Living Standards

Living @ Vedic Eco Village

We cultivate an environment of integrity, authenticity, and ahimsa, non-violence.

  • Respect for all people and paths
  • Minimal screen time, devices, etc.
  • Minimal plastics. We’re each responsible for the garbage we bring in and generate.
  • No smoking, alcohol or drug use
  • No scents, perfumes, deodorants, chemical shampoos or detergents
  • No outdoor fires from June to October.
  • No gas-powered tools or generators
  • No gas-powered vehicles, motorcycles, quads, atv, etc

No drugs, alcohol, or smoking – your body is the temple of your soul

Vedic philosophy places emphasis on health and wellness, as these are conducive to opening up your body, mind and soul for spiritual practice and higher thinking. Thus, intoxicants (drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc.) are not permitted in the village.

Cleanliness and serenity – a clean environment and body support a healthy mind

Our community values cleanliness and the resulting positive energy very highly. Therefore, we show each other respect by maintaining cleanliness at all times, in personal hygiene as well as our buildings.

Eating Standards

One principle most Eastern philosophies have in common is “ahimsa”, or non-violence towards all living entities. This is why you won’t find any meat, fish and eggs here, and why we also avoid animal products like gelatin, animal fats and commercial dairy. 

Thanks in advance for not bringing any meat, fish or egg products to the farm.

Even Energy Exchange

We provide accommodations, produce from the garden & root cellar, clean spring water, solar showers, internet and power.

People do not pay to live here, or get paid - this helps to maintain good friendships.  No money is exchanged, rather goods (ie. food, crafts), knowledge (ie: skills, wisdom), and services (ie. farm labour, construction) are invested.
