A deeper step into living the rhythm of JAANYMILI.
BARRWAYA is a period of full-time trial residency, where individuals or families step into shared life on the land. This includes contributing to daily rhythms, participating in agreements, and experiencing what it means to live in ongoing relationship with others.
This pathway is only available after completing GUURAY or another gathering on the land, and is entered through invitation and mutual alignment.
Duration:
1–4 moon cycles (minimum 3 moon commitment)
Living Contribution (monthly):
This contribution reflects the current reality of holding the land while renting, and supports the shared infrastructure and development of JAANYMILI.
Land access (rent): approx $20 per day
Community kitty: $40 per week per person
JAANYMILI contribution: supporting infrastructure, tools, and the ongoing holding of the space
While the land is currently rented, contributions are adjusted to meet this cost. As the land transitions into stewardship, this structure will evolve.
Food:
Food is not included in the base contribution.
Individuals or families may self-provide
Optional communal food kitty: $150 per week
(bulk purchasing, shared meals, coordinated together, this does not cover all your meals, price point is accessible to have many meals together while leaving your budget open to purchase personal faves)
The community kitty contributes to shared essentials such as animals, land care, and collective resources. There is also an abundant garden and space to grow — the more hands in the garden, the more we can reduce the cost of food and increase shared abundance.
This village breathes through our shared tending.
Each member contributes an average of 18–20 hours per week toward the thriving of the sanctuary — through work that is physical, creative, relational, or logistical.
This includes:
Food growing and harvesting
Cooking shared meals (mainly dinner)
Animal care
Maintenance, cleaning, and building
Workshop and retreat support
Family meetings
Offering your unique skills where they are needed
Before applying, we ask that you read and feel into the Code of Kinship.
This provides the foundation for how we live, relate, and grow together.
This is a living document which evolves with the community.
Contribution
3 month commitment: $4,080
Optional 4th month: + $1,360
Food is separate, with the option to join the communal food kitty.
Application and Agreement
Entry into BARRWAYA is through application and shared alignment.
If an application is not accepted, all funds are returned in full.
If a stay is shorter than the agreed duration, a fair daily rate is applied and any remaining funds are returned based on time spent and circumstances.
All contributions are held as a daily exchange for time, space, and shared living.
This way of life asks for presence and participation.
Through shared time, responsibility, and care for the land and each other, something real begins to take shape.
