assistants
Solsara is made possible through the participation and contribution of many assistants who generously volunteer their time, energy, love, insights, and skills to creating the most conducive possible container for this transformative work to occur. Some assistants are new to this practice, and may have just recently completed their first Immersion, while others have been deeply engaged and have assisted at Solsara for many years. Their presence is essential and invaluable to the practice of Solsara.
