EMPLOYMENT

Facilities Manager

We’re seeking a Facilities Manager to oversee and care for the land, buildings, and infrastructure that support the daily life of Heartwood Mountain Sanctuary. This role combines hands-on problem solving with team leadership—ensuring that systems run smoothly, spaces are well maintained, and the environment remains safe and functional for all who gather here. This is a full-time, on-site role, ideal for someone who takes pride in stewardship, works well across a wide range of tasks, and can respond to both planned projects and unexpected needs with skill and reliability.

Marketing and Social Media Support

This role is for someone who enjoys the day-to-day rhythm of creating and sharing content. As Marketing & Social Media Support, you’ll help translate the energy of Heartwood Mountain Sanctuary into posts, images, and communications that reach and engage a wider audience. This is a part-time, primarily remote role (10–15 hours per week), with occasional on-site collaboration during events. A great fit for someone who is both creative and organized, and enjoys working behind the scenes to keep content flowing.

Guest Chef

Shared meals are an essential part of the retreat experience at Heartwood—bringing people together through thoughtful, nourishing food. We invite Guest Chefs to bring their culinary voice into this collaborative environment, crafting menus for retreats and programs while working alongside our kitchen team. This is a casual, event-based role, with opportunities to step into the kitchen throughout the season as retreats and gatherings arise. For chefs who enjoy cooking with intention, seasonal ingredients, and a spirit of community, this role offers a meaningful and inspiring setting to share their craft.

Kitchen Support

At Heartwood Mountain Sanctuary, the kitchen is more than a place where meals are prepared—it’s where community gathers, creativity flows, and nourishment becomes part of the larger experience of retreat. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being part of a dynamic kitchen environment, supporting visiting chefs and events that bring together food, arts, and healing practices. This is a casual, as-needed role, supporting retreats and programs throughout the season. If you take pride in good food, teamwork, and contributing to meaningful gatherings in a beautiful mountain setting, this opportunity offers a chance to be part of something special.

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS

Artist Residencies

Our Artist Residency program has been developed to allow artists with specific goals the opportunity to utilize Heartwood as a place to focus on their objectives. We do this through project feedback and offering reduced rates for a four week stay as a Resident Artist. We accept applications on an on-going basis

HEALING ARTS PRACTITIONERS

Treatment Rooms Available for Bodyworkers

Are you a licensed and insured bodyworker interested in offering your services at Heartwood? We have three beautiful treatment rooms available for practitioners to rent at reasonable rates, providing a peaceful setting to work with clients in the heart of the sanctuary.

We are also expanding our local network of bodyworkers to support retreat guests during events and programs throughout the year. If you’re a massage therapist or bodyworker interested in offering sessions during retreats and special gatherings, we’d love to connect. Please fill out our inquiry form.

 

All are welcome

Systems of power, privilege, and oppression have traditionally created barriers for persons and groups with particular identities, ages, abilities, and histories. We pledge to do all we can to replace such barriers with ever-widening circles of solidarity and mutual respect. We strive to be an organization that truly welcomes all persons and commits to structuring community life in ways that empower and enhance everyone’s participation.
