Details

• 

  Description

  We are now in a beautiful villa which is between Haridwar and Rishikesh. This cozy villa, with international standards of cleanliness, has 3 bedrooms, and one big living room for yoga and other activities. This home also has a huge garden and some space for organic gardening.
  We also have a big terrace to relax and do some nice sky gazing.
  
  Food and stay are provided in this upscale villa inside a famous resort complex. There is absolutely no payment for anything whatsoever. Please note this is a commune that is driven fully by volunteers so the selection is based on other volunteers accepting your profile. We DO NOT want you to wash dishes, clothes, cook food, clean the house, help us make money or help us save money. We are adequately funded, and this is a commune for social interaction among conscious beings.
  
  We are 20 mins away from the main city and we have consciously taken this upscale place for its quiet tranquil space in nature, if you are looking for a space near cafes and restaurants please do not write to us.
  If you feel the need to use this space only as a sleeping pad to sightsee places around or meet other travelers in cafes/streets, please don't waste our time, there are a lot of deserving travelers who absolutely would love to be in our clean and rules-free commune.
  
  Although we are in a nice natural environment we have ample and very frequent public transport and shared taxis to go to Rishikesh main city, Haridwar or Dehradun. All three cities are around 20 mins from our home.
  
  Write to us with questions.

  Accommodation

  We have 3 bedrooms, and each room can accommodate 2 people (except one that has floor mattress which can accommodate 3 people). Since it is a commune everyone has to learn to adjust and share the sleeping spaces with consent from each other. Please do not expect to get a dedicated room for yourself if there is someone else who needs a space.
  
  Everyone gets a clean sheet, mattress, pillows, and some personal items like natural soaps and a personal clean water bottle.
  Food served is vegetarian, and this place is void of alcohol and tobacco, but we are not judgemental of anyone not adhering to our ways. Smoking can be done in discreet area or outside the premises.
  Most of our electrical lights are solar powered, and therefore we are not fully self sustaining yet.
  
  Being spiritual at the core, we have guidelines on living that imbibe this. The power of impersonal relations supports community living and inward focus. It is the vision to respect the spiritual search of self-focus with inclusive relationships rather than other-focus of exclusive relationships. For this purpose, it is encouraged that couples find their individual space within the community and sleep separately if possible.

  What else ...
