The experience

We need help with all types of building, our sanctuary is run by volunteers and this includes building. We build from recycled materials where possible. We always need help in every area of building, such as carpentry, welding, general handy-people, plumbing, electrics, natural building, technicians. Please consider this is a really hard job, done mostly under the sun, lifting heavy materials and working together with high-skilled workers.

Program Details

Unlimited food from our storages and basic accommodation is provided, in exchange for 25 hours work per week and a couple of hours working towards the community. It’s rustic & basic but comfortable and we provide everything you may need for the duration of your stay.

We cook most of our meals together, have a cleaning rota as a community and everyone is encouraged to take part and do their bit! To really enjoy the experience here you must be happy to live in a very modest and sustainable way.
