    Hi, I'm Joy, I am a full-time volunteer at the foundation in Thomastown, Ireland. The Foundation has been created to give spiritual guidance to families who have experienced great challenges such as the loss of a child or a diagnosis of an incurable illness. Donors have helped the foundation to purchase this land and property so that we can help people and their families in a safe and secure environment. The property includes several homes sitting in a 100 acres of farmland, ancient forest, cultivated lands and a thriving walled garden where we grow fruits and vegetables. There is a main Georgian home, a caretakers cottage and a period lodge with 6 rooms. The main house has been meticulously restored and now holds spiritual retreats in the summer months. This is a special land with a very spiritual energy.

    We have two full-time gardeners and 3 full time maintenance crew so you will have skilled people to learn from. Most have worked on this land for 4-5 years and have many projects and guidance to share with you. One of the gardeners is a musician and we will enjoy some evenings with him sharing Irish music and dance.

    We are looking for support to clear land, to plant and tend some of the organic gardens during February and March 2025. The work will mainly be outdoors so you would need to be ok in all elements! We also have painting jobs (windows/doors), repair jobs, signage and artistic projects so anyone with painting or woodwork skills would be ideal. Anyone who is particularly creative also needed for small creative jobs around the property.
    Generally we need willing hands and those ok to be outside in the winter. We will be doing tasks together and we have full time gardeners and maintenance crew to support and lead us.

    Alojamiento

    We will stay in the lodge which is a house dating back to 1807, it is fully furnished with mostly twin and triple rooms - some with their own bathroom, others will be sharing a main bathroom. The accomodation is guest house standard. There is a large communal dining room, kitchen and living room. The house has wooden floors so noise travels easily. We are looking for workawayers who will be respectful of noise levels so everyone can enjoy their stay. We will provide vegetarian food, some food will be prepared for us by the chef from the main house, other times food will be provided and we will cook together. We have a big bbq in the courtyard and an Arga in the house which will keep us lovely and warm during the winter months.

    We are looking for those who will appreciate the spiritual nature of this property and be a willing hand, fully engaged in the activities. We will have nights with games, cooking and reading. Some activities will be arranged so you can share in the warm hospitality of an Irish home. We are not far from Kilkenny and some day excursions will be arranged including hikes to local sites. Thomastown is a 20 minute walk. We are a non-drinking and non smoking community so whilst we don't need you to be a non drinker, drinking on property is not permitted.
