Visitors are Welcome
TUI-A CULTURE EXPERIMENT... We view Tui as a microcosm of the world … love, service, conflict, navigating between individual and collective interests and finding effective ways contribute to fully and to meet needs are all part of our human dance. Tui is a forum for this experiment to unfold. At Tui we endeavour to operate through communication more than rules … we attempt to emphasize personal responsibility and invite you to be a part of this co-creation, nobody is in control and we’re all important to the journey.
Tui is a place that tends to support self- empowerment … it isn’t a place that leads you by the hand … we are all (in our flawed, divine, unique human ways) experimenting with being the change we want to see. Here are a few ways to engage in this experiment we call Tui Community: Tui Garden Group, Land Group and Orchard Educational/Work Exchange Visitor We will host up to 4 work exchange visitors, each staying a minimum of two weeks, for the period of: - 24 October 2010-5 December 2010
PLEASE NOTE: that Tui Community is closed to visitors and work exchange visitors (wwoofing) 12 December 2010 - 16 January 2011 - 17 January-21 February 2011
for educational/hands on experiences. Work is 6 hours per day, 4 days per week. Our work exchange visitors may have the opportunity to experience: · The Tui Garden. Spring preparation and summer maintenance will see us raising seedlings, incorporating crop rotation, maintenance and soil health. Also up are planting seedlings, mulching, heavy digging, fertilizing with fish manure (very smelly), turning composts and getting your hands dirty! · The Tui Orchard. Tasks-Seaweed gathering, weeding, feeding and mulching around trees. . Land Maintenance Group. These are general farm tasks; cutting grass, noxious weed control, road and track maintenance, some heavy lifting (stacking firewood, rocks and materials), painting buildings and clearing culverts. · Living in a rural community on a day-to-day basis, tasks might include cooking community meals, childcare, cleaning and an openness to experience a different lifestyle.
Please let us know your gardening and land work experience, background in Permaculture and organic growing, any community living experience and any special skills you can offer. Must have your own gear; gumboots, garden/work gloves and clothes to get dirty.
