Women in Community Sustainable Living Internship

Windward Education and Research CenterWahkiacus, WA
"The restoration of vibrant, fierce communities of women across the globe would eradicate much of the worlds injustice almost overnight." --Christiane Pelmas, MSW, www.therewilding.com The foundation for resilient, equitable culture is laid when women create alliances with one another and form mutually supportive circles that protect the long-term welfare of the community, and that inspire and require integrity and character first in themselves, and then by their example in the other members of their community. The Windward Center's Women in Community Sustainability Living Internship is a 3 month, full immersion experience intended to develop the baseline of skills needed for young women to play a key role in creating and maintaining thriving, sustainable community. This internship will involve: 1.) The study of historical and modern examples of matrilocal cultures. 2.) On-going dialogue about the impact of patriarchal and consumer cultures on female sexuality and empowerment. 3.) The experience of daily living in a small, land-based community with ample opportunity for putting theory into practice. Participants will be exposed to conceptual frameworks, practical techniques, and living examples of ways to maintain ecologically sustainable community. As a part of the curriculum, interns will contribute to the daily life associated with sustainable living systems; such as watering plants, harvesting from the garden, and feeding animals. Creating sustainable culture is truly an inter-disciplinary task, requiring the integration of a variety of skills and backgrounds, interests and passions. So we encourage women from all academic background to apply. But more than academic interest, however, creating sustainable culture requires courage of heart, strength of spirit and a determination to create a better way of living. If this describes you, we look forward to hearing from you.
