What we do

SPIRIT HORSE is a place like no other! Hidden in a secret valley, it appears as an ancient tribal village, nestled in the wild woods, under a waterfall and glittering rock face. Spirit Horse has flowered into something unforeseen; an ongoing experiment in off-grid, eco-community living. But with tribal style!
The dream began with a few tipis pitched at the far end of a farm in a huge meadow. One of the aims was to host retreats on a shoe-string budget, the only budget we had back then! We did not know it at the time but something much bigger was destined to happen. People fell in love with the place and with something else that cannot be named. We grew, and a community was born.
A charity was created in 2002, and after ten years of fundraising something impossible happened; we bought 200 acres of land, with the sole intention of letting it all grow completely wild!
That land now surrounds our hidden encampment that has become a settlement of roundhouses, yurts and temples. Today it’s called rewilding, but back then we spoke of it as “returning her original face”.
If your wild side is calling then come, sit by our fire – there is a seat with your name on it. Come away to the wild! Let that part of you be addressed and blessed.
You can also join our monthly internship program, or our volunteer program or our building team, where you live and learn with us for weeks or months of immersion – welcome home!
Come! Come for ecstatic creativity, candlelight suppers, nights of fierce drumming and dancing, silent enquiry, tribal togetherness, stillness among the groves, temple living and saunas by the rock pools. Come to learn, lend a hand, laugh and be silly. Come to deepen and dream and give life to new dreams. Discover, learn, build, realign – and play in waterfalls!

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.

Festival en familia

Este año queríamos darle un toque diferente a nuestras jornadas de educación. Pensamos que encuentros centrados principalmente en un intercambio de información para adultos hay muchos, por lo que en esta ocasión pretendemos darle mucha importancia a nuestr@s hij@s. Queremos que vengan niñ@s de todas las edades por eso la inscripción hasta los 16 años es gratuita para ell@s; así que nos hemos puesto manos a la obra para crear un campamento familiar donde podamos disfrutar de realizar actividades creativas juanto a nuestr@s hij@s y en un entorno natural inigualable, todo ello sin dejar de lado la estructura de encuentro como la de años anteriores donde invitaremos a colectivos y profesionales para que compartan sus experiencias y visiones con nosotros. Tendremos una comida sana y casera (avisad vegetarianos, veganos, alérgicos…) durante vuestra estancia y el alojamiento sera en una amplia zona de acampada donde podréis montar vuestras tiendas, allí conviviremos durante 5 días. Traed vuestros cubiertos, platos y vasos por favor, a nosotr@s nos es de gran ayuda en los eventos en los que hay que atender a mucha gente. La Recepcion de l@s participantes comenzara el día 5 de julio a partir de las 16:00 ( no pasa nada si llegáis un poco antes) y el evento finaliza tras la comida del día 10 de Julio. Iremos colgando las novedades sobre el festival en nuestro blog para teneros informad@s. ¡¡ Nos vemos pronto en el valle!! Organizador km28 Email: co******@**28.org
