Our Approach
Care for Body, Mind & Soul
Empowering Youth requires first and foremost a healthy body, a peaceful mind and a connection with the higher self. Through our youth activities, we aim to provide young people with the most important foundation for a happy life.
By volunteering on the farm, volunteers have the opportunity to learn about and apply the main areas of a self-sufficient life, connect with animals and nature, attend different seminars, work on individual projects, prepare delicious and vegetarian dishes, learn exciting content based on Vedic knowledge and participate in kirtans.
