Forty people, sixty hectares, one long conversation.

A land community in the hills above Valle de Bravo, started in 2019. We grow food, raise children, and make decisions together. Slowly, on purpose.

How we live

Three agreements hold the whole thing up

The land is held in common

A cooperative owns it. Members have the right to live and build, not to sell a plot to a stranger.

We decide by consent

Weekly circles, a sociocratic structure, and nothing passes while anyone has a reasoned objection.

Everyone gives eight hours

A week to the shared work: gardens, kitchen, children, building, accounts. Money is shared transparently.
