Good for the body is the work of the body,
good for the soul is the work of the soul, and
good for either is the work of the other.
Henry David Thoreau

Saturday and Sunday (September 4-5) – Come out for the weekend to help work on Woodhaven.  We have a variety of tasks from working on the cob wall to doing cordwood to painting and putting up window trim and soffits, depending on interest and skill level.  As a last tribute to summer we’ll be sure to have plenty of fruit popsicles and frozen grapes! To see the most recent photos, please visit http://straw-bale.blogspot.com/

Monday (September 6) – Our traditional community work day at the Retreat House, preparing wood for the winter and special “deep” cleaning projects.
