MARKETING ASSISTANT (SOCIAL MEDIA) - VOLUNTEER ROLE DESCRIPTION

Volunteering at Ängsbacka - share your skill in presence, service and togetherness

At Ängsbacka - our membership owned center for personal development running Courses and Festivals/Conscious Camping - we live and work together. For the duration of our volunteering period we explore how it is to live a daily life centered in selfless service, presence, self-awareness & self-responsibility, relating from the heart, gratitude and celebration.

We support each other and we hold a nurturing space for visiting participants, while at the same time supporting our own personal development.

When entering a ‘Skilled Volunteer’ role for the summer you temporarily become part of the working community at Ängsbacka and we encourage you to take this golden opportunity for personal transformation: to become aware of limiting beliefs, patterns and triggers and move beyond them with the support of a safe and loving environment. Ultimately, and in line with Ängsbacka’s overall vision, we hopefully come closer to the realisation of who and what we are beyond all thoughts & concepts and develop beautiful friendships along the way!
