How You Can Help
Helper Weekends / Helper Weeks
Helper weeks are for all ages. You are welcome to stay for the week or for a few days. Great if you’re interested in visiting for the first time or you have been before and wish to help in the maintenance and upkeep of the retreat.
A great way of getting away, meeting new people, and spending time in a positive environment.
We always have fun and include a mix of planned projects, leisure activities, and chill time.
Find out about scheduled helper days, workshops, and more here.
Activities are decided upon by the people staying and can include things such as:
-
Firewood collection
-
Property development and maintenance
-
Organic gardening
-
Beach / bush walks
-
Shared meals
-
Outside fire with drumming and music
-
Games and more!
Wwoofers & Work Away
The retreat accepts wwoofers (willing workers on organic farms). Wwoofers are expected to work 4 hrs a day in return for food and board. If you’re an international visitor you’ll get the chance to mix with like-minded locals, along with other WWOOFers.
Kitchen Helpers & Leads
We are always looking for people to be involved with helping as well as leading in the retreat kitchen.
This role can also grow into being able to co-ordinate weekend retreats or workshops.

There's no better way to be part of the team.
