Dada Jitendrananda
Our project is 90 acres of bush and fields in upland granite country near Stanthrope. Our community has about 13 members, some families, some single. The project was started in the mid 1970s by families and yoga monks intent on a lifestyle of all round wellbeing – physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, community, environmental. This is still the ethos. Since our foundation almost 50 years ago, farming here has been organic and chemical free. At various times we have had certification, including Bio-dynamic.

Now, myself. I’m Dada Jitendrananda, a monk in the yoga tradition, and I look after the project. I love having wwoofers for the energy, help, good vibes, cultural richness and festivity they bring. I organise regular 2 week long working bee / meditation & yoga retreats that are great events of fun and development.

Why I became a WWOOF Host

I value the exchange and the timeliness. I can offer guidance in meditation & yoga and an organic farm project that is in development. I find that many people are traveling the world volunteering with communities to learn how to live in accordance with their values. The two way exchange of wwoofing heightens the experience for all participants and offers a sampling of what life could be like.

Organic/Biological methods we use
