What we do

Eco-Village Sol will portray and represent a new way of living, a place to heal, grow and re-awaken deeper aspects of ourselves which we have forgotten and lost in the frantic and hectic pace of our industrialized world.
This will be a whimsical, creative and spontaneous journey; an intense unfolding of what it feels like to be alive, connected and nurturing towards our individual selves, other animals and the fragile ecosystem in which we reside.
Volunteers
If you sympathize with the vision of Eco-Village Sol you can be valuable for the creation of the community. Please contact us. You don’t need to be an expert, because we believe that everyone has a passion that can be of use to Eco-Village Sol.
Development update
At the moment we have 4 acre of land where we are doing mostly agriculture. We are also building lodges and doing much more activity at that location. In the meantime we are seeking a larger land for the creation of Eco-Village Sol.
Creating our own food is very important and there is much work to do. We really need much more hands to help.
In our environment you can learn how to work in harmony with nature, the tropical environment, sacred geometry, etc.
We are in the process of building a kitchen now.
The location is in the east of Curacao. This area is full of development. There are more agricultural lands, an ostrich farm, an Aloe farm, etc.
St. George’s Bay is close to where kitesurfing lessons are given. About 15 minutes from the town center and entertainment venues.
Activities include:
– Agricultural activities.
– Construction of a Tiny house for volunteers and other structures like a mobile chicken coop.
– We work with geometric shapes, so the structures being built are a challenge but a great way to learn more about this concept.
– Water management is an important task at the project because of challenging weather conditions we aim to collect every raindrop and hold it in either the soil or for our daily usage.
The most important for us is that you can feel free.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have more questions

Community House in SE Portland Seeks Membership!

Ellis Street Community House is seeking kind, present, and engaged new housemates with experience in community living. We are currently 3 adults, one baby, and two cats living in a 6 bedroom, 3 bath house on ÂĽ acre of land near Powell Butte nature park and the Springwater Corridor bike trail. We expect to be joined by a shy and sweet 2 year old in the next few months. 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 maintain a home free from artificial fragrances and voice-activated technology. The larger downstairs room is available for $740 per month. The smaller downstairs room will be available for $600 per month starting on September 1rst. The main kitchen is on the second floor. We also have private outdoor space for someone sleeping in their home on wheels available for $200-500 per month depending on the size of the vehicle. This would include membership in the community and use of the common spaces. 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 ju
