As a teaching center we focus on a Conscious Living program, with its roots in Taoist philosophy. We have an eco resort to produce some capital, and now we are looking to expand our intentional community and build an eco village. We offer long-term volunteers accommodations in exchange for labor, and volunteers can also generate some income by working extra hours each week.
Our property is a true paradise, with a full kilometer of cascading creek. We have about 5 acres of land in which to develop our eco village, enough space for farming, animal grazing, and habitats for up to 30 residents. We are located in the Andean highlands of Ecuador, 20 minutes by car from Cuenca, the cultural capitol of Ecuador. At 8500′ above sea level and 2 degrees south of the Ecuador, we have an ideal climate for year-round growing and abundant living.
We also offer a 3-month internship for those who might like to join our community, or take our training to another part of the world to form your own OASIS Center for Conscious Living with our guidance and support.

Hello Louise! Are you French? My name is Robin and I am interested in visiting your eco-village (or retreat/learning center.) I would like to visit as a volunteer or contributing member, depending on if we are a good fit. Or I suppose, initially for a quick visit to look around and meet you. And of course until I leave for Ecuador, I would be honored if we could have a video chat to learn more about each other. My What’s App number is 808-268-8501.
Thank you!
Robin Sage
