Seva is the spiritual practice of selfless service and the desire to uplift and assist people, giving help and compassion to others with no thought of what is to gain or what is to be lost by doing so. The practice of seva becomes a path to self-realization, which is the essence of yoga.
The Center offers a variey of opportunités to serve in a unique, inspirational environment.
The Centre’s Art of Living Service Program is a structured four-to-six-month internship for committed and energetic individuals. It offers a perfect setting to look deeper into one’s life. Daily life in the community offers many opportunities for service, learning, and fellowship. Each day, residents of the Center participate together in meditations and Satsang (knowledge + singing). You can also join the morning Sadhana program (yoga + sudarshan kriya).
Participants stay in shared rooms with a shared bathroom. Delicious vegetarian meals are served, and seva is done over six days, for 6 hours a day. There are plenty of leisure activities, including swimming, boating, soccer, cross country skiing, or hiking in Parc Maurice.


Those who are accepted on the program must have completed the Happiness or Art of Living program. We especially encourage those who speak French or are bilingual in French and English. If you are a student working on a crédit program, we can help with arranging school crédit.
You can apply to a general seva to bring your help in the different departments (kitchen, garden, household, etc …) or apply for a particular position. In all cases, you will be involved in the activities and tasks of the group.
