Want to get involved?
We are a community of human beings, here to support the vision that keeps unfolding.
Mark and Jewels are guardians of the land and spaces and hold the financial responsibility to keep the project thriving and surviving. They work 7 days a week most often but even with this there is more that needs to doing that 2 people can manage. EarthHeart is not am profit based project and only works with the support of the volunteering program which is the bedrock of the project.
We deeply value and appreciate people who feel inspired to come and be a part of the project that’s purpose is to create a better world and people who wish to partake in more meaningful work that support a better world for all. It is suitable for people who are looking for a more community based, outdoor living experience. We welcome all people no matter how you identify and what colour of skin you are.
We offer mentoring and sharing circle work as part of our support to volunteers as well as you being able to follow your own creative projects while you are here.
We ask for a 6 month minimum commitment and this has become the agreement after nearly 10 years of experimentation and feedback from the volunteers. A wish to make a home and feel settled and to have enough time to develop connections and build relationships.
This also means that you have more opportunity to take ownership of projects and have more responsibility and agency while you are here.
Next steps …..
We ask that you first read our volunteers handbook which answers most of the initial questions you are likely to have about how it all works and it gives a comprehensive outline of how we work things here. Please read this before getting in touch.

If after reading the handbook you are happy with the framework and you are interested in getting involved you can apply to volunteer.

If you’re not sure and want to meet us first and experience what we do and visit the land and meet us, we run Open Hearth weekends twice a year.
