ABOUT THE ASHRAM
Nestled in the quiet town of West Elmira, New York, the Elmira Ashram and Temple is a spiritual hub for seekers across America. The ashram is home to monastics and community members living a life in service to the Divine. Offering daily prayers, lively spiritual discussion, dynamic devotional music, and space to learn or deepen the spiritual aspects of your yoga and meditation practice, the ashram is an oasis of spiritual nourishment amidst the landscape of our often-busy lives.

about us
The Compassion Consortium is a non-sectarian center. We offer well-being resources, spiritual guidance, support, and community fellowship to Vegans, Vegetarians, animal rights activists, animal lovers, and all humans who care about and advocate for animals and the planet.
We recognize that many people do not see their deeply rooted compassion for all creatures reflected in houses of worship or spiritual centers; some people have even left faith traditions after seeing animals excluded from the level of mercy they deserve; in many cases, they're even denied the possession of a soul.
The Compassion Consortium is here to supplement this "missing piece" for persons who are part of another religious or spiritual community and those who are not affiliated ("nones") or identify as secular.
Join us for our next Sunday Service!
On May 21, 2023, at 4:00 pm ET, the Compassion Consortium will present our special guest Martin Rowe, executive director of the Culture and Animals Foundation and co-founder of Lantern Books.
He was the co-founder of Satya magazine and is currently engaged in the Vegan America Project for Brighter Green, an ethical/environmental action tank focused on the Global South. He is a regular presenter at Main Street Vegan Academy. A native of the UK and now an American citizen, Martin is a graduate of Oxford University and holds a Masters degree in religious studies from NYU.
