    Description

    Welcome to our community, out in jocoqui, Aguascalientes. A place where the city noise disappears, and all birds, animals, and nature are alive, breathing around you.

    This is a sacred spot, discovered by Gustavo, who dreamed this space into being, and Ricardo, who’s joined him to bring this vision to life.

    I do want to specify that this is the first time ever that we are opening our doors to volunteers. We are a brand new holistic center that’s finally ready to build its community.

    We’ve just built a chicken den, temazcal, museum for alien artifacts, and rooms have been updated and furnished. Now we’re starting on building a pyramid. Of course, there’s many other projects that need your help like painting, gardening, creating events, and more.

    I’m Ricardo, and I’ll be here at the retreat space, guiding you along the way. This place is a place for those of you walking that spiritual path, building a business that’s soul aligned, or for those of you who are simply looking to be a part of a greater vision.

    We’re here to help people, to build a community where everyone’s empowered. Not just showing up to feed chickens or water plants, though yeah, we’ll do those little things, those small projects to help us grow.

    But it’s way bigger than that. It’s about you adding your spark, your gifts. If you’re a yoga teacher, share a class. If you guide meditations, do that. Or if you have a powerful story or a creative idea on how you can add to our vision, share it! Allow yourself to add your spark. You’re not just volunteering, you’ll be a part of our family.
