Thank you for expressing your interest in InanItah!
InanItah is a growing Eco-Spirit community. With the help of volunteers and a crew of local Nicaraguans, many beautiful things have been created here and there is still much to create.
We love to connect with mutually supportive souls and to expand the evolution of humanity toward a communitarian way of life, a way of life that harmonizes nature with spirit. We practice voluntary simplicity, conditions here are rustic and lush at the same time, with outdoor camping and dormitory spaces, private cobb cabins, outdoor showers and composting toilets. Cooking is done on both fire and gas stoves and we operate without refrigeration. And we have beautiful spring water pools for relaxing and enjoying the view.
We offer active meditations and yoga during the weekdays, and hold a weekly transparency circle. Volunteers are also invited to join the various workshops and events at InanItah.
Please take some time to complete the application below. Feel free to be yourself and provide simple and concise responses. We look forward to learning about you!
To create clarity and help things run smoothly, we request that all volunteers and visitors carefully read the following information before making their decision to join the community. Please feel welcome to send us an email if you would like clarification on any of these points.
