  *** APPLY FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS' WEEK ***
  NOVEMBER 8th to NOVEMBER 15th 2026
  
  We are looking for motivated people from all over the word to join our traditional Volunteers' week. We will host you and provide food in exchange for 5 hours of help in the morning. We'll work on different projects around the farm and the gardens in the morning. In the afternoon, we organize workshops to teach you new skills (herbal knowledge, bread making, blockprinting, etc), time at the beach and hikes to show you the beautiful coastal region we live in. In the evenings we do dinners, games, music, bonfires, movies, etc.
  We'll also celebrate an early Thanksgiving with a Friendsgiving potluck inviting all our neighbors and friends to join. And we'll have a Powerpoint party to be creative and laugh together.
  Join us!
  
  ps- on parle français ici aussi, au plaisir de vous rencontrer et bienvenue chez nous !

  Hello!
  
  A little about us: We live on a 5-acre farm that serves as a gathering place for community events and workshops. We are dedicated to facilitating continual intellectual growth and encouraging conscientious, reflective, and sustainable living. We host educational lectures, workshops, solstice gatherings, and musical celebrations as the farm.
  
  We are located just outside of the beautiful coastal towns of San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande on the Central Coast of California. Our farm is halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, along the California coast. Our name comes from the Greek word for the place where lives come together, a sort of intersection of souls.
  
  We have a large "main house" that we use for hosting events and additional smaller dwellings where residents and guests stay.
  
  We currently have 4 chickens, 2 cats and 1 dog, a large garden and a vineyard. We are growing Grenache and Syrah grapes, and we make our own wine.
  
  We grow (some) of our own food in our large community garden, enjoy eggs from our chickens, and have a solar-powered property.
  
  We have a few different volunteer cabins that is set up for 1-2 volunteers, which has a bed and bathroom nearby. And plenty of room to camp and put tents.
  
  We have all of the necessary bedding and pillows, but you might want to bring additional blankets or jackets as it gets pretty chilly at night!
  
  We provide healthy organic food for all of your meals, but you will probably have to prepare your own meals most of the time. We are pretty laid-back and like to give people the opportunity to explore our beautiful area when they come.
  
  We typically plan about 5 hours of group work-time per day, and free time the rest of the time. We also offer educational workshops during the afternoon.
  
  We are surrounded by beautiful beaches, wineries, and hikes. If you have a car, this usually makes exploration a lot easier, though we have figured out arrangements for people without cars too.

  A little about your hosts: Olympe is the director. She is passionate about permaculture and ecosystems design. Olympe is a French graphic designer and artist, and permaculture designer certified. Before living here, she traveled across the US and Costa Rica volunteering and learning from different communities and organic farms. Projects at the farm include: perennial garden, food forest, vermicompost, natural building... Other people living at the community are: Finn (photographer), Olivia (CalPoly), Sadie (hebarlist), Kenz (therapist), Em (massage and surf), and Nate (creative medias) + Monarch and Merlin our farm cats and Banjo our cute little dog.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We have a bit of a hippie California vibe, and have cultivated many useful skills for living on a farm. We offer educational demonstrations in beer making, wine-making (though this is a long-term process, but we can offer pointers), bread-making, and coffee-roasting. We also make our own wine and care for our farm animals. If you are interested in learning more about vineyard, chickens and ducks, this is a great place!

  Was noch ...

  we are surrounded by beautiful hikes/ wineries/ breweries/ beaches.
  We are 5 minutes from the quaint town of Arroyo Grande, and 15 minutes from downtown San Luis Obispo (by car).
  
  There are an abundance of hiking opportunities in the area. For an easy but beautiful stroll we recommend the Bob Jones trail, a wide path that ends at Avila Beach.
  
  If you just want to hang out on the beach, we are 10-15 minutes away from the closest beach (by car). Many people enjoy surfing on our beaches.
  
  If you have a car, this usually makes exploration a lot easier, though we have figured out arrangements for people without cars too.
