    May 15-17: Spring Outdoor Work Weekend

    We need your help!

    Please join us for our annual Spring Outdoor Work Weekend, Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 17. We need volunteers to help us with firewood splitting and stacking, gardening, and tidying the monastery grounds.

    Come for the day or the weekend. The generosity of your time and effort will be a great gift of support to the resident community and all who visit Birken.

    For more information or to confirm your participation in the work weekend, please email bookings@birken.ca. Let us know which work area is of most interest to you.
