Gaia Ashram is an Eco-spiritual community and learning center for permaculture, natural building, deep ecology, and Ecovillage design education. In addition to offering courses on these topics, we take guests, volunteers, and interns who are interested in spending time in our community. On our 13 hectares of land, we have a food forest, gardens, farmland, re-wilded area, many ponds, and innumerable plant and animal beings living here together with us in a community of all beings. It’s hard to believe that the land was barren just 11 years ago! The project is about 11 years old, but we still consider ourselves to be in the ‘forming’ stage as an Ecovillage; while our learning center, volunteering, guest, and intern programs are well-established and we have a small core group of 7 long-term residents, we very much want to grow our core team.
Ecovillage and regenerative living learning center living the principles of permaculture and Ecovillage design
The path to residency involves first joining our internship program for a year and gradually taking on more and more responsibility for a particular area at Gaia + checking throughout the process to make sure it’s a fit for both sides. We’re looking for motivated, proactive, hands-in-the-dirt types of people who find joy in regenerating land. Currently, we’re also on the lookout for an experienced social media intern to help us expand our reach (and also spend some time on land regeneration efforts), and we’re always looking for English and eco-school interns to help with our partnership with the local school in the village.
