What we do

Bhrugu Aranya Ecovillage is a blossoming international Ecovillage, an organic Homa farm community in the rolling hills of southern Poland, with the majestic Tatra Mountains looming over the horizon. We have a spiritual focus, but are non-denominational, focusing on living in harmony with Nature. The place is magical. The energies here are quite powerful and the place heals you.

Here, we use Homa Organic Farming methods based on the ancient Vedic science of Agnihotra healing fire performed at sunrise and sunset. We are all vegetarians, some vegans, and grow a lot of our own food.

Creativity, spiritual awareness, self-development, music, arts, Mandala Art Therapy, Sound Healing, alternative education, herbs, and holistic healing are our primary interests. Currently we are 16 adults, 3 children, 4 cows, 5 dogs, many cats, ducks and bees. We are an eclectic mix of artists, musicians, healers, authors, gardeners, herbalists, architects, therapists and teachers…and dreamers.

Our ecological/educational Nonprofit Foundation teaches Homa Therapy free of charge. We also offer additional experiential workshops in Homa Organic gardening, Fire & Sound Healing, Creative Arts, Mandala Art Therapy and Herbal Lore. Women’s circles weekly.

On the farm one can buy Agnihotra pyramids & accessories, books, Mandala Prints, Deva Herb teas, Homa organic honey, handmade quilts and clothes. . .

We support Rose Circles, a women’s empowerment program in India which helps train women below the poverty level to grow organic foods and learn skills to help them become self-sufficient. We promote their handmade products: original designed clothing, yoga mats, handmade patchwork quilts, rose brooches.

Centre of Light is our biggest project. We have been building a large double-octagon eco centre to serve as a venue for ecological education and a venue for teachers, artists, healers and visionaries for our future.
We welcome visitors and have accommodation for guests in our log cabin, wooden guesthouse and in caravans.

Best is if you have a sincere interest in spiritual (not religious) and environmental living. PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL IN ADVANCE to make arrangements, costs for stay.

    Water Birch Co-op. Urban living in central Denver.

    Large, lovely house built in 1900, two blocks from Cheeseman Park in downtown Denver.  5000 square feet. The house was a Buddhist Meditation Center for 20 years before we got it and has lovely, calm vibes. We currently have ten people and have room for one more. We are an intentional community sharing dinners, 3 living rooms, 2 new kitchens and a kitchenette, & 5 baths. Staple food (organic) is bought together. The group is self-regulating as a co-op; it decides together how the house runs. There are chores ;-) Average cost per room is about $1000 ranging from $650 to $1354. Currently available room is $875. We are just finishing renovation of three bedrooms on the third floor  they are $875 each and share our largest, newest bath (shower and separate claw foot tub) and a brand new kitchenette  they all have beautiful windows and lots of light. PLEASE CHECK OUT COMMUNITY LISTINGS FOR MORE INFO. Initial lease for 3-6 months while we and you decide if we are a good fit for each other.  Deposit in the amount of one months rent is required prior to move in.  We do background checks on all members. Utilities are currently $130 per person per month and are all-inclusive.  They will change if costs go up, that amount is insufficient to cover utilities, or more people mean the cost per person goes down.  WiFi is via mesh network from gig-speed fiberoptic service.  Heat is with radiators.  Cooling is evaporative.  We have a storage room in a nearby commercial facility.  And a new large workshop in the garage. Shared food is $125 per month per person; it is a pass-through cost divided evenly among residents; it does NOT include meat or alternative protein nor any alcohol.  We will not be surprised if that needs to go up some soon ($10 or 15). We have two dogs and three cats in the house  that seems like a sufficient quantity of furry friends for now. Our community intentions include: Communication with compassion. Shared space and life. Shared meals. Shared staple foods which are non-GMO and Organic. Group decision making. Safe, inclusive space: queer and trans friendly, anti-racist, non-violent, and feminist. The purchase of the house by the co-op in about five years. The expansion of the co-op, possibly to include other housing types (like separate apartments). Weekly meetings and house committees to manage our community. We are considering implementing Sociocracy as an organizing method. Quiet hours are from 10:00pm to 8:00am. We are looking for community members who: Want to live in a community not just have a place to sleep and eat. Want to live in a beautiful, clean, and organized house and are willing to help make and keep it that way. Residents should expect to spend 16 hours per month towards this goal. Are curious, compassionate, flexible, and open to living with others who will undoubtedly have different ideas about many things. Are interested in pioneering a new co-op. There will be work involved to get there. Are responsible and communicative. Embrace enthusiastically that living in community requires introspection and personal growth. Are not joining the community as a way of running away from something.
