Help us with projects at our new eco yoga village in San Agustín, Colombia

Details

• 

  Description

  We are an eco yoga village and a Krishna conscious community in an active phase of expansion and co-creation, deeply focused on reforestation, well-being, organic agriculture, bioconstruction, ancestral ceremonies, traditional offerings (pagamentos), mantra chanting, Indian Vedic culture, and seamless integration with Andean wisdoms and the preservation of native fauna, flora, and archaeological heritage.
  We are located in San Agustín, Colombia—the womb of the planet and a sacred spiritual reserve within the Colombian Massif, where the main rivers of the country are born. San Agustín enjoys a wonderful, warm, and revitalizing tropical climate all year round, where sun and soft rains alternate gracefully, keeping the soil extraordinarily fertile and the air fresh and full of life.
  This space is not private property, but a collective spiritual sanctuary held with great love and devotion. After holding this territory as a guardian for the past 5 years alongside our Krishna devotee roots, we are now opening a vibrant call to expand our community and welcome brothers and sisters from diverse backgrounds who wish to co-create this paradise of life. While we are on the active path toward complete self-sustainability, everything we do is powered by love, conscious effort, and the cooperation of those who feel a deep calling to align with this territory. We also maintain a warm, cooperative relationship with our local neighbors and rural community.
  We are located 30 minutes from town, via the scenic path of the Three Waterfalls. Additionally, we rent a space in town with comfortable rooms, WiFi, and a therapy/yoga room that serves as our healing center and urban base to organize projects, prepare sustenance, and cohabit comfortably.
  We follow a conscious vegetarian (mostly vegan) lifestyle using organic and local peasant food. Our territory is strictly free of tobacco, alcohol, chemical drugs, or the recreational use of sacred plants—we teach that true medicine lives within us and that sacred plants must be deeply honored, not abused.
  On the farm, we live simply and in close harmony with nature, powered by solar energy for essential needs (we recommend bringing a power bank or personal solar charger for your devices). Cell signal with the Tigo operator is available on site.
  If you feel called to share your gifts, grow through inner work, and collaborate with us, we invite you to reach out! We will arrange a video call to tune into each other's needs and see if we are in true alignment. Thank you and many blessings!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Volunteers experience a deep, transformative journey that directly impacts their inner peace and personal growth. By sharing in our daily rhythms, volunteer service, and intentional ceremonies, travelers leave transformed—healed from emotional blocks and with a renewed sense of purpose.
  In terms of practical and spiritual learning, travelers gain hands-on knowledge in:
  Conscious Country Living: Understanding rural life, organic agriculture, and eco-friendly habitat building.
  Spiritual Ecology & Permaculture: Learning how to interact respectfully with the elementals of nature, honoring the land, and performing traditional spiritual permissions (pagamentos) before initiating any bioconstruction or modification of the territory.
  Inner Healing & Sobriety: Experiencing active spiritual practices, self-discipline, and collective therapy within a safe, non-violent, and completely sober environment.
  It is a deeply enriching experience where work becomes meditation and everyday life becomes a path of inner and outer co-creation.

  Help

  We are looking for sensitive, vital, resilient, and proactive people who are ready to embrace rural life and convert simple living into a deep personal evolution. We seek brothers and sisters who genuinely wish to practice an active spiritual life, deepen their devotion to Mother Earth, and cultivate a conscious connection with the Divine in its many manifestations.
  Because this territory is a deeply energetic, living space layered with subtle dimensions, all physical labor—from farming to bioconstruction—is undertaken as a spiritual practice. Every building and project on the land is rooted in spiritual work, traditional offerings (pagamentos), and deep guidance to honor and protect the harmony built with the land.
  In this spirit, we hold a special, transparent call for masculine energy. We welcome men who are doing their inner work—men who express their strength not through aggression, but through noble protection, respect, and care for life, women, and children. We seek brothers who are grounded, hardworking, and ready to be spiritually guided by the territory and its guardians, working in sacred alignment with the land.
  We deeply appreciate individuals who love getting their hands in the dirt, cooking simple and delicious food offered to the Divine, planting, reforesting, cleaning, and keeping spaces harmonious. We also need brothers and sisters with skills in:
  Bioconstruction, water purification systems, and ecological infrastructure.
  People passionate about co-creating our new autonomous school for children and adults, as well as holding spaces for workshops, retreats, and ancestral gatherings centered on Buen Vivir (Right Living).
  Communication & Growth: Marketing, crowdfunding, media, and project management.
  Yoga teachers, holistic therapists, artists, farmers, and horse lovers.
  Whether you come to collaborate as a volunteer for a specific period or wish to explore long-term agreements to build your own functional cabin within the village, the essential requirement is a humble disposition to learn, teach, and align with Ahimsa (non-violence), conscious vegetarianism, absolute sobriety, and continuous inner work.

  Accommodation

  Living here is a rustic, deeply natural, and rejuvenating experience. Accommodation on the farm is in a tent, sleeping bag, or hammock (we recommend bringing your own camping equipment for full comfort), and we also have a shared space with mattresses. All staying areas are fully roofed and well-protected from rain and humidity.
  Our main house is currently being built and improved step-by-step with the loving help and collaboration of our volunteers. The comforts are simple and close to the elements:
  Kitchen & Fire: We cook with firewood, honoring traditional and rustic cooking.
  Sanitation: We use a simple, eco-friendly dry toilet system.
  Bathing: Showering happens directly in the refreshing river and waterfall, complemented by warm ritual baths with medicinal herbs.
  Wildlife & Cosmos: Because this is a high-energy, living territory with low light pollution, you can witness magnificent meteor showers (shooting stars) at night. The land is brimming with birds and gentle wildlife that show themselves in a very loving way.
  Important Physical Requirement & Sacred Cycles:
  Physical Fitness & Trail Access: Access to the farm involves a natural mountain trail, so coming here requires good physical condition and a resilient, positive attitude toward walking and rural movement.
  Honoring Moon Cycles (Menstruation): We deeply respect and care for the menstrual cycle of women as a sacred phase of life. During these days, women pause heavy physical labor (such as bioconstruction, heavy farming, or cooking) and shift toward artistic, creative, or meditative activities to honor rest and restoration.

  Ancestral & Sacred Sites: You can explore the famous San Agustín Archaeological Park, La Chaquira, and the impressive Magdalena Strait (Estrecho del Magdalena), alongside many free or low-cost sacred sites around the area.
  Nature & Waterfalls: Stunning waterfalls surround our location, offering beautiful hiking trails, pristine rivers, and lush landscapes.
  Transportation & Safety: Traveling between the farm and town is easy via a pleasant rural walking route, local transport, or hitchhiking, which is very safe, fast, and common thanks to our friendly local community.
  Local Life & Markets: On Sundays and Mondays, we love visiting the local rural market gallery, where you can find fresh, affordable chemical-free organic produce, as well as traditional treats like local yucca bread and achira bread.
  Culture, Craft & Education: San Agustín has a vibrant community of locals, indigenous families, and expats with diverse cultural activities, music, traditional sugar cane (panela) processing, and local handcrafts.
  Town Healing Space & Community: We rent a center in town with WiFi, comfortable rooms, and space for yoga and therapies, serving as a base to integrate with local town life. Depending on how well we tune in together, we also organize group trips to special sites around the territory.
