FOR CREATORS BY CREATORS
VOLUNTEER OR TEACH
Creators, travel bugs, natural beings, expressive artists, builders, master craftsmen and ANYONE who is seeking an intimate reconnection to nature, community, and original ways of living on this planet.
This is the first of an annual residency and gathering we will be hosting on this land. We will be focused on working with the raw canvas of our land, meditating with our space and resources and developing a creative living space. You will be learning how to support and sustain yourself through useful skills like carpentry, electrical work, soil repair, plumbing, farming, design, sculpture work, and meal preparation. Together, we will create a self-sustaining River Island; a safe space to discover our unique, true natures through meditation, ceremony, clean food and the medicine of the river.
We have both volunteer and paid craftsman positions for highly experienced teachers and leaders.
