⭐️ Activity Title
Living on the Land in Community
🔷 Activity Details
Description
During this volunteering experience you will become part of the daily life of Lighthouse Osada.Earth, a small community exploring regenerative living and cooperation with nature in troubled times. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn by doing, spend time outdoors and experience a different rhythm of life close to nature. Volunteers will take part in gardening and caring for plants and soil. Late summer is the time of harvesting vegetables from the garden and fruit from the old and young orchards and then preparing various preserves for the winter. Together we will also contribute to the construction of our community wooden house using natural building methods. You will also support international events taking place in the space, helping in the community kitchen or taking care of guest area. Living in a community also means spending time together and sharing daily challenges and joys of life. We invite you to the enriching experience of working on the land in the community.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
We practice voluntary simplicity. You will live in a shared room with other volunteers. Ecological dry outdoor toilets with hot outdoor showers are shared with other residents. Most of the infrastructure is outside. We provide three vegan/vegetarian meals a day and access to the pantry and garden crops. We try to eat nutritious and local food. Our farm is located far from towns and close to the forest. There is a bus service to the nearest town, Czaplinek. We have a community car that can be used with resident's consent.
Participant profile
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in community life on the land. Young people looking for their place in society, who are curious about life and are concerned about our troubled world. We are looking for people that are pragmatic and that want to do things with their hands and learn how to use hand tools. The living conditions are simple, but you will live close to the nature and share daily life with like-minded people. Experience is not required, but willingness and enthusiasm to try new things and to learn is.
