What we do

Hapori Eco Aldea is a co-created ecological neighborhood committed to sustainable living, community engagement, and land stewardship.
We are creating a multigeneration and multicultural village that strives to be an example of living in harmony with each other and Nature.
We have 4 founding households so far. We are looking for members to join and live in community.

Our Mission

At Hapori Eco Aldea, we believe true well-being begins with how we live, where we live, and how we take care of our environment and ourselves. Located just 20 minutes from San Miguel de Allende in the eco-residential of Águila Real, our project is more than a neighborhood—it’s a living experiment in intentional, regenerative living.
We’re creating a space where individuals and families can thrive together—sharing resources, respecting the land, and co-creating a vibrant, values-aligned community.

Do you feel called to help co-create a small, newly forming eco-spiritual community?

Old structures are crumbling. New ways of living are calling. We are answering that call. Wild Grace is an eco-spiritual community located in the Sierra foothills 30 minutes from Grass Valley, California. We recently completed new homes for those who feel called to our vision. Currently there are four of us living on this sacred 80 acres of land although we are a hub for an expanded neighborhood community. Many join us weekly for potlucks, expressive dance, Qi Gong, monthly musical gatherings, and seasonal celebrations in our temple, as well as tending to our orchard. We are excited to welcome others to join us on the land who are dedicating their lives to spiritual growth and ready to live in a more focused and intimate heart-centered lifestyle.

We listen personally and collectively together most mornings, usually starting with a musical offering, a prayer, or a short reading, followed by about 40 minutes of what we call “sacred silence.” Heart Circles. About once a week we gather to share and listen. We are informed by authentic and compassionate communication practices. Nature. The land itself—an 80-acre oasis of field and forest perched above the wild and scenic South Yuba River—calls for our stewardship in the gardens, orchard, greenhouses, and general care. In turn, nature feeds us abundantly, both literally and spiritually. Interbeing. We join with others to share inspiration and connection as we host monthly gatherings of song, story and prayer that draws from the larger community in addition to other events we share with our closer neighbors. As we attend to these fundamentals, Grace flows to and through us—often in “Wild” or unexpected ways. Grace catalyzes through us, but is not something we possess. Because we all are connected, we feel that Grace actively transforms n
