~ Together Supporting Awakening ~
Aloka Vihara Forest Monastery is located in the Sierra Foothills of California and
offers a place where women can train as nuns and lay visitors
can practice and serve.
During the pandemic the vihara is open for afternoon visits and meal offerings.
We are beginning to open to overnight visitors, for more info write to <guestnun@gmail.com>.
