    Hello Visionary Travellers!
    I’m Michael, an artist building Plumrose Cottage into a living artwork since 2017.
    Practical Details:
    📍 Location: Lake Errock (lakeside rural community, 90 mins from Vancouver).
    🚗 Access:
    With vehicle? Park on site
    No vehicle? pickup/dropoff from Mission City West Coast Express station.
    Note: Property is intentionally peaceful/remote—ideal for nature immersion!

    🤝 Work: ~20hrs/week. Flexible schedules. Long-term builders prioritized.
    🌱 Exchange: Accommodation + staple simple foods + profound purpose.

    We’re Seeking Travelers Who:
    See remoteness as respite for deep creation
    Have skills in building, gardening, permaculture, or art
    Thrive in collaborative, non-hierarchical environments
    Treat land as sacred (whether private or Crown territory)
