A life with purpose

One place.
A shared purpose.

Here, personal development and care for the world belong together. Yoga and meditation create space for inner growth; farming, shared meals and practical service connect that growth with everyday life.

Our eco-village is a Master Unit of Ánanda Márga. It brings together a meditation center, a Yoga Wellness Center, staff and volunteer accommodation, an organic farm, a carpentry workshop, gardens and ecological water systems.

Join a retreat, share your skills as a volunteer, or arrange a visit to discover this way of living for yourself.

Set among mature trees and open lawns, our main building has been part of Suruci’s landscape since 1991. It sits alongside the gardens, orchards and spaces that make up our eco-village today.
