Welcome to Sacred Sueños
Sacred Sueňos is a forming community on 90 hectares of beautiful but degraded land, located on a mountainside about a two hour hike from Vilcabamba, Ecuador. Its’ vision is to create possibilities for humanity to live within a functioning ecosystem.
Currently, there are two projects on the land. The founding site is now called the Seed Camp, a small homestead pioneered 7 years ago on land so degraded by decades of unsustainable agricultural practices that nearly nothing could grow in the soil. Much has changed, with the dedicated help of volunteers and residents. Though it’s still a few years from full recovery, the land has now improved to the point of providing several nutritious gardens within an agroforest, as well as a recently planted orchard. Infrastructure has been constructed on this site to house eight to fourteen residents, generally visitors, volunteers, interns, and prospective members of the Sacred Sueňos community. If you’re interested in a unique experience volunteering in Ecuador, this is where you would be staying.
A new project within Sacred Sueňos is the Regenerative Andean Design institute (RADi), which will become a center for experimenting with and demonstrating techniques and technologies which can improve the lives of poor Andean farmers, while increasing biodiversity, soil fertility, and the general well being of the land. RADi is currently constructing its’ main building.
Beyond these two projects, there are many other beautiful plots of land where people can manifest their own sacred dreams within the community’s vision. We look forward to growing into the future!
