Details
Description
We are an international community of people sharing the vision to make knowledge revolving around natural building free and accessible to the most amount of people possible. Because we make no money out of natural building, we are also a Lodge and retreat center to generate the income we need to pursue our mission.
Located on the Pacific coast of Isla Los Brasiles in Nicaragua, the lodge is a co-living space and educational center where guests and volunteers can experience life in a community, learn about many things including sustainability, and contribute to the well-being of the local communities.
We have decided to enact a social enterprise model rather than a traditional non-profit. Like this, we do not depend upon donations and can create long-term sustainable projects with the local community.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will have the opportunity to learn about permaculture and natural building, discover another culture and language (Spanish). What more, you will be submerged in the experience of living in community with people from all around the world. Here you will both have the chance to learn from others while also share what you know, begin or deepen your yoga and meditation practice and last but not least, enjoy the beautiful beach that is only meters away.
Help
The place has been closed for more than 3 years so the main focus will be the restauration of the ecolodge. From Monday to Friday the days start at 7am with a free optional 1 hour yoga session. At 9am we carry out the daily chores including, watering plants & trees and a general cleaning of the premises. We then gather for 2h30 hours of guided hands-on bio-construction workshop that comprises of different building techniques like cob, light straw, round wood carpentry, earthen floor, natural plaster, thatch roof, etc. From time to time, we also organize community projects like beach cleaning and encourage the creation of art projects. Weekends are off for everyone.

Accommodation
We have a beautiful forested area where you can camp with your own gear. If you don`t have any gear or need more comfort, you can rent a cabana or space in the dormitory. There are 3 outside showers and 2 compost toilets for your convenience. For food, you can either organize your own food or buy a meal package from the project (access to the kitchen is granted for communal food only).
Please try to arrive on a weekday before sunset to enjoy the most of the experience (as most of people are off for little expeditions in weekends). One week minimum is required.
What else ...
Apart from learning about sustainable building and co-living practices, volunteers can also enjoy activities such as sunset volleyball, surfing, yoga, acro yoga, meditation, flow arts and a variety of workshops. We also dance our butts off and drop into ceremonies when appropriate. We also encourage volunteers to organize workshops at the lodge so they can share their knowledge, make extra income and learn how to live from their passion.
Don't forget, it is a co-living space, EVERYONE has to do their part to make the place livable =)
