  Looking for people to help with various building projects (natural cob build , yoga shala etc.), planting trees, gardening, feeding animals and cooking. at the moment we have many projects on the go and looking to start, as-well open to creating space for new ideas.
  Looking to start small community vibes---
  
  Hey there, my name is Maitland and i am 30 years old from the Sunshine Coast. i have been travelling a lot around the world and Australia for the past 10 years, most of my time in my early 20’s was spent in Latin America , learning Spanish and Portuguese, with focus on spending time with the locals and getting to know the culture. In the past 5 years i have spent many years training yoga, meditation, tai qi and qi gong in Asia. I have trained with Shaloin monks, and spent much time meditating in Buddhist temples, also training in traditional kundalini and tantra yoga in the Himalayas in northern India. With my feet firmly rooted on the ground. my parents and i have been learning and practising sustainable organic farming for the past 15 years.
  
  In my travels i have done maybe 20 or more Workaways, and they have always have been highlights and the most beneficial parts of travel. When i am not travelling, i am here working on the family farm. My parents and I like to learn new things from people from around the globe, as well as share what we have to offer.
  We are an almost self sufficient organic farm in the Sunshine Coast hinterland (1hour from Sunshinecoast beaches). where most times 90% or more of our food comes fresh from the land with a great diversity of different foods, we ferment, culture and cure food, and really practice the full circle of holistic health. With my main focus is from the soil health, to the plate of food we eat. in 2019 my parents decided to retire and we downsized the family business, and now focus more on regeneration agriculture, permaculture and living in a sustainable way with an emphasis on amazing food!!
  
  At the moment on the farm there is a few very well established gardens and orchards, and many trees to still be planted. i have built a sauna which we use almost daily, nestle alongside a beautiful Crystal clear creek. most Sundays we have a day of family and friends, fire up the cob wood fired pizza oven with fresh dough and have a day of amazing food and company!
  
  We also have a few building projects, including natural building and cob work. There’s always work in the gardens, and kitchen cultivating and preparing food. Also Plans to build a steam room, yoga Shala, and rustic cabin.
  We are all about community vibes, and very open for new ideas and things that we could create together, we have 120acres of hinterland country backing onto state forests and natural reserves.
  
  I my self am very Interested in movement based practices, meditation, tai chi/qui gong , yoga and breathwork which I would happily be able to share and collaborate together. We also have plenty of forests and clear running creeks to enjoy.
  
  My parents and brother have many years of experience in the regeneration agricultural and permaculture side of things and are always wanting to teach new people.
  
  We are over all looking for people who really want to learn more about this way of living, who enjoy good food and stunning views!
  
  ***PLEASE IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENT****
  The only real requirement is that we ask this is place for people who truly come to learn and grow, people who really want to know more about this sustainable and healthy way of living, we are happy to teach and learn from others. but it is important that this your purpose for coming .
  Also we are not vegetarian, but do accept people who are, that is fine. but just putting this in here so there is no misunderstandings. almost all the food farm to plate comes from either our farm and sometimes swaps with other organic farmers following similar principles . please any further information please inquire
