Are you longing for more meaningful experiences in your life?
Consider volunteering with us. Through our programs, we offer one-of-a-kind service immersion opportunities deep in the Himalayas.
At Inner Ocean, we curate programs that bridge the gap between simple tourism that barely scratches the surface of another culture – with nourishing underserved Indigenous communities and making a lasting global impact.
Our programs turn ordinary travel
into truly meaningful, life-changing experiences.
After our programs end, our participants are longing for more…that’s why our trips fill up so fast and more than 50% of our volunteers repeat our programs, year after year.
We offer our service immersion programs each year during the spring and fall and welcome practitioners and non-practitioners alike.
Our volunteers are given the opportunity to offer a wide range of healing modalities and education in communities that are chronically underserved, as well as to practice bearing witness within these communities to learn more about their culture and ongoing challenges.
You will return home with a very full heart, life long friendships, and having grown your global family immensely.
Our service immersion programs are completely unique:
- Join a community of heart-centered travelers who long to make a difference in our world.
- Make an impact in underserved communities while also having a life-changing experience.
- Learn about and work to dismantle the complex systems that create and sustain poverty and oppression, globally.
- Become a global citizen and grow your global community.
- Explore shamanism, animism, and Indigenous ways of healing in the Himalayas.
- Because Inner Ocean is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, your program fees, your flight cost, and travel medical insurance are tax-deductible.
- And so much more!
Do you want to travel but also feel like you should be doing something good for the world?
If you open yourself to it, there is an endless amount of heartache in this world as well as unnecessary suffering experienced by our planet and all of its inhabitants. Therefore, there is no shortage of opportunities to serve. Often our opportunities to serve come into direct conflict with our opportunities to take vacations (which we also often need for our own mental and physical wellbeing).
At Inner Ocean, our programs are set up to unite both of these worlds: the world of meaningful service with the world of vacation. We create a balanced itinerary that is based on the needs of our participants as well as the communities we serve.
