Seva Safari: March 2 – 13, 2012 Read about how we built a playground in Kibera on our blog!  http://sevasafari.tumblr.com/


Summer Seva Safari: July 26 - August 6, 2012 Registration is now open! Join us in Amboseli to build a classroom in a Masai village.

 

Take the pledge to raise $5,000 to be part of the journey of a lifetime with the Africa Yoga Project in Kenya. Seva is the Sanskrit word for selfless service; Safari is the Swahili word for journey. The Seva Safari is an opportunity to take a group journey into being of service, as we take a group to Kenya to work in the communities AYP serves.

This 12-day service trip will give you the opportunity to not only witness AYP’s work first hand but to really get to know the teachers and communities as you work together to complete a community service project. You and your teammates will get your hands dirty and take on the personal challenge of stepping outside of your comfort zone in a new culture.

Through daily yoga classes, a community building project, and group activities, participants will discover a world beyond their own, seeing firsthand the impact their contribution makes. The Seva Safari also includes time in Amboseli to immerse yourself in the Masai culture and to see African wildlife.

This amazing cross-cultural exchange provides powerful opportunities for personal growth, meaningful interactions, and the opportunity to engage in selfless service.

We hope to see you in Kenya! If you have any questions about the Seva Safari please email us at: retreat@africayogaproject.org

See what past Seva Safari participants have to say about their experience...

"I joined the Seva Safari in an attempt to help and maybe, in the process, change just one persons life for the better. It turned out that the life that was changed, was my own." - Meg Katz, Seva Safari July 2011

"Seva Safari is an amazing opportunity to learn and grow--beyond writing a check, it's a hands-on chance to work with Kenyan teachers and yoga practitioners to create real community change. AYP has created a fantastic structure for a brief trip with BIG impact. I came away ignited to create people-oriented change in my own community, and I'm continually inspired by what I learned from Paige, the Seva Safari organizers, and the Kenyan teachers about the role that individuals can play in creating wellness worldwide." - Emily Goligoski, Seva Safari July 2011

"Seva Safari transformed my life and my perspective. I made new friends from all over the world. We worked together to build a community center in Kibera. Blood, sweat, tears, willingness, commitment and love went into our project. I saw first hand what a small, committed group of like minded people could accomplish and it left me inspired. My friendships have endured and I enjoy the new communities I am apart of. The world is small and hearts are big. AYP made it possible for me to find ways to spread and share my love, leaving me feeling inspired, powerful and eager to share more love everywhere I go. I encourage everyone to embark on a Seva Safari trip and challenge yourself and discover who you are. We are all more powerful and capable than we think. This trip helped me ignite my inner light." - Caitlyn Saxton, Seva Safari July 2011

“The Seva Safari Trip is guaranteed to change your life; way of being; and over-all perspective to some degree. The combination of on-going yoga practices, daily sharing and reflecting with Africa Yoga Project teachers and students, and the daily challenges and tasks, together encourage penetrating transformation that inspires overall connection and openness. From building a community centre in the largest slum in Africa, to visiting orphaned elephants, to an overnight stay with a Masai tribe in Amboseli National Park - this trip gives you a taste of authentic Kenyan cultures, while taking you into the heart of what Africa Yoga Project is all about. I can't imagine not going on this trip, don't miss out!” – Lauren Mackenzie, Seva Safari July 2011
