WWOOFING AT ANARRES APOTHECARY AND GARDEN
If you are interested in medical herbalism & aromatherapy, please consider WWOOFing with us.
Especially welcome are queer folk, and people with children.
We have an organic garden built from worm compost with fruit trees and berries.
The stone path is laid out like a twisting path Tarot reading and underneath the stones are runes.
We hope to start a rooftop bee hive this summer.
We are exploring cooking with a parabolic solar cooker this summer, too.
A block away is Anarres Apothecary, my aromatherapy shop, treatment centre and school.
I teach people from all over the world how to make safe affordable traditional medicines and body care products from natural, fairly traded and local organic ingredients. The apothecary is open Tuesdays through Saturdays noon to 7pm.
You will be invited to help in the garden in the morning and help out in the apothecary in the aftenoon or evening. You will be encouraged to take all of the workshops and classes Monday evenings and Fridays, for which you will earn certificates. If you would like to be insured as an aromatherapist in Canada, you can earn this 60 hour training certificate with me while WWOOFing.
You will have Sundays and Mondays off, but are welcome to join us as we travel to festivals (ex OM, SpiritFest), gatherings and local communities on the weekends. We are friends with Morning Glory and Dragonfly Farms. This is an urban opportunity, with connections to activism, suistainability and educational community efforts. If the city is too much sometimes, we can show you how to take a ferry to idyllic Toronto Islands where a family member can take you sailing, or you can find yourself a secret beach.
We are extra excited to host you if:
* You can help us practice our Spanish or French
* You have children under 10 years old with you.
* You know something about setting up a bee hive!
* You enjoy helping out at festivals, fairs and farmer's markets.
* You have a driver's license. We don't, but I can rent a car...
In short, this is a great fit for you if you want:
* an urban experience filled with coops, activism and community fairs
* intensive gardening versus commercial farming
* to learn about essential oils, extracts and other natural botanicals
* to learn about cosmetic making and green business practices
* to learn aromatherapy and traditional medicine, plus natural contraception and alternatives to petroleum
* to improve your English through experirence with us and at the apothecary
