Informationen
Beschreibung
We are an international Monastic community of Orthodox Christian Nuns, with roots in Greece. Our Sisters are from various countries (Greece, Norway, England, Russia, USA, Georgia, and others). We are located on a farm in a mountain village near Valldal.
Our main occupation is keeping the daily and festal services of the Liturgical year, which encompasses ecclesiastical arts, Byzantine music, spiritual literature, and hymnography, but we spend time also cultivating the farm, especially for herbs, because we produce all-natural, handmade healing balms and soaps.
We are open to hosting volunteers, who demonstrate a strong work ethic, and a desire to participate in the Services, especially if they have specialized knowledge or experience in any particular area of work, especially Construction and Forestry.
Workaway Volunteers are welcome to attend the Daily Services of Matins, 07:00, Vespers,17:00 and Small Compline, 18:30, and are requested to partake in the daily common meals, at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
In periods or on days of "fasting", prescribed by the Church, (Great Lent, Wednesday, Friday, etc.), food containing meat, dairy, eggs, is not consumed. In periods or on days where all foods are allowed, the food may contain meat, dairy, etc.
We do not have the possibility to cater to any other dietary preferences such as vegan, vegetarian, raw diets.
The hours between meals are designated for work projects (10.30-16.30).
The Sisters will accompany, demonstrate, and explain to workers the task at hand. Volunteers are required to dress modestly.
No smoking is allowed on the grounds of the Sacred Monastery.
Please be prepared to work in groups with Sisters, with other volunteers, and also alone.
