What we do

Our Vision is to birth Heaven on Mother Earth (H.O.M.E.), to awaken humanity from our deep sleep by taking 100% responsibility for all aspects of our lives.
Earthwaking Village exists in order to assist those that love the Truth to live the Truth. This village is for people who are tired of living in a world full of corruption, fear, division and lack. Our members have left all that behind and devoted their lives to co-creating the New Earth – full of love, connection, honesty and abundance from the inside out.
We are manifesting abundance for ALL by building off-grid, self sustainable 3-Dimensional (Spiritual, Physical and Emotional) Freedom Universities all around the world. We are developing and sharing a new type of education where the focus areas are on health, wealth, happiness, relationships and spiritual connection.
Our eco-village sits on 5 lush acres in sunny Platanillo, Costa Rica. We have 25ish people (adults and kids) living here full time and often have guests, work-trade volunteers, and event attendees come visit us. We have new 1 and 2 bedroom homes, renovated homes/casitas, and condo style studio apartment homes available for stewarding.
We have a full time Garden Team that manages our greenhouse and cares for the 100’s of fruit trees that we have planted in our food forest. We also share our Garden of Eden paradise with 80ish hens that produce more than enough eggs for us and to share with the community at large. We eat most of our meals (breakfast and lunch) together in a family-style round table way, and prepare mostly vegetarian meals (with eggs and dairy, sometimes). Though you are welcome to cook for yourself as much or as little as you like and eat according to your own preferences.
We host in-person transformational events at least 4 times per year that bring people home to Love and the Truth of who they really are… perfect children of God. Register for our next event here: www.RememberExperience.com Our community members also host life-changing transformational events on a weekly basis online via zoom and I invite you to attend our FREE introduction by registering at www.FreedomToBeMasterclass.com (almost every Thursday evening).
We are a Community centered around a Purpose and a Village centered around that Community. The land that supports the community provides us with sovereign sources of food, water, shelter in service to our mission of birthing Heaven on Mother Earth.
If you are ready to leave “The Matrix” behind and step in to a radically different way of life… reach out. We’d love to hear form you.

Our Mission

To heal humanity from the inside out and create a world of abundance for all, by taking 100% responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, actions and reality while working in harmony with nature and each other. As a result, we are birthing the New Earth!

Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves Books for Sale

Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves, Charles Durrett and Kathryn McCamant introduce Cohousing with stories and pictures of both Danish and American communities. Beautiful photographs and line drawings illustrate the warmly written account of how these communities came to be. Specific information on legal and financial aspects of working with developers, group process, and design issues make this book informative as well as inspiring. This is the book which brought Cohousing to North America. This book is the much prized second edition which has become a rarer and somewhat of a collectors item. Its community case studies were not included in the more recent publication. It preceded Creating Cohousing which is widely available. I acquired 25 cases from a local distributor who closed down. If you would like three or more copies for yourself, to share with your friends or to market your group, please let me know. I would love for them to be made useful and find great homes. Books are paperback (hard copy was not an option at the time from the publisher) all brand new, in Oakland (CA) so could be picked in Oakland or mailed to you. I would very much like to recuperate what I paid which is $10 per book. So, If you would like three or more shipped, I will add the postage, packing and handling fees. I have sold several cases (18 books per case) for $150 per case ($8 per book). I have a little wiggle room on the pricing. Please let me know if you are interested.
