Nuestro sueño es establecer una comunidad intencional e igualitaria de entre 100 y 150 personas en Perú.

Nos inspiramos en comunidades como Twin Oaks (EE. UU.) y Tamera (Portugal), y buscamos minimizar las desigualdades entre quienes se sumen al proyecto (económicas, raciales, de género, de edad, de orientación sexual y otras) y crear un espacio de transformación personal y colectiva, donde las relaciones sean íntimas, honestas y saludables entre las personas, y los vínculos sean respetuosos y regenerativos con la naturaleza.

El Pilote es nuestro proyecto piloto, una casa de campo en el pueblo de Calca, a una hora de Cusco en el Valle Sagrado. Estamos viviendo aquí desde abril de 2026 y planeamos quedarnos aproximadamente un año antes de mudarnos a un lugar más grande.

Para más detalles, puedes leer nuestro blog: https://elpiloteperu.substack.com.

Our dream is to create an egalitarian intentional community of 100–150 people in Peru, inspired by Twin Oaks in the USA and Tamera in Portugal.

We’ll work to minimise inequalities between our members (e.g., based on economy, class, race, age, and gender) and create a space for personal and collective transformation, cultivating healthier, more intimate, and more honest relationships. We’ll start from our shared needs and potential as human beings, building a regenerative culture in which we can live more fully while protecting our environment.

El Pilote is our pilot project, a group house in the town of Calca, an hour north of Cusco in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We’ve been living here since April 2026 and we plan to stay for about a year before moving to somewhere bigger.

In 2021, I formed Infinite Abundance Ministries (IAM) to empower people to reach new heights of success and fulfilment.

Our congregation is non-denominational and welcomes people from all walks of life.

I incorporate teachings from the Bible, Vedas, and other religious texts into our doctrine.
My words encourage members to find the path that truly resonates with their souls.
For many years, God has granted me prophetic visions of a major societal shift.
I call it, “The Final Days of Babylon.”

This caused my focus to shift.

I have been called to bring my people to a place of safety and peace while the chaos unfolds around us.
I see myself as a “Citizen of Earth” who does not belong to any one specific place.
I personally travel from state to state, bringing individuals and communities together for this cause.

If you would like to learn more about this unique opportunity, I would be happy to share my insights with you.

My contact information is in this listing.

Gaia Grid is a small piece of land in the Western Ghats that has slowly been brought back to life. What was once dry, rocky ground with almost nothing is now a growing forest of fruit trees, native species, birds, insects, and everything that follows when land begins to heal.

I started the project around 9 years ago as an experiment. Since then, with the help of volunteers who have come and spent time here, it has gradually evolved. We’ve built a kitchen and common hangout space, a large dormitory (which also doubles as a yoga/meditation space), planted over 800 trees, and constructed a basic shower and toilet block. In many ways, it is still very simple and still evolving.

It is not a finished place. It is a process you step into.

The intention behind Gaia Grid is to explore simpler, more conscious ways of living that are less dependent on external systems and more connected to natural cycles. Water, food, shelter, and energy come from systems that are still being developed, with a majority of these resources coming from the land itself.

The community here is small, fluid, and constantly changing. There is no fixed group or formal structure. It is usually just me, along with a small number of people who choose to spend time here. While people may arrive as visitors, they become part of the space through shared responsibility for the work, the food, and the overall environment we create together.

Daily life is simple and participatory. Meals are cooked and eaten together, and responsibilities are shared as needed. Some days are quiet and slow. Others are more physical; hands in the soil, moving stone, planting, maintaining, or building. The rhythm is shaped more by the land and the season than by any fixed schedule.

Decisions are generally informal and situational. There is space for discussion, but also an understanding that the project itself has a direction shaped by its long-term intention. The structure is light, but participation and awareness are expected.

Beyond the physical aspect, Gaia Grid also holds space for reflection. The land is quiet, relatively remote, and surrounded by nature. Many people find that being here shifts their relationship with time, attention, and what they actually need. There is space for conversation, but also for silence.

