Volunteer
Three Jewels has been community-run since the ‘90s. We come together because we’re into studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhist dharma, meditation & yoga.
Volunteers at Three Jewels are the real friends, and real people that you’ve been waiting to meet. Wellness culture is dominated by consumerism and competition, but we’re not here to sell anything or prove anything to anyone.
Our “wellness” is about kindness, and about seeking freedom together— diligently and passionately, in community.
