About me

For those of you coming for the first time we would recommend you spend your initial days simply acclimatizing and hanging out before you connect to the different projects happening here. Some of you may have seen videos on Spirithorse and we highly recommend you watch a few before coming to get a flavor of daily life at a wild off-grid eco village.
DAILY LIFE at Spirit Horse (200 acres)
We are off-grid but we do have gas in the kitchen and solar for lighting and charging. There are no showers (we may put one in a tree!) – we all wash in the river! A deep cleanse can be had in the Sauna a few days a week. Hopefully, by May we can offer more accommodation in yurts – this is only possible for family ‘bubbles’ at the moment – this might change but to be on the safe side of the restrictions please bring a tent if possible as camping and self contained facilities are OK from April. Let me know if this is not possible in advance.
Meals (3 per day where applicable) are all vegetarian/vegan so this is a great place to detox! Meals can be eaten in our big undercover outdoor space or around the campfire in May
Life here is mainly outdoors. We do have indoor spaces but sitting round a campfire is an evening event here!. We have a short mid-morning gathering (M-F only) where we share out the projects to anyone interested in taking part – otherwise feel free to simply hangout (unless you are a woofer!). Our building team will be working on finishing the Giant wooden Yurt (80% finished) high up on the hill and a new outdoor kitchen and some extra big tents etc. Anyone interested in helping might learn some carpentry! Each day life is very relaxed here – just being here is often enough for people. Everyone will have the opportunity to take part in a number of activities/projects going on including hikes to the waterfalls, yoga, meditations, gardening, maintenance, cooking, carpentry, drumming, dancing, and storytelling, from time to time, all sprinkled throughout the month rather than daily. People here are encouraged to create their own projects and events or simply relax.We have a big green car park for cars and those with camper vans.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
