Description
We are Emanuel and Narla (fury friends, Sylvan, Otto and Leto), a young couple working to restore native forest and support our community through providing access to natural spaces to facilitate transformational work.
Located on 71 acres with 750m of river front, the property is close to national parks and about 40 minutes from Byron Bay.
Long term we aim to turn the property into a retreat centre to host groups engaged in personal and spiritual evolution.
During COVID lockdowns we supported a full time community but are now in the phase of improving the site to allow groups to be more comfortably supported before we return to hosting large groups regularly. Our project is volunteer and donation based.
The property is abundant in natural beauty with several deep swimming holes on the river and rare wildlife including platypus and koala. We also have quite the range of animals, dogs, cat, rabbits, guinea pigs, guinea fowl, chickens and a very cuddly snake!
We grow much of our food supported by a collection of poultry.
We value clear communication, having regulated nervous systems and an esoteric understanding of the universe.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are part of a vibrant and connected community involved with various transformational avenues related to shamanism, tantra, permaculture, esoteric studies and art.
In addition to forestry projects we occasionally host community events on the property and at times are involved in creating installation art.
The project is heavily based in permaculture and we look forward to teaching you about this as part of supporting what we do here.
Esoteric studies are a central theme of our lives and we enjoy many discussion around this topic and can guide those with a more serious interest in the process of initiation.
Help
Tasks are based around land management, tending to the gardens, helping alongside tractors to clear weeds, feeding branches into the wood-chipper, planting trees, basic construction and other farm related tasks as well as helping to maintain our large permaculture food garden. At the time we may also have art projects being created.
3 - 4 hours a day, Monday - Friday, open to dicussion and figuring our the best suit.
Some work aways have down 2/3 more full on days and used the other days to go travel the region.
Also to acknowledge that the work we do is very weather dependant.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Fully furnished room inside our house with queen sized bed, wardrobe, sheets and towels.
Shared kitchen, bathroom, laundry and living space with outdoor deck. House is simple, clean, functional and well insulated.
Abundant permaculture food garden provides much of the vegetables and some eggs with added dry goods provided as well. Tendency towards bulk cooking and shared meals, especially on helping days.
What else ...
Note - we are 15 mins from the nearest town (by car).
This is a rural area, and is preferable that you have your own car.
If you don't also fine, but we only tend to leave the house every few days so know that travel will be limited with that.
