What we do

Jungli The Nomad Village is a coworking and coliving ecovillage on 150 acres of ancestral land in Dandeli, Karnataka — about 130km from Goa, India’s digital nomad hotspot.
The land’s story began in 1955, when freedom fighter Lalbhai Patel leased it and built the Dandeli Ferro Alloys factory — the business that gave birth to the town of Dandeli and thousands of local jobs. Four generations on, his descendants, the Schae family, still run the land — now reimagined as a home for nomads.
Jungli was founded in April 2024 by Divi, “the Audio Nomad” — born in these jungles, he spent a decade in Australia and three years on the road before coming home to build the coworking and coliving community he could never find elsewhere in India: safe, creative, productive, and affordable.
Today, Jungli is a sustainable, family-run village and community where wifi meets wildlife — deer, giant squirrels, and birds share a forest village by the river with residents working over fast, reliable internet. Coliving houses, villas, camping, and soon tiny homes offer nomads a range of ways to stay, alongside shared meals, coworking spaces, and community programs.
Most of Jungli’s earnings flow straight back into the local Dandeli economy — many team members worked the land in its factory days and still carry its stories. It’s not just a stay; it’s a living piece of history, run on family values.

From The Ground Up: Ecovillage Design Education

From The Ground Up is a 7-day residential Mini Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) at Entelechy, a 13.5-acre intentional community on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. August 9–15, 2026. The course follows the Gaia Education EDE framework, covering four dimensions of sustainability: Ecological – Food systems, natural building, energy and water, appropriate technology. Social – Community governance, communication, conflict resolution, collective decision-making. Economic – Alternative economics, cooperative structures, local currencies, social enterprise. Worldview – The values, beliefs, and cultural frameworks that underlie sustainable community – why people want to live this way, and what has to shift for it to last. The course is facilitated by a graduate of both the full EDE and the Gaia Education Training of Trainers programme. It takes place at a working ecovillage where residents live what they teach. Participants stay on-site for the week in wall tents or camping. Communal meals sourced from local Salt Spring farms and Entelechy’s gardens are included. This course is for anyone interested in designing, joining, or strengthening sustainable communities — whether you’re starting from scratch, already involved in a project, or looking to go deeper than a Permaculture Design Course. Up to 22 spots. Application-based enrollment. Early bird: $950 CAD (before June 15, 2026) Regular: $1,149 CAD Payment plans, group discounts, and work-trade spots available.
