JOIN US FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS’ WEEK

📅 NOVEMBER 16th to NOVEMBER 23rd 2025

🏡 AT THE LAVRA, ARROYO GRANDE

We are looking for motivated people from all over the word to join our traditional Thanksgiving Volunteers’ week at the Lavra. We will host you and provide food in exchange for 5 hours of work in the morning. We’ll work on different projects around the farm and the gardens in the morning. In the afternoon, we organize workshops to teach you new skills (acorn flour making, bread making, blockprinting, etc) and hikes to show you the beautiful coastal region we live in. In the evenings we do dinners, games, music, bonfires, movies, etc. We’ll also celebrate an early Thanksgiving with a Friendsgiving potluck inviting all our neighbors and friends to join.
