  Description

  We are a small, close-knit community living, working, and practicing together in a quiet pocket of the Mexican jungle. Our home is a peaceful little haven where people from all over the world come to volunteer, dive into community life, or join one of our retreats.
  
  The place was founded by Chi and Chia in 2017 to be a space where the noise of the world falls away, where clarity and balance return, and where living with presence becomes your natural way of being. In our daily rhythm, we center our lives around awareness, presence, and simplicity. Every task is part of our practice, and regardless of one’s role, we share all meals and group activities together. Each day includes meditation, sharing circles, and a variety of conscious movement practices such as Yoga, Qi Gong, and Pranayama breath-work.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You'll receive guidance, space and personal support to work on yourself from our very own Master of Awareness: Chi, who is the founder of our community. Chi has 20+ years of experience guiding people from all ages and backgrounds in their search for inner peace.
  
  You'll be living in a mini-village where you get to live and grow alongside like-minded individuals and experience a full immersion into life in a conscious community - a space where simplicity, presence, and authentic connection is in focus. In the community we work, practice and live together as a big family where everyone is trying their best to be fully present, aware, and to give each other the freedom to show up exactly as they are.
  
  You'll be invited to all our shared practices. We have daily meditation, sharing circles and various conscious movement activities such as Yoga, Qi Gong and Pranayama. Additionally, we see our functional tasks as a way to practice awareness and aim to move through our day slowly and mindfully, our main goal of the day is always to relax.

  Accommodation

  We offer shared accommodation in spacious glamping tents with other volunteers, 1-3 volunteers per tent. Bedding is provided, and for longer term volunteers laundry service is available. The tents have lights and one small nightstand per person. Simple outside bathrooms/showers are available nearby. The tents are tucked into the peaceful Mexican Jungle, a space where you can experience falling asleep to natures night sounds, waking up to the morning birds, and settle into the simplicity of nature.
  
  All our meals are prepared on-site with love and intention, and consist of delicious, gluten-free, plant-based meals. We practice intermittent fasting to aid the body's natural detoxification process and have a 6h non-fasting window where all our meals are held.
