I stayed 1 week as a volunteer at Kalart. As others have mentioned in the comments, the location is amazing right next to a national park with hiking trails starting just outside the door. The community is great as it's a mix of long term residents and new people who stay short term as guests. So, there's a variety of points of view and life experiences. My experience as volunteer was short due to the organization needing someone with skills I don't have quite developed. The tasks for the first day of volunteer work included: fixing the gas flow of a stove by replacing the gas valves, building a little wooden stool, chopping enough wood to fill a woodshack under a staircase, fixing another woodshack where the wood was kept in the back, moving some other wood to a different location and tuning up the lighting of the cowork place. It took me most week to complete half the tasks and I needed guidance. So, I recommend for new volunteers to have sharp skills if coming here and be up to speed. As an example of the expectations, I was told I should be able to build a little wooden stool in 15 minutes. It's doable for experienced people I guess. Something to point out is that cleaning is done by everyone who lives in the house (bathrooms included). There's no external cleaning person or crew for cleaning, as far as I know. So, this can be both an exercise of self-sustainability for some people, or an anoying activity for others. Overall, it's a great place to experience a rural coliving that hosts an organic community. It's no utopia but it's real and self-managed, with the limitations that it involves.
