We are a spiritual, holistic, educational retreat center which has been in operation for 10 years. We are looking for environmentally aware individuals to create a long-lasting resource center that continues for generations to come.
We are looking for summer help or long-term people who want to commit to a vision of creating a Findhorn Foundation-style community and education center in Canada.
The Center is a drug-, tobacco-, and alcohol-free environment and serves vegetarian food.
Our website has a page to give you the basic community information.
For the past 18 years we have been publishing a holistic magazine called ISSUES. We are also looking for people interested in publishing. (Visit us at www.issuesmagazine.net.)
Our community is one hour from Kaslo, the closest small town and two hours from Nelson, a small city. Phone: 1-250-366-4402, 1-250-366-0038
Community location is placed at the center of the zip/postal code, city/state, or city/country (not based on street addresses)
