Description
Come & stay/play/work/create at our beautiful home/spiritual Retreat center in the Canadian Rockies. At this time we only need one volunteer at a time. We are on the Blaeberry River, 17 km NW of Golden, BC. We are learning/becoming more and more self sustaining. We have solar hot water heaters and some solar panels. We have 2 cats, chickens, ducks, a nice size garden, compost piles, fruit trees, berry garden, and a greenhouse. Gardening, landscaping, building, painting, & other creative projects are ongoing. We respectfully request non smokers, no children, and no dogs/other pets. We are looking for energetic people with a good knowledge of English. Volunteers stay in a staff trailer or house. There is opportunity to take part in River Rafting, Fire walks, Sweat lodges etc. when these events take place.

What else ...
We live in a beautiful place! Nestled between the Purcell and Rocky Mountains of Canada we are surrounded by 4 National Parks. . There is one bus service between Calgary and Vancouver that stops in Golden, BC 1x / day. We have bikes that you can borrow to get around. Nearby is a Wolf Wildlife centre, Trail Rides on Horse Back, and a few hikes. We are 15 minutes out of Golden and have to head that way 2 or 3 times / week for supplies.
