We love welcoming visitors and volunteers –
young and old, families with children and singles. We appreciate the opportunity to learn from each other as we work, worship, share meals and times of relaxation together.

  • We generally offer a 1-3 day initial visit but we can be flexible. If you’re staying for a week or longer you may be asked to fill out a form enabling us to conduct a simple background check similar to that done by an employer or volunteer organization..

    As a visitor you’ll participate in our daily life, from joining the communal work to taking part in gatherings for worship, meals, and other community occasions. We are not a retreat center. You won’t be paid – no one receives wages or a salary here – but you also won’t be charged for food or lodging.

    We love welcoming visitors! They bring new energy to our community and we appreciate the opportunity to learn from each other as we work, worship, share meals and times of relaxation together.
