We welcome people from around the world to become part of the holistic community staying at Kalikapai Holistic Education Centre. Community participants will experience and learn about:
Sharing circles
Community organisation
Caring for the centre, such as housekeeping, maintenance, gardening etc.
Vegetarian cooking for everybody present
Collaborating with others on larger infrastructure projects
How individuals can can create and hold space for healing, growth and wholesome workshops.
During the set up and pack up periods at the beginning and the end of the season, the experience differs from the workshop season, we have smaller numbers, work harder but the daily rhythms are a bit more flexible and relaxed. .
Each day community participants are obliged to be actively involved in community work between 09:30 and 13:30 and on some days also between 18:00 and 20:00. Afternoons and one full day per week are free time. This amounts to about 25-30 hours per week.
Kalikapai offers free rides each afternoon to one of the stunning local beaches.
Everybody present at Kalikapai participates in a Rota System that is used to organise cooking and cleaning up.
Community Participants have access to the very affordable offerings by the Facilitators in residence.
First-Time Community Participants
We love the variety and fresh new energy that first-time Community Participants bring to the community.
More about being a Community Participant:
Taking care of daily and ongoing tasks:
All community participants will gather for a short meeting after breakfast about the daily and ongoing tasks that need to be taken care of. Tasks can be anything from housekeeping, tidying, gardening etc. As a Community Participants you are expected to take on a daily task for a week and may choose to switch to a different one during subsequent weeks. Additionally, you may join a team working on a larger ongoing project. Depending on your skills and interests you can also take care of other community needs such as:
Maintenance needs of the building premises/technical systems
Administrative needs
