Experiential Learning Opportunities
Sadhana USA Practicum Projects and Internships (unpaid): Sadhana USA is a 100 percent volunteer, non profit organization created in 2011 that seeks to nurture the body, mind and spirit of children. Currently Sadhana USA is fundraising to purchase a property and facilities for a future intentional community near French Lick that will host youth summer camps filled with programming designed to enrich their body, mind and spirit. As a small organization led by a lifelong entrepreneur, author, coach and professor, students are empowered to design and execute their own unique experiential learning opportunity. This means students make a greater impact, in an area of their passion, while also feeling supported by an experienced mentor.
Sadhana USA conducts events tied to two separate awareness initiatives:
The Casey Ochs Memorial Football Tournament held November 15th -17th 2024 raises funds while also raising awareness for teen mental health. This event is in year 5 and is held near Indianapolis IN.
The Sustain Art & Music Festival is held May 16th - 18th and raises funds and awareness for sustainability within the festival community. This event is in year 2 and is held near French Lick IN.
The Sustain Small Concert Series will launch Jan 12th of 2024, with events scheduled once a month for the remainder of the year. The Sustain Small Concert Series is designed to support musicians as they travel the mid-west by providing concerts with high margin revenue, flexible venues and supported by the Sustain Festival Community.
