About.
Located on the Pacific coast of Isla los Brasiles in Nicaragua, the lodge is a beachfront Eco-resort, a natural building school and a workshops/retreat platform. Following the principles of permaculture, Carpe Diem was built over the last 5 years by over 700 international volunteers from our natural building school. Over 90% of building structures were built with natural or recycled materials. We are solar powered and use water directly from man-made wells on site. Half of the 1 hectare piece of land is forested and serves as a camping area and fruit farm, while the front is a stunning sunny area where guests can enjoy the main community space. Compost toilets and showers are scattered throughout the premises for your convenience.
The space is a co-living space where tasks are devided between residents and volunteers to create a clean, enjoyable place for everyone!
Update 2020 : we are looking for people welling to help out to manage the place. You can also arrive with your own vision!
Apart from acquiring important natural building techniques, guests and volunteers can enjoy activities such as sunset volleyball, surfing, yoga, acro yoga, meditation, flow arts and a variety of workshops etc. We also also dance our butts off and drop into ceremonies when appropriate.
