 Live Here. Work Here. Grow Here.
Vida Clara Village (VCV) is a growth oriented community for people seeking truth and freedom. We live quiet lives in the beauty of pristine nature. We enjoy abundant good health and authentic relationships with one another. We are each on our own contemplative spiritual paths and work together to grow individually and as a group. Each day we devote time and energy to our organic farm and gardens and plan to be nearly self-sufficient over time.
What You Get:
* Learn and grow with a conscious group of people seeking truth and living it.
* Learn about Natural Hygiene for greater health in mnd and body.
* A healthy, simple and pure off-grid lifestyle in tropical Belize.
* Enjoyment of 40 pristine acres
* Organic fruit from our orchard. (The papayas and bananas are producing now, 1-2 years until our other fruit trees start bearing)
* Pure water from our natural spring.
* Shared social activities as desired, such as meals and playing music
* Individual mentoring as desired
* Spiritual discussion groups and meditations
* Support and guidance in making a smooth transition to Belize. Skip all the hard knocks most people go through in making a life here.
What You Give:
* Help in the orchard, grounds and general maintenance about 3 hours a day, or more as needed for special circumstances.
* Willingness to work hard with us in body, mind, and spirit. We expect you to give of yourself 100%, and we do the same.
* Take care of the dogs and grounds when we are away, which may be from a few days to a few months.
You build your own shelter. If you like, you can just build a room for yourself to relax and sleep and use our community kitchen, etc. Simple structures can be built quite inexpensively.
Although the cost of living is very low here, your own financial means of support is necessary before you arrive in Belize, such as savings, an Internet business, etc.
Are You?
* Fit and healthy?
* On an active spiritual path and seeking a life of truth in thought and action?
* Ready for a simple life in nature?
* Already living a natural health lifestyle?
* Rugged outdoor type with camping experience?
* Tolerant of heat and humidity?
* Honest and trustworthy?
* Assertive and open?
* Emotionally stable?
* Independent?
* A introspective type who needs peace, time alone and privacy?
