Every year, since 2009, we organize a Yoga for Unity Conference to promote "inner change for global change" and those making a positive difference in the world through service and social activism. The event is a fundraiser for Off the Mat Into the World and various global humanitarian efforts and local yoga outreach programs. So far we have raised over $2000 to support seva work all over the world. See photos from the 2010 Conference!
Each year around September 21st, United Nation's International Peace Day, we organize a Global Mala event to bring the yoga community together for 108 sun salutations and to fundraise for a charity. In 2010, our community Yoga for Peace event raised over $1200 for Centre County Big Brothers Big Sisters, and 2011 we raised $1470 for Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture.

"As long as space endures,
As long as sentient beings remain,
Until then, may I too remain
And dispel the miseries of the world."