My own journey has moved between very different worlds, and Gaia Grid reflects that ongoing exploration. It is not about offering a fixed path, but about creating conditions where people can observe, question, and experience something different. If someone is interested in inner work or self-inquiry, that can be explored informally through conversation and shared experience.

What we are attempting here is simple, though not always easy which is to regenerate a small piece of land, to live in a more aware way, and to explore what it means to share space and responsibility with others, even temporarily.

Gaia Grid is not a finished community or a defined model. It is an evolving experiment in living differently. Anyone who spends time here becomes part of that process, even if only for a short while.

Hi everyone — we’re opening applications for a small first cohort of families for a village-based community in Central Portugal.

We’re building for families who want more than a house: shared rhythm, children with a peer group, nature, common life, and enough quiet for real work and real learning.

This is not a retreat and not a mass coliving project. We’re looking for a small number of families who want to help shape culture from the beginning and who are serious about year-round life in Portugal.

If your family has been looking for a child-friendly community in Portugal, this may be relevant. Details + application here: [application link]

If it resonates, feel free to comment or message me.

Wonder Forest Village is an intentional community focused on sustainable cooperative sustainable living, spiritual growth and healing, artistic expression, and generally living in the wonder of life. 

 

We are looking for like-minded families and individuals to live with us in the forest north of Charleston South Carolina. The land will be purchased, maintained, and legally protected through a “permanent land cooperative” which provides both residents and outside parties the ability to participate.

 

The village will consist of homesites for families and individuals, common areas for food and resource cultivation, art and science, recreation, and communal gatherings. By purchasing a “resident share (or shares)”, a resident will have the right and responsibility to live on the land and participate in the activities based on their skills and knowledge.

 

It is the desire of the village to have a diversity of skills, interests, and knowledge represented within those living in the collective, especially those which support the key village values of:

-Sustainable living (food, fuel, shelter)

-Spiritual Growth and Healing

-Art (Music, Visual, Dance)

-Discovery/Wonder Science

 

We are also open to the financial participation of those who will not live with us as “investor members”, who in exchange for their investment will receive a modest return annually based on the profits from the farming, healing work, and art of the community. 

 

Donations are also welcome to contribute to the starting of this village.

Ellis Street Community House is a small intentional community on the outskirts of Portland Oregon.

We are currently 3 adults and one baby living in a 6 bedroom, 3 bath house on ¼ acre of land near Powell Butte nature park and the Springwater Corridor bike trail.

For us, living in community is a collaborative process, one that helps improve our quality of life. We’re able to eat great food, keep the place clean, maintain a garden, and hold a space large enough to host guests and events by working together. We have an extensive community library and art/craft material collection, as well as a great tea selection, stocked pantry, and functional kitchens ready for feast-making, canning, and fermentation dreams. We make kombucha, ginger beer, sauerkraut, bone broth, natto, and apple/pear butter on a rotating basis. With two fridges and two deep freezers we can save blueberries and blackberries we harvested from close by and get meat directly from farmers. We hold potlucks and other events like bonfires and game nights about once a month, and make a house dinner together weekly.

We are seeking additional membership: We maintain a home free from artificial fragrances and voice-activated technology. The large downstairs room is available for $740 per month. It is next to the back door with zero steps to entry. We have another room upstairs that will soon be available at $700 per month for a single person or $800 for a parent and child. Guest space is available for friends and relatives of residents – upstairs there is an office/guest room for longer visits, and the couches/pads in the common areas are available for shorter stays. The home has heating and cooling through an efficient heat pump, and we just upgraded to a tankless water heater. Utilities usually run around $100 per month. We also share expenses for groceries and cleaning supplies, you’ll receive reimbursement for groceries if you go shopping often, or contribute typically $50-75 per month if you don’t go shopping as much. Pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis, any dog or cat must have references and a track record with young children.

