Description
Only time for you to visit ....
A unique retreat space set up by a Charity, a philosophically based, non-religious organization.
It is completely voluntary and free for young people 18-30 to attend!
The philosophy is based on love and exercising that love by "helping others", meaning EVERYONE who stays has a role in helping others and there fore helping themselves as well as being helped.
The Eco earth brick building is set amongst 9 hectares, surrounded by a stream, beautiful bush, organic orchards and gardens.
The Retreat currently runs workshops and group visits during some weekends.
We have a helper time, this is the only time we can host you due to a small team who live off site at other times from Helper projects. -
