We are working very hard to keep this charge low and reasonable!

Community kitchen and homesteading needs are part of the tuition- gathering the items is part of your training as well-to learn to be PART of something and contribute to the greater good!

Imagine we are setting up a fully functioning village for the seasons you are here... part of our school is to teach ones the OLDE ways of Village life and living OFF GRID!

Group needs- group / Village needs always come 1st in this system- a druidic practioner is a servant for their community!

Weekdays we will have breakfast as a group,you will be packing a lunch from the lunch items our Kitchen Magicians will set out at Breakfast tinme- we will spend much of the day in the forrest-rain or shine ..  and occasionally we will have group evening meals together- most always with a pot of energy infused vegetable soup going , homemade bread and desserts , herb tea  available!
