• Regional Connection: Possesses strong social, familial, or lived ties to the Gulf South region.

• Tech & Digital Literacy: Tech-savvy and proficient with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Calendar), social media scheduling, basic graphic design (e.g., Canva), WordPress, MailerLite, and booking platforms (Airbnb, Hipcamp, Firefly Reservations).

…More About Us:

AYNI LLC began in June of 2018, and we began hosting campers, rental events, and a Forest School in 2020 after completing our first round of infrastructure on the land (ranger station, yurt, canvas tents, primitive campground). Since then we host anywhere from 300-500 people a year on our 5+ site primitive camp ground, 3 glamping tents, 1 tiny cabin, 2 full-size cabins, and our 700 sqft yurt. We also have facilities for groups size 20-40 that include a fully equipped kitchen and covered dining area. Our events tend to focus on earthskills (natural building, foraging, etc.,) earth-based/indigenous spiritual practices (winter solstice, grief rituals, etc.), and nature-based learning and education (prescribed burning workshops, Forest School for kiddos, now offered by Burrow Nature Center). We make it a priority for our events to be kid-friendly, as accessible as possible (economically, physically, culturally), and deeply conscious of the environmental impact human visitors have on the land we live and love.

Alongside AYNI LLC there are two other entities at home on the land. The first is the Burrow Nature Center, our non-profit arm that focuses on conservation of and education about the unique ecosystem and multiple threatened species that call the land here home. The second is an entity in the making, AYNI Village, which governs the community of anywhere from 6-15 individuals who live together on the land full-time. We are working towards creating a community land trust that allows for a group of community stewards to oversee long-term facility/residential development as well as oversees the day-to-day tasks of community living.

As the events & rentals assistant, your main role would be to manage AYNI LLC, but coordination across all the entities is key. Further, as a live-in long term resident, you would inherently be part of the AYNI Village, and would be expected to participate in community tasks and responsibilities.
