We are a family of four: Jane 51, Glenn 56 and Miles and Jude both now 18 years old. We live on a 5.5 acre hobby farm in Central Victoria, where we grow all our own organic food. After leaving a frantic city life 5 years ago (incl London and Melbourne) we now live a sustainable life, contributing to the building of our ethical and healthy local community. Jane is a yoga teacher and Glenn a Shiatsu Practitioner and disability worker.
Plans are underway to build a Healing and Education centre on our property where we will offer health and yoga retreats and courses, as well as permaculture and sustainability. Please let us know if you are interested in joining this exciting time in this project.
Particular skills we are after:
- gardening, or an interest in learning and getting your hands dirty!
-filming and photography
-social media and marketing skills
-building and renovation skills
