Work-Trade at Dancing Earth

We believe in the circle of giving and receiving. For those who feel called to contribute beyond their participation, a limited number of work-trade arrangements are available — each one a meaningful act of service that directly supports the gathering and the wider Dancing Earth community.

Work-trade credit is applied toward your tuition. Options range from $100 to $500, and a few are open-ended depending on your skills. All arrangements are confirmed in writing before the program begins.
