SPIRITUAL WORK-EXCHANGE

Welcome to our off-grid, Water-World sanctuary! This is Barge Force One, located just one hour north of Sydney. Here, heartfelt sharing and mutual exchange shape our journey together as we work, play, and enjoy the journey, shaping this place into a paradise for all who come after us.

 

The Barge has already been 15 years a gathering place for like-minded travelers seeking self-exploration, self-sufficiency, and a deeper connection to what truly matters in life. We embrace creativity, share experiences, spirituality, and cultivate empathy and compassion. We look for crew members who appreciate and respect this sacred space, believing it belongs to all of us to enjoy.

Curious about joining our community through work-exchange? Learn more on our Work-Exchange page. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
