    Description

    We’re hosting a small volunteer group for our design and build from 22 to 30 August at our Homestead. The focus will be on natural building.

    I’d love to hear more about how you’d like to contribute. I’m suggesting a volunteer group meetup in Kuching on the 21st, then travelling together the following day, catching the boat at 3PM.

    We are seeking contribution in media and natural building. Your time with us should result in a meaningful contribution. We follow a structured daily rhythm, with 5 hours of work each day starting at 9AM.

    Only accessible by boat. We are off grid homestead in the jungle and there are no shops. Be sure to bring everything you will need for your stay.
