From Service to Soulful Impact
From Australia to India - a journey rooted in love & service.
My Story
Bodhi Tree Australia was born from a deep inner calling — to live in service, walk with humility alongside rural communities in India, and gently weave a bridge between two worlds through compassion and action.
During my two years working at Bodhi Tree School in Bihar, India, what began as volunteering became a path of deep connection and learning. I built meaningful relationships, witnessed the strength of community-led education, and experienced a sense of belonging that reshaped my understanding of purpose.
Returning to Australia, I carried more than stories — I carried a responsibility to honor what I had been given. I knew I had to continue the mission and carry the spirit of Bodhi Tree School forward in a new way. With this, a vision emerged — one of co-creating something that invites reflection, opens hearts, and brings people into deeper relationship with each other and the world around them.
Bodhi Tree Australia is the embodiment of that vision. Through soulful Bodhisattva Retreats, Rural Immersion Internships, volunteering, grassroots fundraising, and conscious offerings like Bodhi Elements — this work invites connection, stillness, and meaningful change. It is guided by purpose, rooted in love, and grounded in the belief that when we walk together with open hearts, lasting transformation unfolds.
