We'd welcome folks interested in experiencing our community...who enjoy participating in and helping with
a variety of projects in a positive and creative environment!

We only spent two weeks here but left with plans to come back and the feeling of really being part of the community. It felt as if we had known each other for years already. We couldn't have asked for a nicer experience while in New Mexico.

Andjelka stayed at our place for a couple of months, and in that time she became part of our growing family. It felt like she had always been here, and we truly miss her now that she's gone. She had a wonderful exchange here, bringing a wide set of skills and ENTHUSIASM to any project. She was always willing to help, and with her supreme… read more

Words won’t even begin to express my gratitude for the life-changing experience I had on my first Workaway with the incredible Pink Flamingos, but I’ll try my best. This community is a rare and special anomaly in this world --- they are the most genuinely kind, generous, warm, accepting, encouraging, hilarious, and fun people you may ever meet!… read more

Elise is such a GEM! What an honor to share in her first Workaway experience...it was as if she has been doing this her whole life! She arrived in instantly got into the flow of our place, offering her (skillful and joyful) help at every turn. She's a truck loading (and unloading and reloading) tetris master, a superb sioux chef, an excellent… read more

To all who would like to engage with warm hearted, funny, welcoming and beautiful people. This had been my first workaway experience and Lisa responded within 24 hours after I had messaged her. Shortly thereafter we had a phone call and the next thing I knew I was on a bus 2 days after that. One of the other workawayers picked me up very early in… read more

Words cannot describe how welcome I felt at this community, unfortunately I was only able to stay for a short while as I was moving quickly through the states. I worked in the kitchen and outside in the garden and loved doing both, there was also plenty of personal time for journalling, meditation and to use the beautiful labyrinths for walking… read more

What a haven for healing, creativity, inspiration, beauty, generosity and many good doses of silliness! This place is truly special. I was nurtured by so many wonderful souls from the moment I arrived until I departed in tears. I made friends that I communicate with regularly, a tribe of travelers who I get to continue to share experiences with.… read more

I’ve been having difficulty articulating my experience with words because it was so…deepening, rewarding, and full of teachings. The community is very welcoming, warm, so incredibly creative, and does all things with the best of intentions. The property itself is beautiful and the land feels sacred. Conscious eating is encouraged and that… read more

It always felt like he was really HERE, participating, lending a hand, beaming his smile, dancing to the music. We would happily welcome him back for a visit - hope you… read more

It was a pleasure hosting Oolie on her journey across the country. She spent time in the garden, in the kitchen, and pitching in anywhere and everywhere that was needed.

I am truly humbled by the generosity and love that I experienced from these beautiful souls.
