Living at InanItah

Become a valued member of our nomadic community as a visitor or a volunteer. InanItah is a place for people comfortable living a simple and rustic lifestyle in harmony with nature. Currently all visitors and volunteers are invited to share dormitory housing or camp outdoors depending on availability. We have recently added one single cabin available for an additional contribution.

As we are now in a building phase, much of our energy is focused in the application of Ecovillage Design and Contemplative Permaculture Design principles. We are currently in the process of constructing buildings, planting gardens and developing operating systems, and can use support in all of these areas. If you have any relevant experience, we welcome helping hands.

We share local and organic foods and the kitchen is available for you to use. Two or three communal meals are prepared daily and you can generally count on local whole grains and fresh fruits as well as homegrown organic vegetables. We have free-range eggs and occasionally prepare fresh milk products like yogurt and ricotta cheese. Many substances including sugar, coffee, tobacco and alcohol alter our consciousness and can potentially lead to addictive patterns. At InanItah we choose to use these substances with awareness and on a limited basis.

Although the daily schedule is organic and flexible, there is a general structure to what happens during the week:

  • Monday – Friday Sunrise: Meditations (OSHO Meditations, 5 Rhythms, Quantum Light Breath, Silent Sitting, Life Dance etc.)
  • Monday – Friday: Volunteer Workflow Meetings/Community Meeting
  • Monday – Friday: Daily Yoga Classes
  • Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday Evening: Transparency circle
  • Saturday and Sunday: Weekends here are relaxed and open, with fewer people around onsite. If you prefer getting settled into a tranquil environment with a lot of freedom and more limited orientation support, consider arriving during a weekend. If you are someone who would enjoy receiving an in-depth orientation upon your arrival, consider arriving during the week. 

Fundacion InanItah is a registered US based non-profit educational organization working closely with the InanItah community to provide live-in experiential educational experiences, workshops and classes, as well as social and educational programs for the local Nicaraguan community.