House Culture

The house culture refers to both the patterns of interactions/ lifestyles/ rituals in the house, as well as the microbiome of the house. The culture of the house is an active, evolving, and living thing based on shared rhythms, chemistry, and values. In this culture, we:

Foster relationships of trust: By staying true to our word, attending to conflict in a timely way, sharing our resources, and respecting each other’s boundaries, we foster relationships of trust between those living at the house as well as those who visit.

Foster health: By sharing in fresh meals of minimally processed foods, cultivating the garden and probiotic foods, minimizing chemical exposure in the house, and making available herbal remedies, we foster the health of those living in the house as well as those who visit.

Foster personal freedom: By not seeking to control each other’s behavior or beliefs, and allowing each resident to act in the ways that feel natural to them (within stated boundaries and house rules), we foster personal freedom. We refuse to become a cult.

Contact Name: Mario

Terranima is at a genuine turning point — and we think that’s worth saying clearly
The project was co-founded in 2020 by Mario and Chris. Over five years, we built the infrastructure, developed the soil, transformed our olive production to fully regenerative methods, obtained Soil Food Web certification, launched a soil laboratory, and secured European funding to run events and online training in regenerative agriculture. The foundation is solid.
Last year, Chris made the decision to start a new chapter in France. That transition — honest and mutual — has left me, Mario, as the primary person on the land. Roberta, our third co-founder and a renewable energy engineer, continues to support the administrative side of the project.
What this means in practice: the land is productive, the knowledge is deep, the network is alive — but the human layer that makes a project a community is waiting to be built.
That is exactly why I am here.
I am looking for a family or young couple who wants to arrive not as guests or volunteers, but as people ready to put down roots. To share the daily work of the land, to bring their own skills and vision, and to help grow Terranima into the small, resilient community it was always meant to become.
The apartment is available, rent-free. The olive trees are producing. The soil is alive. The European-funded programmes create ongoing connections with people and organisations across the regenerative agriculture world.
What is missing is you.

Contact Name: Eve Fischer

The Jubilee is the current steward of 53 acres of beautifully fertile mountainside land in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. My vision is to create a multi-generational community of five to ten families, including an educational hub and retreat center anchored around the values of permaculture, attachment parenting, child-led learning, relational practice and spirituality. I believe in the possibility of a beautiful future, most importantly for our children. It’s my dream to live in close connection with those who share this belief and are committed to living into it.

 
I’m looking for people who feel a deep connection and/or longing for this area and who are looking to raise families with like minded people.

I bought this property in 2021, specifically for the purpose of building a small intentional community. I really wanted to grow slowly and organically, by word of mouth but now I’m finding that I’d like to pick it up a bit.

I’m hoping to find people who want to have or support other people having children, who want to raise them with attachment style parenting, child-led learning, who have building skills (as in carpentry and operating machinery), Permaculture aligned gardening skills and community experience, who are looking to help found a new one.

Besides the small house that I live in, which serves as community kitchen, bathroom,  living room,  there is a tiny house that is just a bedroom, there is a camper that could be reset to be a nice temporary home for 3 seasons and in the summer-fall, there is a glamping set up with 3 cabin sized tents with real beds, a lounge (a big screened in porch with comfy sofas) with a bathroom and a rustic kitchen.

The opportunity I’m offering is for people, once they have met membership requirements, to build and own their homes on the upper 30 acres. There are big piles of stone throughout the forest and enough mature trees for building several small houses. Each family will long term lease the two acres that surround their house. The leases will cover small shares of property taxes and land maintenance, only, which will be about $50-$100 per month to start. They may either build in such a way that if they decide to leave, they may take their house with, or they may sell it to someone approved by the community.  Their children will have inheritance rights but must continue to be community members or they must sell or rent to approved members. Together,  on the lower 20 acres, we will build a retreat and educational center, a large community center, art studio, gardens and performance center.  When it is built and running, I would like to create it as a community land trust so that it is not owned but protected into perpetuity after I’m gone.

