When
you come to Canadian L’Abri you will be joining in with the life of
a family and a growing community.
As we are still in our first terms as a branch, there will be many new and unexpected things happening. Your days will
be divided between study, work and discussion. We will be eating most of
our meals together and the mid day meal in particular is a time to discuss
the issues and questions that have come up in your studies. There will also
be lectures, seminars and film discussions; some of which will take place
in the evenings.
One of the workers will sit down with you when you first come, to talk through with you a plan of study that will suit your specific questions and needs. They will continue to meet with you on a regular basis during your time at L’Abri. We have the beginnings of a tape and book library, and we also find that there is often much to learn from the lives of others in the community. Your work time will be spent doing the various chores associated with keeping a big family up and running; meal preparation, laundry and cleaning. There will be renovation and building projects on the go and lots of gardening and woodcutting. Bring old clothes and good rain gear. Life at L’Abri is full, and community living can be demanding as well as a rich experience. People come from different backgrounds and for different reasons. Be ready to be challenged and stretched! We have one day off a week, and there are many wonderful things to do; local walks on forest trails and secluded beaches close by. Ski hills and downtown Vancouver are a little farther away but within easy striking distance from Bowen Island. Special Note to Non-Canadians
