Lightwork Life

Lightwork Life Episode #1 - The Wood Pile and Ventilation Fan

The first full length Lightwork Life episode! This episode includes some re-organization of our wood pile, moving our usable wood to a new location and categorizing it into different types of wood. The ventilation fan is a new instillation at Hawk House to reduce the propane in the cabin coming off the stove. Comes complete with a new shelf!

Lightwork Life Episode #2 - Clipping Back the Road

This episode includes a completion of our ventilation system, road maintenance and snow! The ventilation fan is almost done, and this week Scott and Krista are building a shelf above it. In our temperate rain forest climate, clipping back the trees and bushes is a regular road maintenance job. Julia leads a crew of ecovillagers all down the road, making sure there's enough space for vehicles to drive.

Lightwork Life Episode #3 - Construction and Eddie

We start this episode off carrying our water up the hill. This is no small feat! Our water supply is still coming from the city. We also work some more on the roof construction of the cob building. Eddie (one of our on-site trucks) needs some charging, so Scott and Keith boost the batteries. We finish off with some more construction.

Lightwork Life Episode #4 - Easter and Putting in the Post

This episode encompasses two weekends at the ecovillage. Our annual easter hunt was awesome as always! We searched for chocolate eggs, but also for haiku's about cherry blossoms. Our next big project at the ecovillage is one of the last posts at the cob house. This post is very functional, but also artistic.

Lightwork Life Episode #5 - The Prune Tree and Water Supply

We're planting fruit trees in the Ecovillage orchard, and making sure they will stay well watered and protected while we're gone. Our water supply needs to run from the well on our land to the reservoir, which is rather far away. This task requires a pump ready for work! Once at the reservoir, the water is gravity fed to the village.

Lightwork Life Episode #6 - Organization & Road Construction

The wood pile needs a new home, and Darsi and Cloe take on the task of moving and sorting it. Tiffany takes a mattock and works on clearing a space under Hawk House for a future bathtub. The group spends some time this week, as we have for the last couple, working on the road, and preparing it for the wetter, rainy days.

Lightwork Life Episode #7 - Demolition

Our friends at Camp Fircom are tearing down some buildings, and suggested we could use some materials for the Ecovillage! We focus on getting the windows and usable wood, since windows are very hard to transport, and wood is always useable. The ecovillagers try to live lightly on the land, and re-using all of these great materials fits right in.

The first season of Lightwork Life is complete! Lightwork Life is a Lightwork Productions project to make the Ecovillage more visible on the planet. The videos are about 5 minutes long. Enjoy!