There are over 70 mature apple trees and an opportunity to create a craft hard cider business.  There are several stands of sugar maple. There are at least 3 springs and a swimming hole in the Mad Brook. There is a beautiful view from the top of the mountain and people remark on the healing properties of this place.
In ancient tradition,  the jubilee was a celebration of homecoming, freedom and amnesty. To me, it means we come here to return ourselves to right-relationship with the land and each other.  Here, we celebrate daily, into the future we are creating.
Our Location
Nestled in the heart of the mountains about fifteen miles south of the Canadian  border, The Jubilee is home to countless songbirds, over seventy mature apple trees that dot the park-like landscape, beautiful wildflowers, three abundant fresh water springs, several stands of sugar maple and a cold year-round brook. Our gardens grow abundantly on twenty acres of cleared meadow and we are in the beginning phases of implementing permaculture designs that will expand our food production and self-sufficiency.
Our Offerings
Friends come from near and far for the potlucks, pop-up events, music jams, saunas and poetry circles. Our potlucks have become a culture of their own, inspiring what people say are some of the best meals they’ve ever had! Guests stay in our Airbnb glamping set up, complete with several cabin size canvas tents with real queen size beds. We have a  hilltop lounge with panoramic views from comfortable sofas and from the clawfoot bathtub in the well-appointed bathroom,  a wood-fired sauna and a private massage tent. Our rustic spa has earned many 5 star reviews and is a strong start towards the creation of our retreat center.

A question I keep sitting with: how many of us are quietly waiting for the right intentional community while life keeps moving?
I got tired of waiting alone. So I’ve started building an on-ramp — and I’m looking for people who want to help shape it.
The Humanity Lab is a proposal: 4–10 people sharing a home in Tulum for 1–3 months, targeting around June. Real life, real work, real rent — alongside people chosen for alignment and heart, with an operating system built around self-awareness, conscious communication, and collaborative decision-making.
Not a retreat. Not a commune. A container — safe to enter, clear when it ends, and what you learn you carry home.
This is an early proposal, not a finished thing. The right people will help shape what it becomes.

**WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS!**

The Montie House Cooperative is a cooperative housing organization. At its maximum, our house can fit 40 individuals. We aim to house about 20-30 at any given time. We have a large shared kitchen, several large common spaces, a TV room with double-decker couches, a projector, a workout room, and several small-to-large rooms. Sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately the house is super old and needs tons of work. Worsening effects of climate change are posing new threats like flash flooding. Our members pool our monthly membership fees to cover repair materials, and we pay our membership for conducting maintenance. We also use our pooled membership fees to cover utilities like electric, water, internet, and gas. We cover pantry staples like flour, dry beans, canned veggies, sugar, spices. We also cover toilet paper, toilet cleaner, kitchen cleaning products and more. Uhhhh we usually host at least one big event per month, lots of live music. We end by 11pm to avoid getting in trouble with the city. We are doing a bunch of garden and native planting projects on our relatively small lawn space! We also have our own compost!

We are completely independent – our membership votes to designate some members to serve on our executive board. That’s how we run the house!

We use Discord for our group chat.

There are a lot of student housing cooperatives in the area, but this one has a slightly older average age versus the nearby student communities. It’s a chiller environment which prioritizes strong communication as the basis of a strong community.

 

The house can get dirty – it’s definitely at 18+ community. Pets are not guaranteed to be let in and have to be voted on separately from new members.

