Join us at Green Earth Awakening - Kitchen Crew- Set up and Take Down

We have 2 crews to feed people at Green Earth Awakening.....

Setup & Take Down Crew + Event Crew Teams. This is an application to join the Setup & Take Down Crew.

Setup & Take Down Crew

During set up and tat down, the kitchen team feeds all crew onsite. You'll be part of a team of 12 that chops veg, washes pots, serves and cooks food. Jobs are rotated throughout. All the food is vegan, organic (where possible), and wheat-free (unless stated).

We will be working together to share daily tasks involved in setting up the kitchen and feeding the crew. There will be space for a morning check-in.

To volunteer, you need to be prepared to adhere to our guidelines.

As well as kitchen tasks, there is also space for Dharma study, meditation, ritual, fireside sitting and singing and games. Each day we will have a group check-in to start the morning. We grow and build a team over the days, through working and living together, contributing not just to the practical side of building an event, but to creating the Buddhafield community for everyone.

We ask that you come and be with us Monday, 31st August - Saturday 19th September with your full camping kit or live-in vehicle, and bring your energy, generosity, skills, physical labour and your brightness.

Please plan to arrive in the afternoon of Monday, 31st August for kitchen induction at 2pm and also to set up your sleeping area and meet people as we will be cooking a simple meal in the evening.

As well as kitchen tasks, you’ll be able to take advantage of all the festival has to offer, from yoga, to dance, to singing, to sitting around the fire, to listening to dharma talks and taking part in rituals.

By volunteering with Green Earth Awakening you’re becoming part of the community, and as well as contributing practically to the smooth running of the gathering, you’re also helping create the warm generous space that GEA is known for.

In return you will receive:

  • A Camp ticket
  • Camping pitch and/or live-in parking
  • A vehicle pass, if needed
  • The opportunity to be part of a positive, right livelihood, Buddhist-focused community
  • Three delicious vegan meals per day prepared, cooked and served with love
  • Hot drinks and snacks throughout the day during the setup and tat-down. Hot drinks throughout the event.
  • Meditation, yoga, Dharma discussions, dance, talks, fun & games, fires, stories, songs and community

Key Dates

  • Arrival on Site: Monday, 31st August
  • First Day of Work: Afternoon/evening of Monday, 31st August
  • Event dates: Wednesday, 9th September to Sunday 13th September (You will have the event off!)

Applications for this crew will close August 15th.

Please wait to hear from us. We will let you know either way whether you have been successful or not.

If we get a large number of applications, we may close early, so please apply as soon as you can.

 

**Please ensure that you can make all of the dates and are committed to joining us for the event. Let us know ASAP if you are offered a place and can no longer attend. When people do not turn up for the role they have been offered, it puts a huge strain on the team and affects everyone's experience, so we appreciate your awareness of this. Please let your 'yes' mean 'yes, definitely, I will be there'. Thank you 🙏**
