What we do

Our main intention for this community project is to live regeneratively and in right relationship within ourselves, with each other and nature, to protect biodiversity and life on earth. Coming together in community is key. We will also be working together in partnership with the local Mayan community.

At this time we are seeking *nine* like-hearted and like-minded community co-founders for the project. The co-founders will invest in their own parcel of land within the community (3 acres with spring water access and a small river) and will help to establish the community bylaws and organizational structure. You will be able to construct your home and there will also be shared community spaces available. <

At this stage of the process, we are scheduling initial 1:1 connection calls with prospective co-founders, to introduce ourselves, share more information about the project and answer any questions that you may have.
