Program Details

Living with us is like wandering into a rare space of connection, growth, and self-realization. As a volunteer, you’ll receive:
🥑Personal guidance:
While helping with daily tasks, you’ll receive support, nuggets of wisdom and the occasional mind-expanding insight from Chi - our Master of Awareness and founder of the community.

🥑Immersion in a Conscious Community:
Live and grow alongside like-minded individuals who value simplicity, presence, and authentic connection. Think of it as a mini-village where everyone’s trying their best to be kind, aware, and to give each other the freedom to show up exactly as they are.

🥑Daily Nourishment:
Feast on delicious plant-based meals prepared with love and intention. We practice intermittent fasting with a 6h non-fasting window to keep things light, bright, and to help with the body's natural detoxification process.

🥑Accommodation:
Sleep in a shared glamping tent tucked into the peaceful Mexican jungle with access to simple outside bathrooms/showers. Fall asleep to natures night sounds, wake to the morning birds, and settle into the simplicity of nature.

Activities & Shift

This role is ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys being around young children and feels comfortable engaging with them in a calm, present way.

As a volunteer with a special focus on childcare you will:
🌴Spend mindful, attentive time with our toddler
👶Play, read, explore nature, and support simple learning moments
🪷 Maintain a warm, safe, and relaxed atmosphere
🧹 Assist with various household tasks to maintain a pleasant and organized space.
