        BECOME A CO-CREATOR OF CHUCKLEBERRY

      • Chuckleberry Community Farm is welcoming edgeworkers and culture creatives to collaborate in the creation of a village, the birthing place of a new culture that renders Modern Culture completely obsolete. Come immerse yourself in a land-based community dedicated to the evolution of consciousness. We offer Work Exchanges and Internships.

         

        This opportunity is for you if you have lived in community before or are sincere in your interest to experience the ecstasies and pains of living and collaborating with others. Coming from a culture that prizes intellectualization, you might find yourself confronted with your own constructs and ideas around what it means to be in community. Most of us go through this discomforting process in the first weeks of arriving at Chuckleberry, which is part of why we ask you to come with the intention of staying for a whole month, no matter what happens.

         

        If you feel called to seize the opportunity to become a co-creator of Chuckleberry, consider making a long-term commitment. It takes time to create the deep relationships required for conscious collaboration. It takes time to heal and uncover your connection to Source. It takes time to create a new culture.

         

        Work exchangers come work with us and learn about growing nutrient-dense organic food using permaculture principles while also experiencing our conscious lifestyle. As a work exchanger, you have access to a large variety of organic ingredients, beautiful communal accommodations, and many workshops to empower your transformational journey and self-expansion.

         

        Whether you come as part of our Work Exchange program, or with the intention of being an Intern, Chuckleberry offers the opportunity to:

        • deeply heal and nourish your Being;

        • let go of old survival strategies;

        • practice heartfelt and authentic communication;

        • confront and own your shadows;

        • be-with others dedicated to their path;

        • learn to consciously feel all of what is passing through you;

        • experiment with completely new ways of living, being, doing, relating and creating;

        • go beyond the concepts and constructs that have been holding you back from delivering your unique gifts to the world.
