Description

We’re here on Workaway to deepen our hands-on experience with infrastructure(construction, electrical, plumbing, off-grid systems) and natural building, regenerative food systems, and community resilience. In 2025, we have completed a 3 month apprenticeship in Superadobe dome construction with the Mojave Center in Arizona, and we dream of sharing this skill to build friendships and empower communities through self-reliance, food sovereignty, and holistic health.

We have experience in both rural and urban agriculture. Our hearts are deeply connected to Indigenous initiatives, land-based healing, and the power of mutual aid—feeding the village through reciprocity and care. We believe in learning from ancestral knowledge, honoring and evolving sacred traditions, and co-creating spaces where people can thrive together.

With backgrounds as athletes, youth & young adult educators, and bodyworkers, we are passionate about embodiment—learning through movement, breath, and play. Whether it’s sprinting through a field, diving into cold water, or dancing around a fire, we see movement as a vital part of being alive.

Our long-term vision is to cultivate a farm-to-table stewardship center that is also a gathering space for storytelling, grassroots activism, rites of passage, outdoor education, and community wellness. We thrive in active, hands-on environments where we can create, build, and grow alongside others.

We bring a wide-ranging set of skills—from natural building and permaculture to k-12 education, coaching, youth mentorship, massage therapy, recovery modalities and functional movement. We love creating writing, cooking and preserving food, and forming deep friendships with kindred spirits.

Some of our favorite moments include early morning tea, late-night fireside conversations, and sharing meals with engaged people. We are here to learn, share, and build something meaningful with others who are passionate about comprehensive embodied living.

If our energy resonates with you, let’s connect and create something beautiful together!
