It's quite true that many times, words are not enough to express life's experiences. What I have been living as a working guest, since I arrived at NewBold House in the second week of January (2009) is one of those experiences.

However, I dared to search for the most precise and clear words to convey what, a significant experience, "Newbold House's family" and the unique environment that surrounds it, has been for me. A transformational place, is the best description that comes to my mind to characterize NewBold House.

 My name is Christopher Raymont and I’ve been growing food organically for more than 30 years. In 2008 I was working one day each week in the Newbold Garden and now for 2009 that increases to two and a half days. After all these years I feel a very real sense of coming home to this garden and am completely inspired by the opportunity to explore the potential of this wonderful space simultaneously as a place of production and of deep healing and peace.

Hello, My name is Jeferson and my home country is Brazil. I came here as a working guest in July this year and  loved it so much that I am now part of the staff team and am responsible for  looking after the garden and the maintenance of the house. In my time here I have learned that Love is the basis of all creation, and love allows you to get in touch with all forms of life.
