Training as you work
Each volunteer participates in a weekly half-day seminar on subjects that are related to and support their work with the village residents, such as art and anthroposophy. The seminar enables them to better understand and become familiar with our special way of life. Each volunteer can shoose to join the seminar. In addition there is a possibility to join the choir and other artistic activities.
Healthy lifestyle
The village strives for a healthy way of life in multiple areas. The food served in the village is nutritious, varied, high quality, and as often as possible organically grown. Some of it comes from our own biodynamic crops. We use ecologically safe cleaning materials and recycle as much as possible. We live in a quiet rural environment that is blossoming with plants, trees, and flowers. We have connections with the animals that live with us and around us. We encourage physical activity and nature walks. Overall, we strive to maintain a clear, calm mindset.
Social Time
We provide volunteers with a communal staff room with internet service, a sports field, and access to the pool at the nearby Country Club. The volunteer staff is made up of Israelis who are completing a year of national service, alternative national service, post-military work service, and other types of volunteer work as well as young volunteers from Europe.
