Service with Mount Madonna

As the Audio Visual Support Assistant, you will manage the setup and operation of audio visual equipment for Mount Madonna’s New Year’s Yoga Retreat and potentially other events, programs, and retreats as needed. A/V needs vary widely, from a single presenter with one or two mics to hybrid programs with back-to-back virtual sessions requiring active management of sound, cameras, and live feeds. You will ensure sound quality both in the room and online, operate cameras remotely with zoom and panning to create an engaging experience for virtual retreat participants, and communicate directly with presenters and musicians to support their programs from start to finish. The role also involves troubleshooting equipment issues in collaboration with the IT team and maintaining an organized inventory of A/V equipment. The ideal candidate brings working familiarity with soundboards, audio and video interfaces, cameras, and platforms like Zoom, a good ear for mixing sound, the physical capacity to transport and install equipment, and a self-directed approach to managing projects with limited oversight.

As a Barista at Anjaneya’s World Cafe, you will serve coffee, tea, and a thoughtfully curated selection of beverages and snacks to Temple visitors, retreat guests, and residents at the center of Mount Madonna’s campus. The role spans attentive drink preparation, point-of-sale work through the Square App, to-go food service, and the daily care of keeping the cafe space clean and welcoming. A flexible schedule with weekend availability is essential, along with a friendly and self-motivated approach and the ability to work with people from a wide range of cultures and communication styles. Barista experience is a plus but not required.

Join the Kaya Kalpa Wellness Center team in offering restorative bodywork and Ayurvedic therapies to the guests, residents, and staff of Mount Madonna. We’re seeking a certified massage therapist with availability throughout the week, especially Friday – Sunday, to support increased guest flow.

You will be part of a warm, professional, and grounded team dedicated to supporting others on their personal healing journeys. If you’re local to Aptos, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Gilroy, or Morgan Hill, we’d especially love to connect with you.

As the Facilities & Maintenance Manager, you will lead the team responsible for maintaining and improving the physical infrastructure across Mount Madonna’s 380-acre campus of residences, retreat facilities, and sacred spaces. You will supervise, schedule, and mentor a multi-trade team spanning carpentry, plumbing, electrical, masonry, vehicle mechanics, and general maintenance — planning and prioritizing daily and long-term work, overseeing preventive maintenance programs, managing capital projects and vendor coordination, ensuring code compliance, and maintaining accurate documentation. This is a working manager role that also involves managing the facilities budget, partnering with department leaders across campus, and responding to emergency repairs including after-hours. The ideal candidate brings experience leading a facilities team, broad hands-on trade knowledge, strong organizational skills, and an active electrical license or willingness to work toward one.

As a member of the Housekeeping team, you will care for the physical spaces that support Mount Madonna’s daily rhythms and deeply rooted purpose — tending to guest rooms, residential spaces, and common areas with mindfulness and attention. Whether preparing rooms for new arrivals, assisting with dishwashing and restocking, or supporting special cleaning projects, your work helps create a welcoming environment where all can feel cared for and at home. The role calls for comfort with the physical demands of cleaning, attentiveness to detail, self-motivation, and distinguished guest service. Spanish-English bilingual skills and commercial kitchen experience are valued but not required.

Mount Madonna is looking for a reliable and flexible team member to float between departments and support the smooth flow of daily operations. In this hands-on role, you will help prepare meals, wash dishes, and assist with housekeeping tasks — all while upholding cleanliness, safety, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you are detail-oriented, proactive, and enjoy variety in your day, this role offers a dynamic way to contribute to the heart of our community.

As Maintenance Support, you will join a collaborative team of experienced tradespeople and volunteers responsible for the upkeep of retreat spaces, residential buildings, community facilities, and grounds across 380 acres. Your days will span a diverse range of tasks — from plumbing, electrical, and carpentry to vehicle maintenance, painting, masonry, and landscaping — with opportunities to both develop new skills and share your own. You will assist project leads, direct your own work as needed, and bring creative problem-solving to installations, diagnostics, and repairs. This role is a strong fit if you can safely operate small to medium power tools, understand jobsite safety protocols, communicate clearly and effectively, and are comfortable with the physical demands of the work, including lifting up to 40 pounds, using protective coverings, and working with cleaning supplies throughout a shift. Experience with main construction trades or plumbing is a plus.

As the Plumber, you will install, diagnose, repair, and maintain plumbing systems across Mount Madonna’s unique campus of residences, retreat facilities, and sacred spaces — including water supply lines, drains, waste and vent systems, fixtures, water heaters, pumps, wells, septic systems, and irrigation. The work calls for creative problem-solving across aging, varied, and custom infrastructure, as well as a willingness to support broader facilities projects and other trades where work overlaps. The ideal candidate brings demonstrated plumbing experience across residential and/or commercial systems, a clear understanding of jobsite safety, strong communication skills, and pride in quality craftsmanship within a mission-driven environment.
