The Beginning of a Ten Day Seva at TOL.

By Phebe Phillips Leave a Comment

For the next ten days, I have a Seva position at Dr. Gabriel Cousen’s, Tree of Life Center in Patagonia, Arizona. I have been asked many times What Is It?,and Where Is It? I will try to explain it in the next few posts. My jobs are in the Sprout House and Cafe. The day begins very early and there is always plenty of work to do.
