The experience

This is a recently started not-for-profit cooperative promoting creativity and well-being. Our space is a big old sanatorium, located in south-eastern Finland, one hour away from the capital Helsinki and surrounded by beautiful forests. The space is used to create a community for art, handicraft and wellness. It is important to us to create an atmosphere of open-mindedness and continuous learning.

Program Details

We rent our spaces for events, small and big, usually things around our values, like yoga, dancing, well-being.
These events can be from 10 to 100 people, and are usually over the weekend.
The work includes cleaning before and after events (including sheets), and cooking help during the events.

Activities & Shift

Especially the kitchen work is usually in shifts (morning, lunch, dinner) and during the weekends. It can be the normal 5 hours or longer as you choose, so it adds up to the 25 hours per week in a flexible way.
Flexibility is probably the key word for this position.
Off course it is good if you have experience in cooking and or cleaning.
When there are no events (especially winter) you will do other light diy tasks (see other position)

Rules

We are a vegetarian community (ie no meat/fish). We value the concept of Ahimsa (non- violence in action and talk), use no substances and only little alcohol.
