  • Description

    Description

    We welcome pairs who already have experience in natural building, coordination and media storytelling.

    Each day starts with a clear work plan which you can discuss with us, then carry through with independence and good judgement.

    My husband and I are also busy with daily projects, so this suits people who are self motivated and happy working very independently on community builds and general upkeep.

    Maximum stay is 1 week.

    Our location is deep in the rainforest at the foothills of the Bengoh Range National Park. Access is by boat followed by a hike. We are remote and self reliant. Our home is very remote, off grid and built around community.

    We offer a private room with a private toilet and shower. Home cooked meals are provided. A simple outdoor kitchenette with sink and hob is available for personal use. We suggest volunteers bring their own snacks for between meals.

    Daily tasks maybe practical, often physical, and part of the ongoing work that keeps this place running. We expect initiative and a respectful approach. Helpers need to be self motivated and happy to work independently. We may also ask volunteers to help with carrying supplies and cleaning.

    We are setting up a community bamboo processing facility, and this year we will be designing and building with bamboo.
