Meet the Team

Living at High Spirit as a staff person is an unconventional lifestyle choice and has many unique advantages that a traditional work environment cannot provide. Your job is to develop meaningful relationships, provide individualized care, and to put your passions to work in ways that encourage a healthy community. You can be fairly creative about how you do all those things. It might include lots of cooking, if that’s what you love, or leading garden crews, or outdoor recreation, or crafts, woodworking, homemaking, music, event planning or so many other things. Managing your life in a community will improve your communication skills and will have you searching for self-insight that you may never have contemplated before. You will grow as a person. 

This work will keep you busy – too busy. As you may know from caring for anything be it pets, plants or people, you always have the feeling that you can do more. So working at High Spirit requires a strong sense of balance, humility, humor, and acceptance of others. We think that this way of life is valuable for anyone to experience. Perhaps if everyone spent a few years working and living in this model, the world would be a better place.
