Pros

i honestly don’t think there’s a single pro to working here

Cons

the kitchen in the dining hall is absolutely disgusting. there is mold on the walls, water leaking everywhere, drains full of old food and slime. There are flies and bugs everywhere. truly appalling. the staff is another thing. most of the seasonal workers are great, but the core staff are rude, sexist, racist, etc. i did not feel safe around them and felt like i was being prejudiced against (which i was). the food also, is bad. hardly ever any protein choices and very carb heavy. it’s drowned in seed oils and lacks flavor.

Pros

Wonderful community, generally friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect setup for the modern spiritual nomad who is looking for seasonal work and would like to enjoy the many perks of sustainable, earth-centered living alongside lovely, interesting people.

Cons

Seasonal work entails no benefits and low pay, which is not always feasible. However if you can make it work, there are many other benefits such as housing, healthy meals provided, access to daily classes and attendance to one of the courses offered from the yearly catalogue if you commit to the full season.
