Terra Frutis
in Gualaquiza
A homesteading intentional community
focused on planting a food forest (in tropical Ecuador) aimed at sustainably feeding 20+ people on a plant-based diet.
Vision
We envision a world with many self-governing, intentional communities, living off the land sustainably and caring for the environment, animals and humans.
Mission
Our mission is to be a vegan intentional community, taking inspiration from agroforestry, permaculture and syntropic agriculture to produce abundant and diverse food for a healthy, high raw vegan diet, in an environment where animals and humans thrive together.
We hope to be an inspiration and to share our knowledge and methods with other communities.
We practise sustainability, non-violent communication and consensus based decision-making, and seek self reliance.
Our core principles:
-
We do not have a central leader, we govern ourselves non-hierarchically with consensus.
-
Whole food plant-based diet and healthy vegan lifestyle
-
Abstinence from psychoactive substances.
-
Non-violence towards animals (including humans).
-
Permaculture ethics.

Lumicon is a luscious eco retreat center and fruit forest community at the gateway to the Amazon. Our center provides the perfect setting for connecting with nature, body, mind, and soul.
Vision & Mission
We work towards reconnecting with the natural world around us along with our inner selves. Our mission is to grow, to learn, and to cleanse by keeping our eyes, our hearts, and our minds open. With a focus on increasing our consciousness, flexibility, and respect for others and the planet's living forms, we are working hard to create a more sustainable way of living. We reconect with original native wisdom too grow everything from exotic fruit trees from all over the world to lost and forgotten local crops and (in)famous medicinal plants. You can call our retreat center a food forest, a self-healing center, or a new way to live and reconnect. We don't adhere to any particular organization, religion, or spiritual practice, rather we believe in creating a space for people of similar vibrations and ideas. Join us in the Amazon to recover your connection with your true essence!
Typically we adhere to a vegan or fruitarian lifestyle mostly raw.

Las Aguas Risas
in Limon-Indanza
Las Aguas Risas is a Veganic Permaculture Fruit Forest Intentional Community and Forest Reserve in the High Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador.
Mission Statement
Las Aguas Risas goal is to protect and nurture Pachamama with minimal invasive impact. Peaceful, simple, vegan, minimalist, non-exploitative living, preservation (forever), conservation, respect, non-violence. Reforest with fruit trees and native species.
Goals & Objectives
- Our goal is to protect and nurture Pachamama with minimal invasive impact.
- We are transforming degraded pastureland, restoring native forest and productive fruit forest.
- We are a fully vegan environmentally-conscious eco-community. Members must be vegan, in accordance with the vegan society definition of veganism and understand what that means (not just plant-based, raw, fruitarian, flexitarian, or any other -tarian). Residents, volunteers, guests, and visitors, must understand and adhere to vegan principles at all times (on and off property) while staying at the community.
- Priorities: Pachamama, inclusivity (non-discrimination based on race, creed, sexual orientation, gender identity), species
- Goals/Visions: Peaceful, simple, minimalist, non-exploitative living, Preservation (forever), Conservation, respect, non-violence. Reforest with fruit trees and native species
- 7th Generation Principle: The 7th Generation Principle is based on an ancient Iroquois philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world 7 generations into the future. Las Aguas Risas adheres to this principle in all decision making.
- Population Growth: Non-wildlife population growth - human, companion animal and “livestock” - is out of control globally, with immense negative impacts on wildlife and Pachamama. Las Aguas Risas is committed to reducing and reversing non-wildlife population growth. To this end, within the community we strongly discourage breeding, both human and non-human.
