Khula Dhamma Community is looking for a couple to look after the community house and garden for 6 months on a volunteering contract. The couple will also oversee the grounds and other vacant houses on the farm, in exchange for free lodging, experiencing community life at close hand, learning more about organic farming while living in beautiful, natural, quiet surroundings.

We’re looking for a couple, who between them can keep the community house lovingly cared for and the garden beautifully flourishing.
There is also work to be done overseeing the farm grounds in general. Ideally one of the couple would be a capable handyman; able to tackle anything from plumbing problems, to small carpentry work, to fixing this and that. One of the couple must have at least some experience in gardening and the ability to keep the garden weed-free and tidy.

We are a small group of adults developing a community farm. Meditation and “treading lightly on the Earth” make us a quiet and reflective group, although we love drumming, dancing and picnicking on the beach nearby!
Please note that we are a vegetarian community.
We are also drug, alcohol and smoking free.
There might be times when you will be alone on the farm; you need to be resourceful as well as able to cope with a quiet, tranquil, country life. It is very safe and we have never experienced any violent crime here. We have had some daytime theft though, but that is all.
It would be best if you had your own vehicle.
If you are a couple who resonate with our ethos and who might be searching for another way to live, then you are most welcome to write to us to arrange an interview.
If you are an individual who feels he/she can tackle all this alone, then you are most welcome to write to us to arrange an interview.

A “Live-in and Learn Gardening and Farming Experience” for individuals wishing to learn more about organics and Permaculture and how to reconnect with nature and share the land in a co-creative way.

Big rains for several days at our farm in South Africa. The heavy droplets turned a trickling river into a raging ocean!

Green Living East London
Visits Khula Dhamma Eco Community farm

As community members of Khula Dhamma, and members of the Green Living EL, we, Tim and Anne Wigley, were very happy to host the group’s May meeting here on the eco community farm.
Khula Dhamma is an eco community with the aim to show that living more lightly on the planet is possible. From humble beginnings it has grown over the last eight years to a core group of ten members. We are now focused more ecologically, as well as becoming a place running retreats and workshops.

A Workshop on
ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLING OPTIONS

“LIVING is LEARNING is LOVING” was run in April this year. It was Khula Dhamma’s first workshop open to a paying public!

Parents and other interested members at Khula Dhamma were searching for responsible ways to school our children in an environment which is loving and child-centred. We had reached a point where making more firm decisions around our children’s education was becoming a priority. We have eight children under the age of 8 here at the moment.
