  Description

  We’re looking for a small tribe to join our adventure from May - November 2024.
  
  Together we are regenerating 9 acres of sacred land & creating a sustainable, collective, restorative space, which we affectionately call Mandala.
  
  We’re camping, creating & building infrastructure… garden huts, bush regeneration, water catchment, permaculture & syntropic gardening, caring & sharing, within an environment that encourages self care, conscious living & respectful relationship.
  
  We can offer a beautiful, nature based, place to stay with food provided, in exchange for your valued contribution. If this resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
  
  🙏🏽 Kaylene & Tony.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You’ll be working beside friendly, fun people, with a broad range of experience, learning new skills along the way…Builder, Engineer, Permaculture & Syntropic Gardeners etc.
  
  We will be supporting personal development, encouraging each other & unpacking the collective issues we’re faced with, in our day to day lives.
  
  Our intention is to create a fun, short term project, that embraces opportunity for learning & growth.
  
  We want those that are here with us to leave enriched, as much as they will enrich Mandala with their energy & valued contribution.

  Help

  We’re at the beginning, building the infrastructure & looking for people to help with a range of building projects, gardening, orchard, tree planting, weeding, bush regeneration & cleaning.
  
  We need supportive people who are compassionate & kind. We will be doing some personal development along this journey, so listening, sharing & caring for yourself & others is imperative.

  Accommodation

  At the moment we are glamping, in tents, undercover with comfy beds. You will have your own space with a mattress & bedding supplied. The infrastructure is basic, until we create it, but we have an undercover camping area, kitchen, bathrooms & showers.
  
  We will provide 3 meals, 5 days per week (workdays). Afternoons & weekends is free time, when everyone can do their own thing & explore our beautiful island.
  
  We’re happy to negotiate your working hours at Mandala, to accommodate doing some paid work on the island. 😊

  What else ...

  Magnetic Island is a stunning location on the Great Barrier Reef. 78% is National Park. There is much to enjoy around you.
  
  We are creating this sacred space, a place for people to retreat from the ‘broken world’ into a space which is nurturing & supportive.
  
  This is not a commercial venture, it’s our home, that we will share with our local community & wellbeing practitioners for gatherings, shared meals, yoga, healing & learning together.
  
  We are creating a wholesome, sacred space that supports health & wellbeing. We don't have smoking, drugs or alcohol on this land. There’s plenty of fabulous places you can go for a drink on the island. We simply & respectfully ask that you’re not intoxicated here.
  
  We’d prefer people who are looking for a longer stay. Minimum 1 month.
