    Description

    Hi I am Angela, a yoga instrutor, Spritual Empath and healer. I'm concentrating efforts on re-habing and finishing my home to become a place of healing incorporating permaculture, yoga, art, repurposing, animal/nature/farm therapy. I live in an intentional community in a very unique house, the very first one built here, on this 432 acre land trust. There is a large garden, small flock of sheep, a draft horse, a dogs and a cat.

    I really need strong people experienced with using tools (but also can teach these skills) and doing construction for various construction/building jobs. Help is needed with the animals (sheep and draft horse, cat, dog), gardening. There are trees to cut and always firewood to move and stack. Top priority is working on the inside of the house on an eco project to build-out/finish the basement and build a Russian fireplace and adding a floor. We will be working with a various alternative building materials. Bring your enthusiasm and a good work ethic. You will learn permaculture, horticulture, animal husbandry and communication, and eco-building, yoga, and I can do energetic healing work on you if needed. We will be working towards making this a healing space that supports our connections to all things through nature, yoga, art and animals. Come help out and get HEALTHIER and more connected. I encourage and facilitate Spiritual development and find that drugs are counterproductive to this. There is much hard work to do, as this place is really at the beginning stages of things...please bring clothes appropriate for farm work and construction as well as a creative and open mind.

    Accommodation

    Trailer or tent. I am limited to host someone in seasonable weather, as there isn't space in the house just yet, due to the current construction. But there is an airstream trailer you can stay in and the beginnings of a tent platform in the woods and a sunny spot down by the pond next to the garden (I also have tents).
