Live in a spiritual community of men and women dedicated to meaningful work introducing the symbols of Tibetan Buddhism to the West. Since 1975 we have constructed nine temples, cast hundreds of statues in bronze, and landscaped acres of ornamental gardens.

Learn new skills and share your knowledge with our community while living in a beautiful natural environment. Our way of life integrates creative and challenging work with a path of self-exploration that opens up the individual’s inner potential.

No special skills are required and no religious affiliation is necessary to participate at Odiyan. We ask for a six month commitment. We follow a healthy drug-free lifestyle and vegetarian diet.

Current work includes: construction projects, organic gardening, landscaping, casting and finishing statues, kitchen management.
