What we do

A Coliving and Coworking environment to find resonance through communal exploration and your authentic flow in a broad field of opportunities: community, deep communication, trust, free eros, co-working, creativity & art, self-responsibility, paradise environment, permaculture, Andalusian village life,…
We invite you to share our ready made extraordinary environment for short or long stays and to experience individual transformation and cultural co-creation. Coworking spaces with fiber internet combined with a flexible daily flow provide a supportive environment for personal or communal projects. Our coliving community is nestled in our friendly Andalusian village offering rooms and individual apartments for rent, with the opportunity to extend our life and activities organically to our nearby Ecovillage Laboratory – an artistic paradise where we also host short term participants and events.
Our paradise valley invites exploration, celebration, learning, and sanctuary. Here we enjoy treehouses, cave spaces, the ‘Spa’ glass temple with a hot tub, the ‘Moon temple’ as a sacred space for feminine empowerment and healing, the medicine wheel, a natural pool, and much more. The valley is a place of inherent magic, offered to us by Mother Earth, and cultivated over more than two decades of life’s sensations, emotions, learning, and transformative journeys, all celebrated in an organic flow of communal exploration.

Our Mission

Creating a connected field of trust
The primary objective of the “Resonancia Community” is to cultivate a vibrant, interconnected community space founded on trust.
We bring together people who carry the vibe of a new culture. Welcome Artists of Change, Sensual Alchemists, Resonance Magicians, Nomadic Dream Weavers, Dancers of Transformation, Visionaries of the New.
Prioritizing inclusivity, we provide a highly flexible contribution model.
A wide array of activities enhances our shared experience, from communal food preparation and meals to regular talking stick circles, hot tub and whirlpool sessions, full moon parties, and much more

How to join

All integration starts with joining our Coliving for a few months. If a special resonance arises, there are many options to purchase houses or land in our local village.

Basic expectations or agreements for members

Visit our website at https://resonancia.community and fill out the presentation form you will find by clicking the “Join” button.
You will have two options to temporarily join our community:
Join our Coliving: Rent a room or an apartment in our coliving houses within our small, friendly Andalusian village. You’ll have full access to the entire environment, inclusive our paradise valley and all amenities, including food and activities, with a minimum stay of two months.
Participate in the Ecovillage Laboratory: Engage with the community dynamics in our paradise valley, Valle de Sensaciones, with flexible stays ranging from a single weekend to several weeks. You pay day by day and can enjoy nature spaces like treehouses, clay houses, caravans, and outdoor beds.

Primary decision-making authority

  • Small Leadership Group

A few people (not elected by the broader community) make the major decisions.

Decision-making process

  • Leadership Decides

A single person, couple, or small group makes most major decisions.

Governance structure

  • Founder/Leader-led

Primary authority rests with the community’s founder(s) or designated leader(s).

Conflict resolution approach

Our main goal is to explore resonance within a group of people who join this exploration temporarily, for periods ranging from a few weeks to many months. We work within a defined framework and an agreement field that forms the foundation for how our human dynamics unfold.
Long-term decisions are made by those who hold the legal and economic responsibility. With the allies who settle in the neighborhood, we collaborate in a horizontal way, where each has their own area of self-realization, along with individual freedom and responsibilities.
Agreement field
Our specialized field of agreements serves as the foundational framework for establishing a community space rooted in an extraordinary cultural codex. The core values encapsulated within these agreements include:
Embracing Resonance … while relinquishing expectations and goal-oriented focus.
Self-Responsibility: Taking full responsibility for the nature of one’s own experience.
Authentic Self-Realization … in an environment free from judgment and embracing sex-positivity.
Conscious Communication: Committing to non-violence, honesty, and deep sharing.

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.
