The Internship Experience

  • Living in Community

    Join us for a 3-month immersive internship experience and build lasting friendships with other caring, compassionate, and dedicated individuals. You will have a chance to participate in educational offerings and join community meetings so you can learn about our decision-making processes. Together we will cultivate the knowledge, skills and experience to help you successfully navigate community living while contributing to the creation of a socially and ecologically regenerative future.

  • Useful marketable skills

    Learn valuable interpersonal social skills as well as practical hands-on experience in your chosen circle that will serve you for the rest of your life. Many of our prior interns have gained clarity on their calling as a result of their internship.


  • Immersion in Nature

    Let the beauty of our 87-acre nature sanctuary nurture your body and soul as you wander through the woods, dip in the creek, or bathe in the sun during the day. Join us for saunas, song circles around the fire, and stargazing at night. We love living here together and are excited to welcome interested learners into our community for a 3-months internship.
