We are a conscious community united in a life of connection, awareness and simplicity.
Through daily meditation and conscious movement practices, we deepen our self-awareness and connection with ourselves. We support each other through daily activities, reflections, and challenges. Together we inquire into the nature of the mind to remember the root cause of our suffering and pain. We create a space where we can be vulnerable and authentic. By sharing our struggles and reactions openly and honestly, we bring clarity to doubts and find peace with who we are and each moment as it is.
We are grounded in slow living, sharing plant-based meals, and living close to nature and to ourselves. Life here is about being rather than doing. Together, we’ve cultivated a sanctuary where you can stay present, be conscious, and build resilience.
We are 5+ members plus a two-year old and a baby who are currently based in Tulum, Mexico, where we focus on building our inner foundation and strengthening our connection through shared living and daily practice. We host life-awareness retreats and welcome those interested in joining our conscious community. As we grow together, we envision settling on a piece of land in the coming years. We are looking to build a space to nurture a conscious way of life for generations to come, and stay awake.
Our Vision: “Sharing the light of awareness with all beings, to support and be supported, now and for generations to come”
Our Mission: Creating a space where awareness, connection, and presence form the foundation of a conscious way of living.
Through daily practice, reflection and guidance, we cultivate clarity and resilience, supporting the journey of self-realization, self-transformation and a life in harmony.
