What is Expected of You

A typical work week of 30-40 hours will include plenty of physical labor, moving heavy objects and brainstorming. You should have either experience in building or a strong willingness to learn. I require a committment of at least one month unless you have previous experience in earthbag construction.

As part of living at Dancing Rabbit, you will be expected to participate in a clean rotation and cook shift.

What You Will Need

You will need to bring yourself, that means transportation to and from rural Missouri. I can help in arranging transportation from the nearest train/plane/bus station - there may be a fee for transportation. Bring a good pair of work gloves, a tent, work boots, and whatever you will need for a Missouri summer. You should also have an eagerness to live in a community setting with shared facilities.
