Serving Mother Earth
What You Can Do
It takes a lot to keep a piece of land such as Annwfn going, let alone to make worthwhile improvements. There is no "man behind the curtain" here; it is up to all of us who care about Annwfn to join in and create!
Volunteering is essential to Annwfn's continued survival and maintenance. If you have a few hours, days or weeks to contribute, check with the Annwfn Management Council (via email) as to what needs doing at any given time. For some tasks (especially if marked *) you might need to ask them for specific details.
If you only get a couple of weeks vacation per year, consider coming to Annwfn for part of it. Get that great feeling of helping maintain your Sanctuary while getting a some really healthy exercise, delightful tranquility and spiritual renewal.
