Overview:

We are reimagining what’s possible from life and designing an optimized model of living to share with the world. At Kalu Yala, student-interns and young professionals are given the opportunity to apply their passions in the real world. They work as part of our first civic institution, the research and development team. Team members utilize their studies in the search for best practices in sustainability and quality living. Unlike other education programs, we insist on exploration.

Spud’s Thoughts:

If you are looking for an ecovillage project in the making, check this group out. They got a lot of publicity thanks to Viceland following their story to produce ‘Jungletown’. I’ve traveled to a variety of similar spaces and have seen both good and bad models for what it looks like to properly engage with the surrounding community. It seems a bit expensive compared to some other groups I’ve been a part of, but you may be able to find scholarship opportunities.
