Description
25+ hectares of vibrant jungle in the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, dedicated to sustainable living and harmony with nature. Our family consists of like-minded individuals passionate about plant-based foods, permaculture, holistic health, and spiritual growth. We focus on cultivating a fruit forest, living sustainably, and creating a nurturing community environment. Join us in our mission to respect the Earth and each other, as we explore the joys of a simpler, more connected life.
Our ideal candidates our individuals or families who already live off-grid or connected to nature (or ready to reconnect) and want to become members of our community. We see a 2-3 months immersion as a minimum time before you can decide if this is the community you might want to invest in more energy in. We have available lots for those who wish to be residents and build their Space of Love (0.25ha) with us.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will experience a raw and wild lifestyle, connecting deeply with nature's rhythm. Bathing in rivers, eating directly from trees, and revering nature as a mother are core experiences. Life here is minimalistic, without modern comforts, fostering a profound reconnection with the natural world. This unique cultural exchange offers insight into living in tune with the environment, embracing simplicity, and rediscovering ancient ways of coexisting with our planet. It's an opportunity to learn and grow in ways that modern life often overlooks.

Accommodation
Authentic connection with nature. Volunteers can set up their tents or use ours on platforms with roofs, provided with mosquito nets and bedding, waking to the sounds of the jungle, including howling monkeys. We observe a way of living similar to that of the Ringing Cedars of Anastasia (a must read!!).
The food is primarily from the fruit forest, featuring bananas, biriba, pineapple, wild spinach, soursop, and occasionally jackfruits and papayas. Without a cooking or our Education Kitchen, we are happily nourished with mostly raw fruits and veggies. Weekly trips to Limon's market are available for additional needs. The lifestyle here is minimalistic and off-grid, emphasizing purity and connection with nature, away from city influences or limited beliefs. Nature is your home, welcome Home!
What else ...
In your free time, you can explore the lush Costa Rican landscape, indulge in local cultural experiences, or relax amidst the tranquil beauty of the land. The area offers hiking, surfing, and wildlife observation. Transport to nearby Limon and other locations is available for broader exploration. Our community values simplicity, mindfulness, and a deep respect for nature. We expect volunteers to embrace these principles and contribute positively to our off-grid, nature-immersed lifestyle.
