Kia Ora

We have recently shifted to our new land, and we have begun the process of setting up a Community Land Trust. Over the next few months we will be specifically looking for apprentices with certain skills. Creating a CLT & all that goes with it, implementing our institute's education center will be our focus over the next few years.

We have two positions available at present - A Building Apprenticeship and an Apprentice Garden Manager. These will be important roles within the Institute, please click titles at end of page for role descriptions.

Apprenticeships

Apprenticeship programs are for those with a long-term commitment to a vocation in their field of interest. Each program will be individualized and include working with us as well as mentoring with us and others. The program will include a deep commitment to living simply within the permaculture paradigm.

Interns

Internships offer the opportunity for people to come and 'absorb' the essence of our work and philosophy while they support the work of the Institute in a practical way.

We grow or wild harvest most of our own food, and we strongly follow the principles espoused by the Weston A Price Foundation ( westonaprice.org ) This will be a significant part of your learning.

Here is some feedback from our previous Interns/apprentices.
