Retreat Internship Questionnaire

Please tell us about you.

  • Given times zones, our schedules and the variable quality of our phone lines, our preferred method of communication is via email.
  • Please also provide a phone number to reach you at in case of email failures (or in case you are not checking emails for a while)
  • We ask for a minimum commitment of two weeks.


  • Please indicate if you have skills in any of the following areas below.
  • This will help us to know how we're reaching people. (If your initial contact with us was via WWOOF or a similar site, we will accept/decline through that site.)
  • We'd love to hear more about where and what was your experience of it.


  • Other Information

    Vital stats, employment, education, restrictions, interests.
  • MM slash DD slash YYYY
  • Please include your major field of study if you have a college degree.

  • Please include a resumé along with names and contact information for three references (at least two work or study related).
  • Max. file size: 100 MB.
    For example, are you vegan or vegetarian, or do you have any food allergies? This is very important information. Because of our remote location we plan our meals weeks in advance, and cannot pop on over to the store to make adjustments. Our omnivore diet focuses on whole and hearty organic foods.
  • For example, if you are vegan or vegetarian what does that mean for you specifically?
    Year-round our interns live outdoors in tents.

Using this Site

Engage and Explore. To get a taste of variety of the scope and breadth of what we do and the teachings we offer, look under the Teachings menu. Our collections of articles and quotes offer a little bit of everything, ranging from hearty to heady, soothing to stingers, clarifying to perhaps confusing at first, brief to lengthy. If you want to get involved in some way look under the Take Part menu. This section is all about things you can do. You can take a class, volunteer, learn about internships, make a donation, and so on. If you want to learn more about who we are and our learning centers, look under Meet Us. If you are enrolled in an online course, you can access it through the My Courses menu at the far top right.

Are You Living your Potential?

What are we essentially? What are the challenges we face in this existential world? You are made in the image of God. That is incredibly true, but does that have any relevance in how you live your life? Does that raise your level? It is a nice thing to know, but knowing that you have that potential in you is not the same as living and breathing it.

Contact Us

You can email us at contact@teachingsofvalue.org. Please understand that we are a modest endeavor staffed entirely by busy volunteers and largely funded by donations. Additionally, we live in a remote location with limited bandwidth. (Really, in this day and age, there still is such a thing as limited bandwidth where streaming data is a bad idea.) This means it may take us a while to respond to your query, but we will get back to you.   logo-nicer-2014-2.png
