Program Details
We expect self-sufficient, responsible, low-key people who want a quiet place where they can contribute their skills and labour for 5 hours per day in return for living on a beautiful farm with a natural swimming pool. We provide a private room, an outdoor bathroom & a hot shower, & an outdoor kitchen, & bicycles. We don't provide meals. We will set tasks and expect them to be completed.
Activities & Shift
You will be working your own hours for the most part and will manage your own time. We will give you a list of tasks, discuss them for clarity, and when are finished, we expect you to report back to us to ensure they are done well. You will cook your own meals and shop for your own supplies. We share what we grow. We have independent teachers offering yoga, pilates, breathwork and sound baths on site. You are welcome to take classes but will pay for them directly.
Rules
We don't permit smoking or the use of drugs on the farm. We respect the environment and each other. We operate on a level of trust and understanding within a spirit of generosity. For us to work with you, we all need to align.
