    **WE ARE HAVING A SPECIAL SPIRITUAL EVENTS AND WORKSHOPS FROM 19TH APRIL - 28TH APRIL. SEND US A MESSAGE IF YOU WISH TO KNOW MORE.....

    ESTAMOS TENIENDO VARIOUS EVENTOS ESPIRITUALES DESDE 19 ABRIL HASTA 28 ABRIL, ESCRIBIRNOS SI DESEAS A SABER MAS. GRACIAS :) **

    Hola familia from all parts of the globe,

    We are a couple who met in Mexico a few years ago and decided to finally make roots somewhere this side of the world. Right now we just had a new addition to our family - a baby boy! So if you decide to come, you need to be cool with being around a small person :)

    Our home is humble and basic. We travelled so many years without a home that we really realize home is where you make your heart. We've slept in hostals, on the street, in nature, in random stranger homes so understand that life really is what you make it. Right now were are committed to trying to live in balance with Mother Nature and going back to basics and build a space where we can share all of our skills and knowledge...if you come be prepared to spend time outdoors, use a dry toilet and have a small hike from town.

    About us:

    We are both Yoga teachers and alternative therapists. We are trained in massage, energy work and have spent a lot of time traveling in temples, ashrams and shamanic healing spaces. JJ is also an artist and musician. We have a small child so our new role is parents and we are trying to consciously parent in a way that feels our child is connected with nature and has a healthy lifestyle.

    We've taken a little bit of a diversion this last years in becoming more agriculture and construction based so we can get this project fully underway!

    Practical:

    The exchange is 3 hours of work a day (15 maximum a week) depending on what needs to be done. Tell us your skills and interests, maybe we can accommodate you easier. Depending on the moon phase we could be building, planting or doing odd jobs around the house. With a toddler around we also always need help in the kitchen and general feng shui to keep the energy of the house flowing.

    We have a tents and 2 mattresses available for use (depending on availability). Bring your own blankets or tell us you need some so we can make sure they are dry in advance. Sometimes it rains and is sunny here all in one day.

    Be prepared to walk about 15 minutes to a road and then bus to the town. You need to notify us days in advance of coming as we only go to town when it is an absolute necessity - so coming to get you needs to be planned.

    We recently got electricity and wifi. If you want a WIFI and electricity detox, we can take you to our old house but its in a different area.

    As we have a child and some other commitments, we like to have a structured day in terms of eating. We wake up early for breakfast, have lunch at noon and dinner no later than 6/7. We understand that is not everybodys bio rhythmn but really encourage you to wake up with the nature. It also means we might be able to share with you some Yoga and meditation classes.

    The land is near a town called Mocoa where the Andes and start of Amazonic territory meet. The town itself is kinda small but busy so you can stay connected when you need to and do other things like Western Union if that's ever required. For us the beauty really is outside of the town and in the jungle that surrounds it; there are plenty of waterfalls, national parks, rivers, wildlife and forest to explore.

    Local indigenous communities are also here and in surrounding areas. The main origins are Inga and Kamtza who have a strong lineage of plant medicene. We recommend that you speak to us personally if that is what you are interested in :)

    If you feel called to come then write us <3

    We are trying to be in harmony with the land so there is dry toilet. Also there are tons of places to bathe but we ask you don't use soap in the rivers (organic or not). We have a very simple shower if you wish to use soaps.
