Description
Hi, I'm Dada J and I manage a 100 acre campus that includes a meditation / yoga retreat center, farm, a couple of families and a wonderland of upland granite bush. The center is owned by a volunteer organisation based around the understanding of all life being part of the same family.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We like our center to be a creative commons where people can meet, share and help create the Findhorn of the Southern Hemisphere! We value every volunteer and the unique contribution their presence brings.
Help
The work ranges from small scale organic farming - laying irrigation, planting, weeding, harvesting - to general building maintenance - painting, carpentry... - to helping with an annual festival that takes place mid-October.

What else ...
Wild and rugged, the bush around here is breath-taking. Sculptured by weather and bush, the granite forms a landscape of cleft escarpments, boulders and watercourses inhabited by kangaroos, wallabies, koala and much more under the canopy of gum and wattle trees.
We're a meditation / yoga retreat center / organic farm in the middle of this and we also host a popular annual music and wellbeing festival (15 October).A little more information
