Good for the body is the work of the body,
good for the soul is the work of the soul, and
good for either is the work of the other.
– Henry David Thoreau
Saturday and Sunday (September 4-5) – Come out for the weekend to help work on Woodhaven. We have a variety of tasks from working on the cob wall to doing cordwood to painting and putting up window trim and soffits, depending on interest and skill level. As a last tribute to summer we’ll be sure to have plenty of fruit popsicles and frozen grapes! To see the most recent photos, please visit http://straw-bale.blogspot.com/
Monday (September 6) – Our traditional community work day at the Retreat House, preparing wood for the winter and special “deep” cleaning projects.
