Important Notes on Community Environment

ASHA is an active retreat centre.

Guests are often engaged in deep personal work.

Volunteers are expected to:
    •    Maintain appropriate boundaries
    •    Respect privacy
    •    Support a calm and professional environment
    •    Avoid becoming involved in guest processes

We follow a clear Code of Ethics and relational framework outlined in the Volunteer Handbook. We'll share this with you upon successful application.
