    Greetings!

    We are a network of consciously living and deeply committed individuals developing our project, a centre of excellence looking at ecology, creativity and well being through an integrative and holistic lens. We aim to provide opportunity and sanctuary to individuals on a path of personal research and growth in alignment with our aims and aspirations.

    Our AIMS ARE:

    To create and manifest a paradigm for the world we want to live in and the world humanity needs to prepare for alongside deeply resonating thinkers and feelers.

    To provide a platform for enriching, supportive exchanges and educational opportunities amongst ourselves, to then reach to the wider world. We believe this can be achieved in an environment promoting clear communication, individuality, kindness and respect for each other in a setting where nature can thrive fully, teaching and supporting us in the process.

    To collectively learn how to reconnect with nature, ourselves and each other, working with our higher self and innate wisdom, uncovering our personal life path through deep healing while refining and enriching our creative gifts.

    ****************

    Although we are at the embryonic stages of birthing the project in its full glory, we are looking for deeply resonating individuals who would like to be part of the vision at this formative stage: our current property is rented and part shared with a family of four (in the main house) on their own path. The space can therefore not be treated as our permanent home despite its infinite charm and potential. As with most rental situations, this limits how far we can go as a fully fledged programme. There is no guarantee we will be running any groups, events or workshops over the course of your stay although you will find it very easy to connect with the local community in Glastonbury, one of the most open and welcoming in the UK.

    The reasons we are keenly inviting volunteers are:

    *To create meaningful and lasting connections in line with our fully hatched vision

    *To learn from group situations on a smaller scale, to better shape the final version of who we are by understanding our supporters’ deeper needs and dreams.

    *To offer opportunity for immediate development to passionate individuals and prepare for smooth integration within the wider community when we finally acquire our permanent home and land.

    **************

    Our project is made up of -and warmly welcomes- individuals from a variety of ethnicity, gender identification, sexuality and spiritual belief and we do not discriminate, nor do we tolerate any form of discrimination against any of these.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    You will be guided through every step of the process by project leader and multi award winning artist, performer and teacher Thierry Alexandre; learning new skills and abilities along the way from a wide breadth of disciplines, encompassing hands on DIY, arts and crafts, wearable art construction, preservation methods for organic materials, performing arts, stage presence, energy focusing skills, philosophy, meditation, emotional intelligence, embodied dance, the healing arts, cooking and dynamic living while sharing your existing knowledge and skills with us.

    You will also be able to enjoy a deeply peaceful property and land set on several acres of nature grounds, pasture land and edible gardens with some of the most spectacular walks and wilderness in Somerset county. We are located on the edge of a very picturesque valley with views of Glastonbury Tor.

  • Arbeit

    Arbeit

    Much of our current output is going towards the transformation of a disused farm building into a welcoming space for small groups and an art studio to continue developing the community component of our project in this new location. Help with cleaning, draping fabrics around the space, diy, putting up shelving systems, organising the studio space, putting up a marquee (yes, inside the farm building to create an intimate and easily heated space within the space), setting up furniture in the marquee, decorating, and lighting. We will also need to install a bannister on the outdoor staircase leading to that building if you have these skills to share.

    From around spring/ summer 2024, once we have established that communal space in the farm building, we will start to welcome more group sharing and learning in the form of workshops or events you/others may wish to offer. We will also welcome practical support to put together new concepts of wearable art and costumes in the art studio for our performance company. At that stage, someone with a steady hand, an eye for detail and a willingness to learn new skills while working with organic materials can join our project for an agreed period. Previous experience in art or craft would be helpful although not essential if we can ascertain that this would be a beneficial exchange. Tasks to be expected could then range from sewing, stitching, glueing, papier mâché structure making, gold leaf gilding, crystallising, drilling, attaching with thread or wire, decorating, precision painting and more. Our wearable art pieces are used in performances happening in London, the UK and internationally. They are often museum grade detailed works of art and require a degree of patience and stamina to create something totally unique and exceptional.

    Our deeply engaging and committed group rallies for ecological and social justice and our work extends to central London with the possibility of your skill set being used in that setting should you so wish. Accomodation there is in Camden Town and you will benefit of exciting cultural and social opportunities in that time. We can discuss this option further should you be interested.

  • Unterkunft

    Unterkunft

    You will have your own bedroom/living quarters with a gas heater, basic kitchenette, sink and toilet in an utterly charming building with views over the cottage garden and the Somerset levels beyond. This is located right next to the main house, amid extraordinary farm buildings with some dating to the 16th century. We are in the process of creating an outdoor, fire heated bath but you can access the main house for showers in the meantime/if preferred. We are a few weeks away (less if you have those skills to share) for an electric hot water tap to be installed in your own living quarters.

    Delicious Vegan or Veggan food will be cooked and shared daily, from healthy, organic, pure ingredients and sometimes in batches that can be enjoyed over a few days to free up time for other activities to cooking (unless you volunteer to cook different dishes daily, of course!)

    There is wifi and access to an internet cable for faster broadband if necessary.

    We encourage you to use your visit as a time of deeply conscious immersion with the self, the incredible local energies and the natural world. Smokers will have a designated outdoor area for that purpose but we do not welcome the consumption of alcohol during your stay. Phone conversations can be made in the privacy of your own space at any time.

    Please note that while the project aspires to be fully vegan/veggan, the occupants of the main house may not and there is a large cow shed used by traditional farmers on the edge of our property. This may affect individuals with specific sensitivities around animal rights and render our location unsuitable to them.

    There are many local walks and paths that can be enjoyed directly from our doorstep including a nature reserve and a waterfall in our valley. Glastonbury is a 10 minute drive away or 30 minute cycle through the most glorious country roads (we can loan you bikes). The nearest bus stop is a 20 mins walk away and buses to Glastonbury, wells and Shepton mallet from there run every two hours or more until 1800 Monday to Saturday. Castle Cary and Bristol Temple Meads are the nearest train stations and can be accessed by an easy connection of two local buses.

    Glastonbury has one of the richest spiritual history in Europe, sitting on the junction of two major Ley lines and steeped in fantastic charm with a hugely vibrant and welcoming community and a number of events on offer daily. It features two sacred spring water wells, a world peace garden and national heritage sites of great importance.

    On our site, we enjoy living in a deeply connected manner, encouraging quality and meaningful interactions as well as honouring individual rythms and need for solace, in an atmosphere of peace and quiet reflection. A degree of dedication and willingness to commit to developing yourself and the project here is expected of our guests and clarity in communicating mutual expectations will be a priority in our preliminary communications, coupled with a defined schedule of work tasks and personal time once you have arrived.
