Permaculture community in New Zealand??

My partner and I are travelling to Auckland on November 8th from Spain and would like to spend time in a prmaculture community/farm... We are both very keen on learning more about permaculture (I have done a introductory course and we have both spent time in different farms)... And are experienced in community life... We learn fast and always try to look on the bright side of life! Until now we have both been doing social work with children, excluded people in rural areas...

We are wondering is you have any recommendations?

If it all works out, we would like to help out with the different needs you may have and gain experience in farming, gardening, organic bio construction, food production and preservation....In exchange we would like to receive food and lodging... We are planning to stay a few months in New Zealand...

Please let me know. Thanks in advance !!

Pai mārika taku rā!

Hey guys, lots of good stuff happening in New Zealand. I will be at Tui Community in late Jan/ Feb to help there and then be apart of a team that will facilitate a PDC. I know they are closed for the holidays but you may want to write them about volunteering there for some time. Its a really nice spot with beaches and forest right there. enjoy your time in NZ, go to the south island!!! take a hike as well while you are there, i am planning on it this time!!!
