Description
I am opening my home to workaway guests after being away from home and out of the country.
I have a soulful large home that accommodates guests comfortably . My home is in the heart of a much desirable rural location -the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts.Charming picturesque villages and unparalleled natural beauty .
My current household is myself and my son who occasionally visits on weekends. I have a large multicultural family most of whom who live all over USA and internationally. In 2021-2023 I spent 2 months in South East Asia and doing travel work in Santa Fe New Mexico
I am a professional midwife, social justice activist and humanist.I have worked for Circle of Health Int. with immigration detainees and in the disaster zone after Hurricane Maria.
I practiced yoga for decades and am into a wellness lifestyle.
My land is shared with another small home and family . I live in a nearly 100 year old square colonial house with 1 acre of land on a well traveled road that is central to cultural attractions .
LGBTQ & POC welcoming home .
I seek those who have who have a “can do” kinda of attitude,self motivated with willingness to help and interact.I can be of special interest to workawayers with interest in world religions, healthy living, herbal medicines, womans health ,good cooking , multiculturalism and world travel. I can support your interests and share some regional adventures. I love good company around the fire and sharing delish meals. I love to network in the community and have had artists, musicians and writers visit .
I am up keeping my home and need helpful volunteers willing to paint, people with do -it- yourself skills ,help with floor refinishing , organizing , cleaning and sorting, gardening etc.
Spring clean up will be upon me soon and that requires lots of work on the land and gardens and I will be focused on home repairs and maintenance.
The Berkshires are rich in alternative lifestyles ,yoga and healing centers , arts, music, hiking , skiing & activism.
Massachusetts is medical and recreational cannabis state.
Located about 2.5 hours to NYC and Boston. 1 hour to Albany NY. 1.15 hour to Hartford Connecticut.
My home is my sanctuary.
My home is my temple.
I maintain a relaxed respectful vibe . Co-housers maintain a harmonious cooperative relationship with one another with deep respect for each other’s personal space.
My home is filled with tasteful artwork, comfortable beds , furnishings, home cooked food and interesting people coming and going.
Woodstove is delightful in fall and winter but gas heat too, Large windows and lots of light.
My road is heavily trafficked since they built it up several years ago but now has the benifit of being on the busline, has a sidewalk to town and bikelane.Traffic slows in late fall.
I am a community builder and networker and can help you connect locally for a rich experience.
I will provide ( or we will cook together) at least one solid tasty meal a day and self-serve breaky foods are available. Mostly plant based protein, eggs, limited cheese and meat. I have had a natural foods lifestyle for decades.Rule of thumb is: those that don’t cook help with dishes. All guest /workawayers clean up after themselves and take respoonsability for the quality of their communications, I do the same.
I invite a Workawayer who has developed their ability to cohouse harmoniously, likes to share meals, help with cleanup and occasional shared activities but who also has stability in self and autonomy.There is plenty of time for personal space and exploring on your own.
