  Description

  Open the door to the sounds of the forest.
  
  We are a group devoted to the rescue and documentation of the vast cultural knowledge before it is lost to the world.
  
  We are dedicated to the conservation of native medicinal plants and the natural habitats that support these culturally and ecologically significant species.
  Our focus lies not only in the preservation and stewardship of endangered plants but also in the practices, legends and ceremonies that they inspire across the world.
  We have deep relationships with tribal elders who help guide our work, teach us how to carry this knowledge and pass it forward to future generations.
  
  Our truest intention is to inspire and empower others to create medicinal gardens and diversify the guardianship of Earth's ecosystem for the health of all.
  
  Our center has hosted more than 700 volunteers since its inception.
  We have developed a special offering for those searching to live in health, service and abundance.
  
  The education given to make helping hands helpful is quite extensive and a great investment on our part. The greatest of teachings are given to those who work and devote themselves to the service of humanity.
  
  The type of work here is varied and can change month to month.
  
  The Heart of our center: The Kitchen
  We are looking for people inspired by the garden to table creation of pure food to steward the Main hall space.

  Carpentry:

  There are plenty of opportunities to learn in addition to the volunteer responsibilities.
  
  Are you ready to embark on a green-thumbed adventure in our sacred garden? We're seeking passionate individuals who have a knack for nurturing and a keen interest in sacred plants.

  Heart Center: The Kitchen
  This entry level offering is for the person who is excited for the ability to learn and adapt to this environment. Because one month is little time and orientation to the space can take 2 weeks to learn the language of the land we ask that volunteers spend a month dedicated to the MainHall. We are looking for people with the passion and energy to take the reins in the kitchen to make meals for our community, the Heart of our center.
  
  Tasks include:
  *Processing harvests from the garden- into meals and snacks to support our community as we move through the work day. Help us to make the greatest use of all we are growing! (Cooking on average for 5-9 people)
  *General Maintenance: Clean counters, keep sinks free, clean floors, organize table, kitchen laundry: rags, rugs, towels
  
  Those who have the heart to serve with love, grace and fire unlock a deep medicine within that cannot be described until experienced. We come to the living alter of our space every day first asking what it needs from us before we turn to ask for our needs and desires to be met. In the same way, we hope to find people aligned with the love that drives us forward to be vectors for the plants to thrive. After dedicating a month to the kitchen which provides the foundational learning of the flow here, there are ample openings for a shift in work responsibilities and focuses.
  
  Specialized position: Carpentry
  We are building a small house on the property that is mostly finished but needs welding and general construction support. We are in the process of installing screens around the cabin, putting doors up, welding support beams, tiling etc.
  This person should have experience and passion to apply, natural building knowledge especially desire!
  
  Great to be clear. This is not a holiday location. Working in the Costa Rican sun and jungle rains can be difficult.
  We are adventurers and explorers that know how important one single day can be.
