International volunteers will be integrated into a group of 20-30 Russian volunteers and will work, eat and live all together. We will help monks in harvesting and cleaning the fields, grass cutting, preparing firewood and working in the garden. Volunteer should be ready to work hard. The work usually takes 6-7 hours a day.
In the dormitory (4-20 persons per room). Monastery provides beds with blankets, pillows etc. You should take working boots, gloves and clothes with you, raincoat and long skirts and kerchief for girls. The monastery provides ordinary (with meat) or vegetarian food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served in a monastery canteen. There is one shop on the island, so you can do shopping. There is only cold water in the dormitory; shower is available 3 times per week.
Participants will be able to see the inner life of the Orthodox monastery. If volunteers would like to ask their questions, they will be able to do this in private conversation with one of the fathers. Also they have a pleasure to go hiking along the island, see how beautiful the northern nature of Karelia is, and visit churches, many skits and the farm of the cloister, where they can taste fresh milk.
Volunteers should be patient to orthodox religion, follow dress code i for girls it is long skits, which should cover their knee, their heads should be covered by kerchief or something like this. Boys shouldn t wear T-shirts and shorts in the monastery i more details about dress code you will find in the infosheet. We can invite only volunteers with the good health conditions, because monastery is quite isolated and it is hard to get to a hospital in case of emergency.
