Haven Work Party

With Louise Amuir

March 16 - 20, 2025

Interested in supporting the Haven?

Interested in spending time outdoors doing physical work?

We have a long list of projects and are looking for some people willing to roll up their sleeves for 6 hours a day while enjoying the camaraderie of others.  When the work is done enjoy soaking in the hot tub, a dip in the ocean or watching the sunset.  Facilitated evening sessions will be provided as an opportunity to debrief, check-in and connect.

The types of work you can expect…

  • cutting back shrubbery using loppers
  • general grounds clean up of fallen branches, dead plant material, etc
  • raking debris away from buildings and from under decks
  • pressure washing

If you have specific skills such as carpentry we will find jobs that can utilize those skills – we have a long list!

Are you a photographer?  We would love to get some updated images for marketing purposes, let us know when you register.
