A step into ongoing living and shared responsibility within JAANYMILI.
MURRUY follows the completion of BARRWAYA, where individuals and families have lived the rhythm of the land and demonstrated alignment with the community's way of being. This stage reflects a deeper sense of belonging — contributing to the care and direction of the space over time.
Duration
9 moon cycles (following the 4-month BARRWAYA pathway)
Total pathway: 13 moons
Landholder Contribution
Supporting access to the land and paid directly to the landholder.
$140 per week, per site
JAANYMILI Contribution
Supporting the growth, development and future vision of JAANYMILI, including shared infrastructure, community spaces, resources, accessibility initiatives and the continued unfolding of the sanctuary.
Single adult household — $210 per week
Couple/Family household — $300 per week
Food may be self-managed or shared through a communal food system, organised together separately.
Contributions may be made monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or as a full nine-moon commitment.
JAANYMILI contributions made during MURRUY continue toward the BARRMARRANY (Family) pathway.
We recognise that each person's circumstances are different. While the contributions outlined above provide the foundation that supports the thriving of JAANYMILI, we remain open to conversations around alternative pathways of exchange where genuine need exists.
Our intention is to honour both accessibility and reciprocity, recognising that contribution can take many forms when approached with honesty, care and mutual agreement.
By the time MURRUY is entered, individuals and families have already become an integral part of the life and rhythms of JAANYMILI. Through shared meals, conversations, projects, celebrations and challenges, relationships have deepened and trust has been cultivated over time.
MURRUY is not about proving yourself. It is an invitation into deeper participation — recognising the gifts, care and devotion already being offered, while stepping more fully into the shared responsibility of community life.
We are grateful for those who choose to walk this path with us. The sanctuary is shaped by the presence, wisdom and contributions of each person who calls it home.
Resident Guardians contribute approximately 18–20 hours each week toward the thriving of the sanctuary. This contribution may take many forms and is guided by individual gifts, capacity and the changing needs of the community.
As those who have already completed BARRWAYA, MURRUY Guardians are invited to deepen their participation through greater contribution, leadership and shared responsibility within community life.
This may include:
Food growing and harvesting
Cooking shared meals
Animal care
Maintenance, cleaning and building
Workshop and retreat support
Family meetings and process work
Holding lead roles and areas of responsibility within the community
Mentoring and welcoming newer members
Offering your gifts where they are most needed
Participation is steady, self-responsible and transparent, with regular reflection supporting communication, balance and the continued flourishing of the community.
Entry into MURRUY arises through invitation and mutual alignment.
