Volunteer Quotes & Volunteer Blogs
This page is an invitation to submit your volunteer quotes and volunteer blogs.
Although the purpose of this page is primarily a place for potential and existing volunteers to The Sanctuary Holistic Healing Retreat Center to start a blog, you are also invited to submit an entry a a volunteer from other retreat centres, communities, farms and Wwoof places.
The Sanctuary started receiving volunteers at our original premises back in November of 2012. Since that time until now (September 2013) we have probably had at least fifty volunteers come and go, some staying just for one day and some for three months or more.
|
We are learning from everyone who visits us and constantly improving both ourselves, and what we offer both to volunteers and guests. This page is a place to help us improve further, by sharing your experiences, making suggestions and telling others; both potential guests and volunteers, what they might expect from a visit to The Sanctuary. Our intention is to allow all volunteer quotes, volunteer blogs, and volunteer comments to immediately go live without approval. So what you see here should be the raw truth, warts and all! So, please share
in the space provided in the "volunteer quotes" form below, about your
intention to volunteer at The Sanctuary, your actual experience of
volunteering at The Sanctuary, or even elsewhere. |
The information you submit will be turned into a web-page like this one, which readers can add comments to, and/or ask questions of you. Your web page will have a unique address on this Healing Haven website, which you can share on Facebook, Twitter or via e-mail with friends and family.
You
could even choose to (and we ask our volunteers to) use the page you
create here as your own blog, adding further comments at the
bottom of the page every day, every week, or whenever you have something
further to add.
Your new page will be indexed by the search
engines which will enable people who are searching for the information
you are offering, to find it more easily. This whole process is easy.
Just write your information in the form below and the rest is automatic.
