      What is a work party?

      -A work party is a day spent on the Ecovillage land working on a specific project or projects e.g. gardening, building structures, implementing a design.
      -We enjoy lunch looking at the beautiful view.
      -These are fun events where we get work done at the same time.
      -For each hour spent working at the ecovillage (after 1 karma service hour) you can earn ecovillage credits that can go towards a share.
       
      Joining in on a work party will mean you will be taking a boat to the Ecovillage.  The water taxi, our current transportation to the Ecovillage is $50 return (12 trips pass card $250). 
      Work 4 hours (for adults) and 2 hours (for kids) at the Ecovillage and your water taxi fee will be credited towards a Lightwork Ecovillage share. 

      How do I get involved in work parties?

      -We go out most weekends.  Either for a day or camping overnight.  Email or call Lightwork and let us know that you are interested in coming out to a Work Party.
       
      How do I take a Meditation Class?
       
      -As we are an intentional community based on a shared spiritual practice you may like to take a meditation class to make sure this spiritual practice is a good fit for you.  A list of introduction and Level 1 classes are found here.
       
      What can I donate? 
       
      -It takes a community to build a community.  Donations of time, knowledge and resources are greatly appreciated.  Let us know if you have something you would like to donate or see the wish list

      How do I become a monthly sustaining supporter?
