Program Details

Welcome to our Ayni Sanctuary of Good Living community, a native forest oasis where nature and humanity meet in harmony. We are pleased with your interest in being part of our volunteer program, where together we can explore the path of Good Living and coherence through Loving Service.

OBJECTIVE: Our goal is to create a space for enriching exchange, where through community service, permaculture, biodynamics, bioconstruction, and personal growth, we can instill the conviction that each person holds the key to living a dignified, serene, and abundant life. We are an epicenter of The New Humanity, where the harmony between humanity and nature is palpable.

At Ayni, we invite you to live a transformative experience, sharing knowledge, learning about nature and about yourself, and contributing to the well-being of the community and the natural environment.

Activities & Shift

Green Construction and Infrastructure Maintenance:
Includes the design and construction of spaces with natural and sustainable materials, the implementation of energy conversion and sustainability practices, the maintenance of trails and signage, and the management of infrastructure resources.
4.4. Daily Dynamics:

At Ayni Sanctuary of Good Living, we commit to beginning each day in harmony and togetherness, focusing on synchronizing our individual energies to enhance the collective vibration of the community.

Therefore, the day begins at 8:00 AM, at which time we will gather as a community to synchronize after our personal morning rituals, aimed at balancing our individual energies, and also after breakfast. This meeting will allow us to align our vibrations and enhance the collective energy, committing to the clarity of our individual life purposes and intentions. At 9:00 AM sharp, we will hold a group breathing session. It is important to note that those who do not arrive on time for this meeting will be assigned that day as their day of rest.

After the group breathing session, we will gather for a sharing session in which we will review the previous day's activities, align the day's pending tasks, and address each individual's specific needs. This meeting will be brief and will follow the principles of the Daily Standup Meeting.

After this meeting, everyone will go about their individual work until 1 PM, at which point we will meet again for lunch. After lunch, those with a four-hour shift will have the rest of the afternoon to spend as they see fit.

Once your shift is over, you will have the rest of the day free to enjoy and connect with the nature that surrounds us.

Through this daily dynamic, we seek to foster collaboration, efficiency, and the well-being of
