Community Spaces
Let’s treat all our shared spaces with care and respect. Quiet hours are in place to ensure everyone enjoys peace and tranquility, especially considering the wildlife around us.
Quiet hours
9pm - 6am
No loud music before 9:00 am or after 8:00 pm weeknights, 10:00 pm weekends
The Hive
Our main community hub - please wash your dishes and leave no trace. We have free Wifi at the hive.
Appliances
Fridge:
Feel free to leave food in the fridge. We recommend you label it and be sure to take only your own food out.
Stove:
Turn on the gas (it is on the corner facing the baby pool). There should be a lighter in the cutlery drawer to the right of the stove for the oven. There's a small hole at the bottom of the oven- put the lighter and turn the knob to where it's for lighting and then once it's lit, you adjust the temperature. You can see a flame in the reflection of the oven door. TURN OFF THE GAS, WHEN FINISHED please.
Lights:
Most light switches are in a box at the entrance on the right. Other light switches are in the kitchen, toilets and in the halls to the sinks. If you are the last to leave the hive - TURN OFF THE LIGHTS please.
Pool
There is no lifeguard, so please watch your little ones and shower before using the pool. The lights for the pool are at the box at the entrance on the right.
Hot tub
Turn on the electric heating next to the hot tub. Note it takes hours to heat it. Switch it off again, when not used.
The Yoga Shala
This peaceful space is for reflection and yoga. Please take your shoes off before entering, and note that the compost toilet has special instructions—liquids in front, toilet paper behind, and a scoop of sawdust on your solids. There is a maximum of 65 people. Supervise your little ones. The Wifi password is: yogashala
Farm and Harvest
Our abundant farm is a gift we share. You vote for your basket in the residents chat on mondays. The harvest happens every Tuesday morning, and we appreciate your help with the harvest. Also we’d love your help in gathering fruit from the trees along the roadside. If you spot any ripe fruit, let Tavo know so he can coordinate with the farm workers to collect it for the community.
Alegría Weekly HarvestFirepit
Our firepit is a wonderful place to gather, but please be sure to follow safety rules—there’s a hose nearby, and remember to fully extinguish the fire afterward. No fires during the hottest months, please.
Activities
In our community we come together to plant trees and mulch, do Yoga and exercise, dance, enjoy sound baths, go on hikes, have potlucks, and more! Check out our community calendar for upcoming events, and if you'd like to host one, take a look at the guidelines.
