What we do

Where?
Better In Belize Eco-Village is situated on 130 acres of Rainforest in the Cayo District. Our community enjoys the natural beauty of the Maya Mountains and shares a stretch of the pristine Macal River with Pine Ridge Mountain Reserve; Belize’s largest protected area. Our location offers a unique mixture of seclusion and connectedness. On one hand the unspoiled rainforest we reside in provides a peaceful, private, and quiet (with the exception of a few noisy howler monkeys) existence. While on the other hand we are only a short, scenic drive away from the town of San Ignacio, and only 2.5 hours away from both the Caribbean Coast and Belize City’s International Airport.
Our Way of Life
Here at Better In Belize sustainability is at the core of how we live. We strive to live in harmony with nature and limit our environmental footprint. Our community is entirely off-grid; we use solar panels for our electricity needs and rainwater catchment for our water.
Why?
Whether you are looking for a place to retire and relax, to escape the cold in the winter months, or just a simpler, healthier, and happier alternative to the rat race, Better In Belize may just be the place for you. The beauty of the mountainous landscape and the abundance of wildlife here in the Mayan rainforests are second to none. Here, at Better in Belize Eco-Village, we offer the opportunity for a sustainable, healthy lifestyle change.
Joining the Fun
Only 20 of our original 128 lots are left! Better in Belize comprises a small-scale development of 98 single-family homes, 14 small, multi-residential homes and one commercial lot. A US$500 fully refundable deposit secures your lot for 30 days. We offer 100% certified title (just like in America or Canada).

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/
