Our Mission

Our Vision, Mission and Philosophy
Vista Mundo’s Vision is a Community where you can discover your best self. We achieve this by allowing our community members to share in creating the specifics of what our community looks like and how we will live together in a conscious and sustainable manner.
Our Mission is to create an inclusive transformational community where friend & family love, laugh and support each other in becoming the best versions of themselves. We do this through fun community initiatives, commitment to sustainable living, quiet contemplation and an environment of learning. Our intention is to provide a community that works for everyone.
Our Philosophy is one of Eudaimonia. This was term first coined by Aristotle referring to the satisfaction that comes from constantly developing and living one’s life to the fullest. In the teachings of Aristotle, the happiness that comes from living your life to the fullest and living for the good of the whole (i.e. eudaimonia) is the most lasting and satisfying happiness.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com
