Gaea thrives because of you. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in community, connection, and care for the Earth, Gaea Retreat Center relies on the energy, skills, and generosity of volunteers to keep our sacred land vibrant and our mission alive. Every trail cleared, cabin repaired, ritual supported, and festival held happens because someone showed up and gave their time.
Right now, we need you more than ever. The heartbeat of Gaea is collective effort—and we’re at a moment where that heartbeat needs strengthening. Whether you have a few hours or a full weekend, your help directly sustains the magic of this space for everyone who calls it home.
Joining our volunteer family doesn’t just support the land—it builds bonds, teaches new skills, and brings deep fulfillment. From one-time projects to year-round stewardship, there’s a place here for your hands and your heart.
Step in. Show up. Be part of what makes Gaea possible.
At Gaea, there's no single path to helping—just a shared direction: forward, together. Whether you’re drawn to the quiet rhythm of outdoor work or the joy of welcoming guests during festivals, your time and talents matter.
Here are just a few ways you can step in:
Festival Support – From setup to tear-down, registration to parking, our events run on community effort. Show up, lend a hand, and help create unforgettable experiences.
Woodbusts & Work Weekends – Our land needs regular love: trail maintenance, cabin repairs, gardening, cleaning, and more. Come get your hands dirty and see immediate impact.
Skilled Trades & Creative Help – Got a knack for plumbing, carpentry, electrical work, or design? We always need folks with specialized skills who want to make a lasting contribution.
Behind-the-Scenes Heroes – Prefer spreadsheets to shovels? We need help with admin tasks, communications, grant writing, and year-round planning.
Ongoing Stewardship – Join or form a volunteer team to adopt a project or space on the land. Regular commitment builds real transformation.
