What we do

We have lived around the world and have found that community tends to build itself. We don’t feel the need for obligatory community events, functions or services. We do not need participants to see everything exactly as we see things. We are however particularly interested in people that have a strong drive to become self sufficient. We are particularly interested in people that are looking and thinking outside of the mainstream narrative.
There will be a few very simple rules to agree to up front, other than that, “my land is my land, your land is your land”. There will be a small community area that we can share. We believe that as we always have in the past, we will manifest good people around us, and community will organically build on mutual respect, love, and similar interests.
We think there will likely be a time soon where it will be much safer to be outside of towns and cities, living an agrarian lifestyle. We are planning now, ahead of time. We are available to assist with all areas of building your homestead. We are selling off portions of an incredible 200 hectare piece of land, you can buy as little as 2 acres. We can help you with cabin construction, pond creating, food forests, greenhouses, and alternative energy solutions. Or, you can do it all yourself. The land will be legally deeded to you.
There are no obligations of your time, no monthly expenses. We will share the cost of maintaining the private road that will run through the property. That’s it. We do encourage trading and sharing, as well as volunteer time working on and maintaining the communal space, but that’s on a volunteer / optional basis. We will outline what we’re doing regarding our crops and livestock, maybe there will be something slightly different that you’ll want to focus on / include so that we will be able to trade.. We also strongly encourage including ample stored foods.
The land is 3 hours from Cuenca, Ecuador

Gaia Ashram Internship

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 using mud plasters and art works on

Deep Ecology and Mindful Gardening

Deepen our connection with nature through our head, heart, hands and spirit. Join us for this two weeks contemplative learning where we will learn together What is Deep Ecology as a philosophy, as a way to see and interpret life, as an approach to deepen our connection with nature and as a way of living. This two weeks program is designed to have balance of the learning through different channel of our being: Head: Theoretical learning, critical thinking, debate, discussion, deep reflection & deep questioning. The learning through the head help us to understand deeply of what is happening around us and in the world. Understanding and deeply questioning the reality presented to us is a way to liberate ourselves from it. Heart: listening to what we are feeling when we engage ourselves in nature and her stories. Allowing the heart to feel the love, joy, compassion or the feeling of sadness & fear allowing ourselves to feel the pain ourselves, the world & Mother Earth. We will use the activities of The Work That Reconnect of Joanna Macy and other practices to help our heart to learn deeply. We need the learning through our heart to bring about transformation at a deep level. Hand: Mindfully working with nature in the garden. When we are mindful we love, respect and connect as we are physically engaged. Practical work help us to ground our believes, philosophy and vision. It empowers us and assures us that the new reality we wish for is possible. It makes what’s in our head and heart become real and tangible. Spirit : Spirituality, Meaning & purpose. Learning at this level is about being conscious of our values and purpose, seeing ourselves as part of a greater universe and realizing our connection, relationship and responsibility in that picture. a learning at this level helps us to stay connected with our core and bring meaning to life.
