Located in Masaya, Nicaragua

Mission Statement
Evolving our consciousness. Being kind, forgiving and finding peace within. Sustainablity.

Community Description
We are a spiritual community in the heart of Nicaragua. Our focus is on creating a sustainable, healthy, joyous community. We inhabit a large farm and are constantly growing our food forest, the gardens, the herds and comfort zones. The land is secure and free from debt, taxes are low and food and lodging is some of the cheapest in the world.

We pursue an organic, communal, sustainable way of life, with the intent being to have a more beautiful and productive farm, community and planet at the end of the day. We have some 60 mango trees, lots of citrus and coconut trees as well as many other fruit trees, while four large fields are on the property. Central to the monastery is a huge open air rancho for yoga and community events. We are easy to get to by bus, taxi, car and bike as the land fronts a road going to the Laguna de Apoyo, which has allowed us to open a small food stand as a way to generate income and be creative. We are almost self-sufficient in fixed expenses.

We tend to focus on being present and peaceful, creating diverse income streams, alternative building and permaculture projects. There is plenty of time for yoga, music, meditation, swimming, being creative and evolving. The pacific ocean is two hours away and Granada ten 10 minutes. Nicaragua seems to be on the radar for many good reasons, with some being the government is small, the people are friendly, obtaining residency is relatively easy and there is ample time to relax and be Present as life is simple here.

Proactive, spiritually conscious people do best here, yet everyone is encouraged to visit, especially perpetual travelers whom may be looking for a community to contribute too, in exchange for a place to build a home sooner or later.

We endeavor to honor the fact that first and foremost we are a global family: We are honored to share what we have, give what we can and we evolve by letting go of who we think we are, while opening up to allowing the Divine to act thru us. Our spiritual focus tends to be Non-duality as it is simple and direct and recently changed our name as we like the “feel” and filter of living in a modern monastery as opposed to the modern world. We currently embrace the teaching of Dr. Joe Dispenza, as the fastest scientific method we have found to create mental coherence, Personal Presence and spiritual growth within the body/mind. We have been working the land and improving the structures for 9 years and are looking to share what we have created with other kindred souls, so if your ready to jump out of the matrix and experience an alternative reality we’re here to help you make the transition.

From the Dead Sea Scrolls: “If you give Birth to what is inside you it will save you.”
From Dr. Joe Dispenza: “Be inspired by your own greatness”.

“The risk of catastrophe will be very high. The nation could erupt into insurrection or civil violence, crack up geographically, or succumb to authoritarian rule. If there is a war, it is likely to be one of maximum risk and effort – in other words, a total war. Every Fourth Turning has registered an upward ratchet in the technology of destruction, and in mankind’s willingness to use it.” – Strauss & Howe – The Fourth Turning
