Descrição
[Currently recruiting for one additional Workawayer who would like to live at the Retreat and have the role of supporting my Parents at their household 20hrs/wk assisting with gardening, cleaning, cooking & crafting
We hope this profile finds you well and ready for an extraordinary journey. If you're seeking a life-changing experience immersed in nature and community, I have an invitation that might just be your calling.
We are in the midst of an incredible journey, building a new life, a sustainable homestead, and a thriving community deep within the heart of the Talladega National Forest. Nestled amidst the picturesque mountains of Alabama, our 40-acre paradise is waiting to be explored.
We are currently looking for an exceptional individual who is passionate about off-grid living, sustainability, and embracing the untamed beauty of nature. Our homestead is a place where dreams are woven into reality, where the sound of waterfalls and the rustling of leaves become your daily symphony.
Dustin has a background in Mechanical Engineering and a love for exploring diverse cultures, he embarked on a journey across 30+ countries, seeking simple truths and perspectives. Now, he's inviting you to join him in creating a space of cathartic serenity.
Your role will be an integral part of our vision. We're working on creating hiking trails, campsites, and crafting cozy cabins. Tasks include stacking firewood, nurturing our chickens, cooking delightful meals, and assisting in the construction of our sauna, cabins, and event dome. Your dedication will help breathe life into our off-grid paradise.
In return, we offer you a unique experience that transcends mere volunteering. Imagine waking up in a private furnished Canvas Bell on a Wood platform deck in the heart of the forest. You'll enjoy comfortable amenities, hot showers, and shared meals that bring us together. We offer a small weekly stipend for your support.
Our land encourages a clothing-optional ethos, allowing individuals the freedom to embrace their choices fully.
This cultural exchange enriches our experiences and highlights our respect for individuality.
If you're ready to be a part of a transformative journey and contribute your passion and dedication to our growing community, then come, join us by the fire. Let's create memories, learn from one another, and bask in the tranquility of Alabama's wilderness.
Looking forward to welcoming you to our off-grid haven!
Come join our Fire. 🌳👣🔥👣🌲