Hello everyone!
I’m putting a call out to people who are craving the farm life of old — a true community where like-minded folks with the same goals for their families come together on one piece of land. Everyone doing their part, sharing the chores, the profits, the hard days and the good ones, the work and the play.
The world is changing fast, and a lot of us feel that pull to get away from all the craziness. The things you see online are confusing and scary. Even the mainstream news feels fake. Prices keep climbing so high that most of us are just working to eat and pay bills. There’s no such thing as saving anymore. One flat tire, one doctor visit, one broken window, and you’re forced to work extra just to cover it. The food in the stores seems designed to make us sick, and the healthcare system feels like it’s only there to keep you hanging on long enough to take every dollar they can.
Families are broken. People are broken. The whole system feels broken. We’ve traded real living for convenience, and that convenience is costing us more and more of our time. If you’re a God-loving, Bible-believing, Jesus-following person like me, you already see the signs in Revelation. It’s time to act, not wait. The Bible tells us in the end times to run to the mountains. We don’t have mountains here in North Florida, so we went to the country — very few neighbors, way off the beaten path.
This homestead is for people who want a deeper walk with God and a simple, rewarding life helping each other. If you’re yearning to get back to working the land, planting seeds, raising animals for food and trade, now is the time.
I’ve been watching posts in the boondocking groups, homesteading groups, and off-grid living groups, and I keep seeing the same pattern. So many people say they want this life, but very few seem ready to actually build it. It feels like most folks just want to show up once everything’s already done — the hard work finished, the money spent, the fences up, the pens built. They want to do a few chores and then have the rest of their time free. And don’t get me wrong, that’s the goal down the road, but right now we need builders, not just users.
Where are the pioneers? Where are the people willing to start from the ground up? Where are the ones ready to sacrifice a little comfort in the beginning so we can all reap the rewards later? That’s who we’re looking for — people who understand that nothing changes if you don’t change it. People with dedication and real commitment.
I hear the excuses every day: “If I only had the money… if I had more time… if I had my own land… if I had the right resources… if I could just find people I get along with…” Or “I’d put in the work if it was already established… if I had a camper… if it wasn’t for my kids’ school…” The list goes on and on.
Back in the old days, people bought barren land, dug wells by hand, cut trees to build their homes and fences, and made it work with what they had. That’s the spirit we need. My vision is to focus on the people who don’t fit in anywhere else — older folks who’ve been abandoned by family and society, and homeless veterans. No veteran in this country should be living on the street after what they’ve sacrificed.
We have five acres ready for people and small animals, plus access to the adjoining ten acres for larger livestock and crops. This is not a finished place with electricity and flushing toilets yet. This is raw land — an investment of time, sweat, and faith. The reward is waking up to the sunrise, growing your own food, raising your own animals, and building something that feeds your body, mind, and spirit.
If anything I’ve said here speaks to you, if you feel that calling, please reach out. Let’s start a real conversation and see where it goes. We’re looking for people with vision, a servant’s heart, and the willingness to work alongside others to create something that matters.

Playful Catholic Forest Growers is a forming intentional community rooted in joy, stewardship of the land, and a living devotion to Yeshua in the Catholic tradition. We are gathering people who want to pray, work, dance, grow food, and play together while cultivating a forest‑centered, regenerative way of life.

Our vision is simple and bold: to build a small, vibrant community where faith, creativity, and ecological care are woven into daily rhythm. We honor Catholic sacramental life while embracing a spirit of play, embodied movement, and shared labor. We believe holiness can be expressed through tending soil, singing around a fire, learning from the forest, and supporting one another in becoming fully alive.

We imagine a place where:
Prayer and spiritual practice are woven into the week—Mass, Lectio Divina, contemplative silence, and simple liturgies.
Land stewardship is central—forest gardening, regenerative agriculture, native species cultivation, and hands‑on ecological restoration.
Embodied joy is welcomed—dance, music, movement, and play as expressions of gratitude and community bonding.
Shared work builds connection—gardening, building, cooking, and caring for the land together.
Hospitality is a core value—welcoming visitors, pilgrims, and friends who resonate with our way of life.
Formation and growth are ongoing—learning from Scripture, tradition, the land, and one another.

We are currently in the early forming stage and are seeking people who feel called to co‑create a small, grounded, spiritually rooted, and joy‑filled community in the forests of Western North Carolina. You don’t need to share our beliefs to apply, but you should feel comfortable living alongside people for whom faith is central. We welcome anyone drawn to a life of simplicity, service, and delight.

