We are currently raising money to get our curriculum published!

We are looking to raise $5000 to get our Spirit & Soil Internship Curriculum ready to print. The money will go towards paying an editor to layout all 12 weeks of the manuscript in the correct format, add illustrations, and help us arrange the photography. Below are some screenshots of Week 1 to help you get a feel for what the 12 week curriculum will look and feel like!

Internship Information:

The Spiritual portion of the internship aims to re-establish the intern’s connection with God and his/herself, grow the intern in intimacy with the Father and identity as a Son, and equip the intern in the Spiritual Gifts, hearing God’s voice in his/her life and ministering to others in the ways of Jesus. The basis of the Spiritual portion of the internship is set in the divine purposes and design that God established in the beginning for man: to be connected to Him and the Earth man was created from, operating in God’s wisdom and likeness in honoring and holding dominion. The Spiritual aspects of the internship will be colored with intimate time alone with the Lord while receiving focused mentorship and support. It will consist of time spent in worship, meditation, and readings, as well as time spent counseled in activations, prayer, and ministering. The intern will work through various books and chapters in the Word alongside specific books and excerpts focused on intimacy with the father, connecting with God through creation, and God’s biblical purposes for man in nature and farming. The intern will also practice rich solitude in an “unplugged” rural atmosphere. He/She will also be provided with a nourishing and clean diet thus experiencing the spiritual affects of a body sustained much of the way God intended.

The Farming portion of the internship aims to equip the intern to master small operations in growing beef cattle, pigs, laying and broiler hens, sheep, dairy cows, and trout as well as seasonal vegetable operations and small orchard management. The intern will learn animal husbandry, pasture management and rotational grazing, animal health management, finishing, and butchering. In market garden operations the intern will learn seeding, transplanting, weed management, and harvesting. Additionally, he/she will gain experience in the traditional preparation of food and value added products such as bread making; raw butter, yogurt, and cheese making; bone broth and stock; and canning; and seed saving. The intern will be able to learn in excess through farm visits to nearby small farms and through teachings by other farmers with various expertise. By helping with events and farm dinners the intern will gain insight in event planning and orchestrating, cooking, and hosting shared farm-to-table experiences. The intern will leave with valuable and tangible knowledge and understanding in small farm operation from start to finish so that they are able to begin and grow in their own farming endeavors successfully.
