This homestead is located in the Ouachita Mountains in Mount Ida, Arkansas about 35 miles west of Hot Springs. This is the quartz crystal capital of the world and there are many crystal mines in the area where you can dig for your own treasures. The Ouachita Lake and River are just a few miles away and offer many adventures. There are hiking trails, bike trails, freshwater-springs and many clear creeks in the area to enjoy also. This region has some of the cleanest and most healing water in the country. Drinking water comes from a free flowing spring in the area. I incorporate organic, permaculture and biodynamic growing principles (as much as possible). Farming activities can include all aspects of growing food as well as greenhouse activities with potted plants mostly of aloes and succulents. Other activities can include anything associated with a homestead, cutting grass, weed eating, organizing, etc. I provide a cozy private living space in a camper with a small deck, internet, electricity, a composting toilet, outdoor cold shower, separate kitchen/hangout area and yummy food for 30 hours of exchange a week. Most meals are on your own with food provided and some meals are together in my home. I welcome all diets. There is also space available for camping and an RV.
I am grateful for the communal experience, enjoy communicating about all aspects of life especially natural healing and spirituality and sharing the beauty this area has to offer. I invite positive volunteers who are mindful, self motivated, works well with others and also alone, flexible, easy going, who loves living in a positive uplifting vibe through activities with plants, the earth, art, nature, the mineral kingdom and whatever else life presents us to play with. I especially love supporting women coempowering other women!
No drama, liars, alcoholics, drugs, smokers, or thieves accepted.
I welcome children and dogs provided they don't need constant attention, are chilled and positive mannered. I have five beautiful friendly dogs who are well socialized. Besides farming some interests are art, spirituality, shamanism, natural healing, alternative construction, lapidary, and swimming time. I love nature and exploring the natural beauty of the area.
Thanks for considering volunteering and I look forward to hearing from you!
