2005 Apprenticeships at Ahimsa Sanctuary, in the Oregon Coast Range

We are currently seeking a limited number of generous, hardworking 
volunteers for our apprenticeship program.  At Ahimsa Sanctuary we are 
committed to learning the path of peace, developing a retreat dedicated 
to organic, sustainable living.

Current projects include natural building (adobe/"cob"), organic 
agriculture (market gardening/orchard), permaculture 
landscaping/waterworks, nonviolence education & community building.  
Our sister project is Intaba's Wood Fired Eatery, an organic restaurant 
in neighboring Corvallis.  Apprentices will work and study at the 
Ahimsa homestead, at Intaba's restaurant and on other land leases.

Primary instructors include John, organic farmer and builder, and 
Ocean, peace educator and natural builder.  Openings available 
immediately, with length of stay to be determined based upon mutual 
assessment of skills and learning goals.  Initial one week "working 
interview" required.  Apprentices will be provided with organic meals 
(great food!), shared kitchen/bath, camping/bunkhouse lodging.

We work hard, maintaining "farming hours", and expect the same from our 
volunteer apprentices.  Although we cannot offer a monetary stipend for 
apprentices, possible opportunities for cropsharing/market garden 
income exist.  However, apprentices should not apply who have ongoing 
financial needs or obligations ( student loans/car payments/medical 
bills/lifestyle expenses).

If you are interested, please email a resume with a cover letter 
detailing:  Three learning goals for your apprenticeship, a personal 
statement about your interests in organics and sustainability, and 
three work references.

We look forward to hearing from you!
