Protecting the cloudforest, awakening the heart.

A living sanctuary where ancestral plant medicine, rare biodiversity, and conscious human evolution converge — held by 130 hectares (321 acres) of primary cloudforest, with hundreds more under threat.

— Section 01 / Welcome

An invitation

You are invited to participate in a living project where ecology, ancestral wisdom, and conscious human evolution meet.

In the Ecuadorian cloudforest we protect one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth — and host plant medicine retreats that honor the lineages that shaped this land long before us.

— Section 02 / Why this place

A sliver of land
that holds half the world.

Cloudforests cover under 2% of Earth's surface and hold up to 50% of the regional biodiversity around them. Mindo is one of the densest hotspots in the world — home to species found nowhere else, watersheds that feed entire regions, and the climate stability of a bioregion.

Questions, answered.

The things people ask before giving — and what we tell them.

Tax deductibility depends on your country of residence and the legal structure of the contribution. For larger donations, please contact us first so we can guide you through the right pathway for your country.
Every acre and vine sponsor receives GPS coordinates, photos, and ongoing updates. You're welcome to visit and walk your sponsored land in person — during a retreat or by arrangement.
Yes. Sponsors and Guardians can visit during scheduled retreats or by arrangement. Many supporters first encounter the land during a 4-day ayahuasca retreat or San Pedro experience.
Land is held under conservation use only. For Direct Land Ownership and Strategic Parcel Acquisition tiers, we work with donors and Ecuadorian legal counsel to ensure permanent protection through appropriate ownership and easement structures.
Vine sponsorship supports a single sacred ayahuasca plant within the cultivated medicine garden. Acre sponsorship dedicates a full acre of primary or secondary cloudforest under permanent protection in your name or in honor of someone you choose.
Yes. Split contributions are welcome. Families, friend groups, and small communities frequently co-fund a 10-hectare parcel together, with all contributors named on the project record.
