Ashram West exists in a one-bedroom apartment in the Silver Lake section of Los Angeles, California, that provides limited use for classes and gatherings and no space for over-night visitors. We are actively soliciting donations to obtain a permanent residence that will allow more long-term residents and monks to live together, guests to stay for retreats, and space for rituals and gatherings.
The Mr. SoCal Leather Contest is our annual fundraiser that helps support the ashram's activities and services, giving us another public presence in the community.
Please consider giving a donation in any amount by clicking on the convenient PayPal donation button below. Also, please consider making an estate bequest to Ashram West in your will. Ashram West is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporations, and your donations may be tax deductible in the U.S.
