Dharma is a yogic principal that means you perform a service or duty to Divine Source for the betterment of yourself, your community or the world. The Dharma work exchange gives everyone a chance to live in spiritual community. The work is considered selfless service. All work performed is considered equal. All energy is offered to the Divine within. Dharmic service helps release karma and advances spirituality
