Are you Garden Elf? Permaculture Elf? Cosmic Gardener? Earth Lover? Deva Dancer? Tree Elf? Are you the S.elf who wants to live at Heartwood?
Okay, we’re officially looking for one person/elf (or two, if a couple or friends want to share accomodations) who is interested in living and contributing at Heartwood, a 100 acre property in the Haliburton Highlands. We are offering a spring-summer-fall opportunity, with the potential for this to extend into winter, or longer-term. Our goal is to become sustainable in terms of Food, and we are looking for someone to help us with homesteading, gardening and building…
Location
Near Minden, Ontario, Canada.
We offer
- accommodations in a 24 ft trailer (running water, washroom, electricity, kitchen, heat, etc.)
- living on 100 acres of pre-cambrian wilderness with 33 acre pond, creek, forest, etc.
- artesian spring living water, pure and tested to the max
- food from the garden (amount to be determined based on how much we can grow – our goal is to be fully sustainable and we need your help with this! )
- use of kayaks, dock, trails, swimming, hiking, etc.
- welcome into our small elf community (1 female elf, 1 male elf, 1 dog. plus all the wild animals, Trees, Plants, etc).
- appreciation, compassion, forgiveness, understanding, humility and valor: the opportunity to discover and practice living from the heart.
- Guidance and instruction in meditative & yogic arts & heart coherence techniques, (if you are interested)
You offer and contribute
- 24 hours work per week as your contribution. Mainly gardening, permaculture and outdoor/homesteading type work – no skills needed (you can learn them all) but you must be willing! If you have construction/building skills that is a bonus (or again, if you are willing to learn), and
- $150 financial contribution per month
- 16 hours work per week as your contribution.
- $300 financial contribution per month
Note: If you would like to work more and pay less financially, that is an option. If you would like to work less and pay more financially, that is an option too – please indicate your fair proposal in your letter to us. The numbers given here are for one person. To omit any confusion, please note you are not being paid for the work you do; the work you do is in exchange for living here!
Potentials to be Discussed WHILE you are living here this spring/summer
- The opportunity to discuss how you can be a part of the elfhood vision and contribute your gifts and talents to the creation here, on a long-term basis of living, working, being, creating. We are creating a new model of education and need assistance to build the sustainble all natural school buildings to house our elf-selves. We also need many other skills to manifest this project.
- The opportunity to move into our Home with us (one female elf, one male elf, one canine) come the cold Autumnal Winds…
A Few Other Details
- Our community is smoke, drug and alcohol free.
- Re pets: Canines welcome. Felines unfortunately are not at this time.
- We would love your participation in yoga and meditation, though this is not a requirement.
