Tai chi on the lawn
 We are a spiritual, holistic, educational Retreat Center which has been in operation for 15 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 and long-term people who want to commit to a vision of creating a Findhorn Foundation-style community and education center in Canada. We are really interested in people with Permaculture skills as well as Sociocractic skills and love meditators and yogis.
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 22 years, Angele has been publishing a regional holistic magazine for BC and AB called ISSUES for Empowerment. She also hosts the Spring Festival of Awareness in the Spring and the Wise Womens Festival in the fall at Naramata Center, BC. Visit www.issuesmagazine.net for details.
