Basic Information about Authentic Relating Village
Authentic Relating Village is a newly-formed (January 2024) Intentional Community and retreat center near Ajijic / Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico. We are about an hour from Guadalajara airport (GDL), or two-day drive from Laredo, Texas. Our focus is on community, deep-connection practices, creativity & self-expression, health & wellness, and conscious business development. We have room for 6-8 people each month at very low pricing of $250-$550 per person. The lower end of the scale is for double-occupancy at an adjacent hotel, i.e. a couple or close friends. Food and transport is extra.
There are four ways of engaging here:
The first way is to join one of our local Practical Relational Leadership Courses, on-the-ground here in Ajijic and happening monthly.
The second way is to join one of our 3-day, 7-day or 10-day Residential Retreat Intensives in Authentic Relating.
The third way is to come for a 1 month (or more) “Authentic Relating vacation”. Do a deep immersion into our process which is called Practical Relational Leadership, experience this beautiful and popular Mexican expat destination, have as much fun and derive as much learning as possible, and then go home.
And the fourth way is to come with an intention of joining our community longer-term. This option will be especially interesting to people wanting to co-create an Authentic Relating intentional community. You can read about that on our Permanent Residence page.
If our initial experiment is successful, we may be looking eventually to buy our own place and create a full-on eco-village with agricultural operations and functioning as a kind of human transformational utopia.
The month-long option is well-suited to “digital nomads”, people who run a business remotely.
We are especially interested in partnering with and supporting people creating AR businesses and related ventures. The Authentic Relating Village is currently the home of the Authentic Singles project and there may be income opportunities by helping us to develop that model.
We are enrolling now for the March 2024 (and ongoing) residential retreat programs.