If you feel drawn to a life where prayer, play, and ecological stewardship meet, we’d love to connect.

Bloom Village is an emerging regenerative learning village currently being developed in Ranong, Southern Thailand.

The project began from a simple question: What kind of place do we want our children to grow up in?
After searching for communities aligned with our values — nature, learning, connection and long-term stewardship of land — we realized that the place we were looking for did not yet exist. So we began creating it.

Bloom Village is designed as a small, walkable village where families can live close to nature while sharing resources, knowledge, and community life. The village integrates homes, shared spaces, and a learning campus where children and adults can explore self-directed learning in an inspiring learning environment. Rather than following a traditional school model, learning is driven by curiosity, collaboration and real-world exploration.

The land is located on a peninsula near Lam Son National Park, surrounded by mangroves and coastal forests. Around 60% of the site will remain dedicated to regeneration and biodiversity protection while the village itself will be designed for low-impact living.

Our vision is to create a place where children can roam safely, families can build meaningful relationships, and people can live in a deeper connection with nature and each other.

The community combines professional management with participatory governance so that residents can shape the village together while ensuring high operational standards.

Bloom Village also aims to share its learnings openly and contribute to a wider network of regenerative communities that support one another through knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Ultimately, Bloom Village is an experiment in designing a future-ready way of living — where community, learning, ecology and technology can evolve together.

A community of humans and starseeds who are choosing to come together for information sharing, healing, research, companionship, and general support, who have been negatively or unwillingly affected by the reptilian race in ways that have attempted to damage their humanity or otherwise limit their ability to fully participate in society.

This newly forming community may remain as an online support group for the time being, or may choose to proceed with a more comprehensive residential program (there is expertise for doing this within the community), should there be sufficient desire to create physical spaces for spiritual practice, or simply enjoy the benefits of living in an understanding community of similarly-affected people.

The vision of a New Thought Intentional Community has been coming to be for a while now.  It is big and seems impossible at the moment.  It seems as if it should be a “someday” kind of dream, not something I should be giving my energy to right now, but it’s become the kind of burning soul desire that my favorite spiritual teachers talk of and I can’t ignore it, no matter how impossible it seems to my ego.  My spirit self keeps harping on me that it shouldn’t be ignored.  Yes, it may take years to come about, but it’s time to start building the mental equivalent now.

Below you will find details of what I see when I think of this project.

The Space

I see a small community in the woods.  It appears to be a campground resort with all the typical amenities you find in such places.  There are a few average sized family homes and several smaller residences varying from tiny houses to primitive cabins.  There is a community pool, hot tub, and recreational area with a playground and space to enjoy nature.

There is a large community building where meetings, classes, group meals, and social gatherings take place.  A few small shops, including a general store, can be found within the community. The shops cater to both the residents and visitors.

There are wildflowers and gardens everywhere.  There is also a thriving food forest and a small collection of livestock.  There are two greenhouses on the property.  One helps to maintain food production throughout the winter months. The other is used to grow marijuana and possibly hemp.

The Residents

The members of the community are focused on continual personal growth and wellbeing.  They all believe in the power of a positive mindset and are committed to using that power to maintain a prosperous and harmonious environment in which to live.  They are conscious of their use of Earth’s resources and strive to be respectful and conservative with those resources.

The community shares many common resources and works together to provide for the needs of its people while celebrating individuality and diversity.  They gather regularly to share meals, engage in spiritual practice, learn together, discuss community business, and share struggles and celebrations.  While these gatherings are important to the community, the importance of time alone and within individual family units is also recognized and respected.

The Business

The community has income sources that give residents the opportunity to earn their income on site.  They offer classes, workshops, and retreats of various types to guests.  Many residents utilize their individual skills to create retail merchandise.  Others offer services including various healing modalities and coaching.
