We are located in the Mexican highlands, near rural pueblos and with a view of Lake Pátzcuaro. We are developing a rural retreat center, ecological campground, and intentional community. We live without outside power or water - we generate power from our solar panels and catch water from the rain. Volunteers work on a variety of tasks including vegetarian cooking, ecological building, cleaning, activity development, trail work and gardening. Volunteers work five days a week for 5.5 hours per day. There are also opportunities for language classes and exchange, developing specific skills, and working with people from the local community. Smoking and drugs are not allowed, alcohol is acceptable outside of working hours. Please read our website for more information.
There is a small weekly charge which covers costs of food, accommodation, and many activities. Exceptions can be made for long-term volunteers, though every volunteer pays for their first two weeks.

We are specifically looking for longer term residents to do massage, yoga instruction, plant propagation, and kitchen management.
