  Descripción

  Hello! We are Shane and Jessica, the land hosts of Singing Cedars, a beautiful 5 acre piece of land in Powell River, BC. We are a young couple in our 30's who are blessed to live on 5 acres in rural Powell River. Shane is a passionate permaculture designer, audio engineer, music producer, and performer. Jessica works from home on national food security projects and enjoys working in the garden on her time off.
  
  Singing Cedar is a place to rewild, connect to nature, and heal the soul. There is a sacred space on the land where ceremonies are hosted, a small hobby farm, and lots of wild forested space. The vision of Singing Cedars is to continue cultivating community, growing nourishing foods, and offering a space where people can come to learn, grow, and connect more to the essence of what it means to be human.
  
  There is a special kind of stillness out here, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. We value time for quiet and solitude, as well as community and connection. There is a sweet little community in Powell River and opportunities for local music events, dance parties, movie nights, and more.
  
  Our home has a spare bedroom on the main floor, which would be where the WorkAway guest or couple would stay, or in a tent in the forest if you prefer, with access to the house at any time.
  
  Over the winter there are a number of things we could use help with, depending on your skills and interests:
  -helping to finish a cabin we are building (painting, installing cabinets, landscaping, digging a trench)
  -cleaning and organizing our home and storage
  -preparing the farm for spring
  -taking care of dogs and farm animals
  -cooking and meal preparation
  
  We believe in a balanced lifestyle and would want our WorkAway guests to have time to enjoy their stay in Powell River, rejuvenate, and have fun working on our land projects. It's important to us to work out a schedule that works for our WorkAway guest(s). Typically, our workawayers work 25 hours a week on days and times that they choose. We provide 3 healthy meals a day Monday-Friday and breakfast on the weekends.
  
  Singing Cedars is surrounded by forests, wildlife, lakes, beaches, mountains and abundant hiking trails - we are excited to host you and show you the beauty that Powell River has to offer!

  Ayuda

  We are looking for help with gardening, landscaping, animal care (we have a flock of muscovy ducks), and building projects including basic labour support with a small cabin we are building this summer. If the WorkAway guest(s) has building experience already there is also an opportunity to build a simple off-grid 12x12 in the forest that could be used as an extra bedroom for Workaway guests.
  
  This opportunity is open to an individual or couple.
  
  If this sounds like something you are interested in participating in we would love to hear from you!
  
  Any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch.
  
  Health & happiness,
  Jessica & Shane
