Do you love nature? what about off grid living? How about great food and great company? How about learning some new skills? We need your help with our dream. We have built an earthship (with lots of help) and want to share in this type of building design. We are located in a gorgeous mountain/ bush setting, totally off grid. We make electricity from solar, and our water comes from a mountain spring. The help is different everyday as we hope to teach many things to our fellow travelers. Some jobs include; cob making, bottle brick making, rendering, gardening, landscaping, working on a hugle wall, horse care, harvesting and much more. No experience necessary, just your creative loving hands. Such is the life on a property in the bush. You can sleep in a tipi, or a hut and camping space is also available. We are totally on solar and there is no wifi available here. You might get phone reception in the window (ha, ha). There are amazing bush walks all outside our back door. The weather is changeable; hot to cold, rain, snow, sunshine could all happen in a day. We want to hear about your experiences, and learn from you as well. We are relaxed people and like to help 4-5 hours per day, 5 days a week; some in the morning and some in the afternoon. We start the day with yoga and meditation. On Saturday and Sunday enjoy cooking communally with each other (please provide your own food for that). We have an outdoor area for showering and hot water at the firebath. Just a few sticks and in three minutes, hot water! You will learn how to use a composting toilet. We want to trigger your curiosity to learn other ways of adapting to a simpler lifestyle. We want to share our experience in alternative living with you not just have you come and help. We encourage a community environment and good communication. We are vegetarian and would love to cook for you. We ask for two weeks minimum We feel you get a handle on everything as well as become invested in the project. We arrange transport from Deloraine during a weekday and do not drive into town everyday. We practice biodynmaic gardening, yoga, meditation and have a million stories about India. We look forward to meeting you... Peace

We hope to share with you how to live simply and totally off grid. As well, we like to share our skills in tipi making, bush skills, hide tanning and meditation. We will be able to teach you how to make cob, how to build with cob, what an earthship is, cooking, making a rocket stove and generally how to get the most out of life.
We are making cob, bottle walls, light construction and heaps of pizzas in the cob oven. We also practice biodynamic gardening and grow about 20% of our food so we are hoping for help in the garden. As well making trails, paths, cool nooks. Making the fire bath area super awesome is also one of the projects. Have you ever made a rocket stove? Come and learn how!

We live in a mountain setting with lots of bush walks all around the house and caves up the back. We also have two horses.
