About.

ALYA means 'ascension' / 'to rise'. 

At Alya our mission is to raise our vibration, open our hearts and live as sovereign beings in harmony with our Mother Earth and natural cycles, in order to support the healing of the Earth and awakening of humanity. Alya is a safe space for authentic relating, self-expression, creativity, healing and transformation. 

Alya began as a retreat center and eco-lodge in 2009. We are now building the foundations for a sustainable future, learning more about ourselves and the land every day, seeking like-minded tribe members to support us on this journey and be part of something truly unique from early stages. There is scope and potential for the right people to make a real impact. 

We have a range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. Our standard work exchange commitment is 25 hours per week and includes food.

Alya has been operating as a retreat center for the last 10 years and recently evolved into a conscious community. Our current priorities are becoming more self-sufficient and sustainable, exploring permaculture principles, growing our own food, expanding our accommodations and building a natural swimming pool.
