Anahata is a great place to do a work exchange. Stay in a lovely private space at Anahata and eat wonderful organic food in exchange for gardening, building, permaculture projects, guest and event hosting, artistic beautification, or other work.
WORK EXCHANGE PARTICIPATION: This is a short term residency for energetic individuals interested in making a difference at Anahata while learning more about community living. A person making this exchange would live at and participate in Anahata culture in exchange for an average of 5 hours of work per day, 30 hours per week (can be condensed with two days/weekends off) or another mutually agreed upon exchange. Participant will have a focused work commitment related to permaculture, green building, events, or another special project. One or two community mentors will act as a liason and provide direction or collaboration on projects.

The meal plan usually involves making one’s own breakfast and lunch, and participating in potluck dinners and Sunday morning brunch.
