Funding Needs, Skilled & Unskilled Labor

Dana from retreats and other teaching is sufficient for living and operating expenses, as well as financing the mortgage taken out to purchase the 70 acres on which Liberation Park lives.

Building projects -- such as cabin, septic system, and utilities building -- will proceed as funding for them comes in. Currently awaiting sufficient causes and conditions. We are patient.

How to Donate

Our most pressing priorities:

Multi-Use Cabin -- first major building project is well underway (project is largely funded)

Septic system -- so that the cabin can be plumbed (project is half funded)

Once the cabin is finished, we will start on a Utility Building (showers, kitchen, washing) -- probably not till summer 2011

A small utility tractor suitable for mowing paths & fields and with a front-loader for snow, manure, etc.

As we continue making the property inhabitable for retreatants and residents we hope for your skills and labor in the following areas:

carpentry (the more skilled the better)

alternative building techniques

environmental restoration

orchard restoration

grounds clean up and maintenance

alternative energy systems
