Farm/Land Hand for the Wolvenwold Sanctuary

Duties

You may not have to do all of these things, but need to be able to do most of them, as a handyman.

Carpentry, repair (appliance, and all sorts), general errands, light farm/animal care (chickens, horses, cats, turkeys, birds), forestry (even a little knowledge would help), vehicle repair, gardening, cleaning, hauling, (a truck would help, though we do have a trailer for larger jobs) wood chopping, odd jobs, recycling, trash pickup, hauling and disposal, lifting, emptying compost buckets, backhoe and roadwork, and an open-mindedness toward (and/or thirst for!) learning about Earth building.

Qualities we are seeking

We are seeking someone who is trustworthy, physically capable of doing these chores, and has a good background.

Ideally

Ideally, of course, we would find someone who is available all the time, anytime, and might even end up as a temp land resident one day, though we are very selective about whom we have living on our land at any given time.  If this is not possible, then we would love to find someone who lives near by, has good reliable transportation, and who just needs some side work doing odd jobs.  We have had to rely on farm hands here over the last few months, and have had a couple of really great helpers out here, but they have come and gone, and we need someone who will possibly be around for a while.

Benefits

Pay: about $8 hour... (Preferred at first)

Or (Other possible compensations in lieu of monetary pay)...

Room/Board/Food (On a temporary/trial basis, only for just the right person, and we would be very strict in our choosing of this kind of land resident)

Massage/Reiki treatments

Staff for the Wolvenwold Festivals

Duties

We are no longer looking to fill any one particular festival related staff position.  Instead, we are now seeking staff folk who can do a number of General Staff Duties to include any/and/or/all of the following (and you may be asked to do any of these at any time): Gofering, town runs, running basic errands, registration, selling raffle tickets, heralding, toilet maintenance, dumping compost buckets, lifting, hauling, transporting, host/hostessing, helping/assisting, site lighting and tiki refilling, path mowing/maintenance/clearing, fire tending, wood duties, website design and maintenance (talk to Beltana specifically about this please), special guest handling, flyer/promotions, raffle mc-ing, safety/security, concert security/mc-ing, AND ESPECI ALLY TRASH PICKUP, RE CYCLING, and SITE CLEANUP BEFORE AND AFTER FESTIVALS.  We need folks who can be here before the event begins, and can stay until after the last piece of trash is picked up.  This is of utter importance this year, of all years, and we need to manifest these very essential people to help us, this year, if we are going to be able to continue to do festivals next year. 

Qualities we are seeking

You do not have to see exactly what we see, and you do not have to believe what we believe, or dream the same dreams we dream. However, we do need to surround ourselves with people who are like minded, who wish to at least be a part of a vision and dream, one that is larger than ourselves, where we can come together to begin to heal the troubles that we have on this Earth as a species.  We compost everything we possibly can, and we recycle everything we possibly can.  We do not throw our cigarette butts on the ground, and we have a healthy reverence for Nature, for we realize that we are very much a part of Her, and She of Us.  We strive to live harmoniously with Her, and with one another, realizing that We are all are part of the same entity, spiritually.  We read and continue to learn more and more about indigenous species and plants, and how to make sure they continue to feel at home here.  We hunt, we grow, and we build around, atop and within a reverence for the land itself.  We are in the process of learning ALL about Earth home building, (cob/straw bale, etc.) and sharing that work through seminars and workshops, humanure composting (to keep the cycle from being broken, ultimately), gardening and growing our own food, and self-sufficiency.  We love to teach as well as learn, and we teach art, and share music, story and song. We honor one another, speak well of one another, and strive to ever honor the God and Goddess within each of us.

Ideally

We know who we are seeking, and you know who you are.  You will know if this appeals to you, and if this is something that you wish to be a part of.  It can be hard work, but it is usually a whole lot of fun, and can be very rewarding and gratifying, in ways that you might not have anticipated it would be. ;-)  Please make sure you are prepared for the physical challenges that this job might present, and be prepared to do some heavy lifting, so to speak.  Be fit enough to do the work, and if you cannot do it, please feel free (and honored) to come as a festival participant, instead.  It takes various amounts of each of us to make this kind of festival atmosphere work, and perhaps you are not cut out for the rigors of staff duties.  If you have other talents to offer the gathering, let us know!  In any case, if you think you would like to try for staff, please do not hesitate to contact us. We DO need you!!!

I repeat:  We need folks who can be here before the event begins, and can stay until after the last piece of trash is picked up.  This POST-Fest CLEANUP is of utter importance this year, of all years, and we need to manifest these people to help us, this year, if we are going to be able to continue to do festivals next year. 

If we cannot find these people this year to help us, this will be our last year doing festivals on this land.

Benefits

Free entry to the Wolvenwold events (on an event-by-event basis depending upon possible, eventual year-and-a-day acceptance as a full-time staff member); networking, fellowship, socializing, and meeting new friends, of course, but the core, most significant benefit of working this kind of sacred job is the benefit that only you can appreciate when you are, at last, able to comprehend it for yourself. ;-)

If you can volunteer to be a part of the setup/tear down/cleanup crew this year, we will offer you NOT ONLY one free entry for yourself, but also one free entry for one additional  adult into the festival that you will be working.  We will be seeking to fill FOUR of these site cleanup positions this year.  Your invited other does not even have to work on the cleanup crew, if they do not wish to do so.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Fran, Beltana, Béla, and the staff and stewards of Wolvenwold and Spellsinger
