Welcome to the Finca Argayall
In the language of the native people of the Canary Islands our name means “place of light”. We live on a 1,4 acre estate (”finca” in Spanish) directly on the Atlantic Ocean in a secluded and wild bay.
About Us
Project Argayall was founded in 1986 with the intention to create an alternative, experimental and experiential community.The desire for the alternative of community life in this beautiful and unique setting forms the base of our vision here on the Finca.
At any given time around 22 - 26 people live here. Our ability to share this magical and powerful place with others (our paying guests) gives us the ground to keep this experiment alive and healthy.
Welcoming Guests
We welcome guests for room and board and invite groups as well as organize our own seminars and workshops.
We have a special reverence for the transformational and magical power of the land on which we live and are happy to share it with our guests.
How We Organize Ourselves
Our organisational structure is a simple hierarchy.
It starts with the shareholders who have given their time, their heart and money into the project.
There is a management team who gives direction and oversees the general operation of the communityand the busines. We organize ourselves in different departments with one person who is the department leader.
The permanent crew consists of about 15 people.To give as many people as possible the chance to experience community life we have a number of positions for shorter terms.
Ideology
We have no fixed ideological or religious dogmas or beliefs nor do we, as a group, follow any particular teacher or “master”. Each individual is on his or her way, and we hope to support that process in whatever way is possible.
Meditation techniques, group process, Satsang, respect, self-resposibility, authenticity, integrity, creativity, having fun, dancing, and doing nothing are some of the qualities and activities that we value.
For all of us it is a gift to be here, and we hope that those, who either are our guests or join us in working in community, will feel the same.
