Join our heart project working mindfully with cows.
The experience
Our unique farm offers Retreats where guests practice mindfulness in the presence of our cows. We are offering the opportunity to come and become part of this heart project, helping with the day to day running of the farm and also assisting during the Retreats. We also are developing a large organic permaculture garden which we would love help with. Helpers would be living and staying in a truly beautiful natural setting.

Program Details
Helpers live with and become part of the family during their stay. We operate with honesty and openness and have a commited approach to work time.

Helpers are treated as guests and not cheap labour and are never asked to work more than 5 hours a day. Weekends are always free. Activities are very varied and include working closely with the cows, forestry work, permaculture gardening and assisting during Retreats.
Rules
We live a very clean lifestyle - no drinking, smoking or use of recreational drugs. We encourage guests to join us in this lifestyle. We eat either vegetarian or vegan organic food.
