Our purpose: Yupaichani means “thank you Pachamama, which includes Earth, Sky and all the beings” in the Quechua language. Our purpose is to create a replicable sustainable model of preserving corridors of land that integrate human settlement and organic regenerative agriculture. To enhance mutual respect and interconnection between the people, the land and all the living beings on the land within the framework of a productive farm. To create a model of humans and nature living in symbiosis. To create a living demonstration of a balanced agro-ecosystem.
Forming a small land-based cooperative with consensus decision-making, with these goals:
Making ongoing choices to help heal ourselves and heal the land.
Supporting local and organic agriculture, Permaculture, healing arts, and arts as healing--all this as an education center and place where people can come and learn in many different ways such as workshops, internships and volunteer positions.
Practicing social structures of mutual respect.
Seeking new economic models that do not involve exploitation of land and/or people.
Making choices to enhance ecological balance, social justice and spiritual fulfillment for those directly involved in our project, and beyond.
Encouraging profit-sharing, employee-owned business, employee-initiated businesses, and diverse forms of collaboration as found in cottage industry.
Finding ways to move away from labor being bought and sold.
We have 3 lots that are currently for sale, available with the full legal deeds. They are approximately 1,000 square meters, plenty of land for a robust garden and a nice house. We have lots of gardens with an abundance of food growing. We are located 5 minutes from Vilcabamba center by car, and a pleasant 25 minute walk.
If this looks interesting to you, let's meet up and get to know each other. See our Home page under Contacts.
