First Position:
WORK-TRADE POSITION AVAILABLE AT BIODYNAMIC FARM NEAR BODEGA
We are at the beginning stages of creating a Biodynamic educational farm serving a local Waldorf School community. We are seeking an individual or couple to do work trade (part time) in exchange for trailer housing on our beautiful, rural 80-acre ranch, for a minimum of one year (or more). Other amenities include harvesting from our Biodynamic garden and use of a shared outdoor kitchen, wood fired oven and our large barn.
The property has a secluded feel yet is 15 minutes from Sebastopol. Our ranch includes open meadows, wooded hills suitable for hiking, beautiful redwood groves, creeks, springs and a pond. It is home to a small herd of dairy goat, two pigs, chickens and a guard donkey.
The main work will be milking and tending to our dairy goats. The remaining hours can be tailored to suit your skills and interests, and the farm’s needs, and could include nursery work, farm site preparation, irrigation installation, annual vegetable cultivation, carpentry, trail work, school group teaching or administrative work.
At least one season of farm work and goat milking is preferred, but a willingness to learn will suffice. Negotiable work schedule. Weekend animal husbandry shifts expected.
Please contact Willow at 707-876-1860 or willowvioletsummer@gmail.com.

CARPENTER NEEDED: TINY HOME OR TRAILER SPACE AVAILABLE AT BEAUTIFUL, RURAL PROPERTY FOR WORK TRADE AND PAID HOURS
We are building a new Biodynamic vegetable farm on an 80 acre ranch between Freestone and Bodega in West Sonoma County, California. We have space for your tiny home or trailer, or one we purchase, in exchange for carpentry work, mostly updating and constructing accessory sheds and buildings and barns, and constructing decks, bridges, pathway steps, etc. We are looking for someone with an artistic eye and design/build skills for small projects, who would be interested in incorporating salvaged redwood and other materials taken from structures on site, as well as purchased materials.
The tiny home or trailer spot is supplied with electricity and water, next to our barn. There is no private yard, but full use of 80 acres of meadows and forest, as well as our shared outdoor kitchen and veggie garden. Minimum 1 year commitment.
We are a community of three families and two farm workers, with common values based in Steiner’s work in Spiritual Science, Biodynamic Agriculture and Waldorf Education. We currently host school group visits with children throughout the school year, and are building a new CSA program.

Heartwood Educational Collaborative
Seeking Part-Time Fourth Grade In-Class Education Coordinator at Nature-Based Waldorf Collaborative Classroom – Posted 7/23/18
https://heartwoodcollaborative.org
Come spend time with our small and sweet class on a gorgeous campus in Fairfax, CA!
Heartwood Collaborative Fourth Grade, an independent collaborative group of families pursuing nature-based Waldorf, is looking for a part-time education coordinator to hold the class for 2.5 hours a day, four days a week (Monday through Thursday). Heartwood Collaborative Fourth Grade is operating on the beautiful Bothin Campus which is rented by the Heartwood Educational Collaborative Fund, a nonprofit. Our campus is nestled on the edge of West Marin in a small valley surrounded by 150 acres of wooded hills, trails, waterfalls and seasonal creeks. Our initiative is sustained by innovative pioneers and warm-hearted, dedicated parents and teachers. We, the members of this educational community, are courageous, enthusiastic, bold, kind and a bit wild at heart. We believe there should be no limits on access to education. Education should be based in child development and involve a living connection with both the arts and nature.
We are looking for a compassionate, inspiring, and attentive education coordinator to hold the class as the children move through their afternoon activities. We have a Fourth Grade main lesson teacher who will work with the children through 12:30. After 12:30, we need someone to be responsible for the children during lunch and as they move through specialties classes, always available for the kids. The priority of the education coordinator is to attend to the children’s socio-emotional and physical needs — from settling an argument between two students, to caring for a sick child and arranging for parent pick-up of the child, to holding the class through an art period or another subject of the education coordinator’s choice when a specialties teacher is sick or running late.
This role can expand (for example, more hours a day) or contract (for example, for just 3 days a week) for the right person. We would also love to have an education coordinator that would like to offer a specialties or practice period once a week, if you have the interest — not required. Otherwise, this position would require no teaching and very minimal prep time. We would like the education coordinator to check in regularly (perhaps at lunch) with the Fourth Grade Teacher who is providing main lesson before lunch, and the education coordinator would need to be available to talk with parents as needed. This schedule is currently in draft form as we finalize details and find the right education coordinator to hold the class for the latter half of the day. We ask that the education coordinator become a vendor of a local homeschool charter so that we can pay for all or some of your services through the charter funds. We can assist you in getting that done.
Here are some of the amazing aspects of this job:
Gorgeous nature campus with seasonal spring, oaks and bays, great places for hiking and enjoying the outdoors, and the class is in a yurt!
Very small class size, with really loving, respectful and in-tune students who have been together for years and have been held in a lovely way that we wish to continue.
Highly motivated parents who want to support you to succeed.
Here is what we hope you will bring:
A positive, warm, welcoming, and motivating spirit.
Ability and interest in nurturing the physical, emotional, and social health of each child.
Knowledge of Waldorf approach to rhythm, discipline, classroom management.
Knowledge of the 9-year-change and 4th grade social and emotional needs.
Experience in a classroom setting, preferably Waldorf.
Interest in working in a setting of cooperative learning, wherein each class works independently and with a lot of support and input from parents.
Position is hourly, 10 hours a week, and runs from Labor Day through Memorial Day, with several vacation weeks. We hope to find a candidate very quickly. Please email a letter of interest and your resume to Claire at sedaclaire@gmail.com or call 530-715-0846.
