25+ hectares of vibrant jungle in the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, dedicated to sustainable living and harmony with nature. Our family consists of like-minded individuals passionate about plant-based foods, permaculture, holistic health, and spiritual growth. We focus on cultivating a fruit forest, living sustainably, and creating a nurturing community environment. Join us in our mission to respect the Earth and each other, as we explore the joys of a simpler, more connected life.
Our needs include assistance in permaculture and maintaining our fruit forest, eco-construction projects, community engagement, and daily maintenance of the community. Volunteers with a specialty in holistic wellness, environmental education, or creative arts are also highly appreciated. We value collaborative effort, learning, and the exchange of skills and ideas. Join us in our journey towards a healthier, more connected, and joyful way of living.

Authentic connection with nature. Volunteers can set up their tents or use ours on platforms with roofs, provided with mosquito nets and bedding, waking to the sounds of the jungle, including howling monkeys. We observe a way of living similar to that of the Ringing Cedars of Anastasia (a must read!!).
The food is primarily from the fruit forest, featuring bananas, biriba, pineapple, wild spinach, soursop, and occasionally jackfruits and papayas. It's a raw diet, as there's no cooking stove. Weekly trips to Limon's market are available for additional needs. The lifestyle here is minimalistic and off-grid, emphasizing purity and connection with nature, away from city influences or limited beliefs.
Nature is your home, welcome Home!
