Connect. Support. Inspire.
This longterm co-living experience is designed for individuals and couples seeking to spend between 3 to 12 months in a remote setting, surrounded by expansive nature and equally badass community. This is a call for those who feel inspired to engage more fully with the process of dropping into shared presence and embracing the nuances of a simple, connected, high-functioning lifestyle. Our goal is to steward an atmosphere of open & honest communication, service-to-others over service-to-self, and exploration into group dynamics.
During this pod, we will be engaging in self-exploration and co-creation while incorporating various aspects of healthy lifestyle. Together we will be actively “re-thinking community” and collaborating on ways to make co-habitation a skill that we can each carry into our current relationships and future habitation-ships.

Longterm Co-living
Are you ready to enter into a space of supportive community, self-discipline, and expansive life engagement?
As a society, we are recognizing more and more the importance of community. The isolation that many of us faced during the lockdowns of 2020-2021 further confirmed our need for more opportunities to work, live, and thrive together as human beings. In fact, you could say that the future of healthy society relies on our ability to learn how to live and grow in community.
Connection to ourself,
Connection to each other,
Connection to the natural world.
The Space:
Montaia Basecamp
This regenerative co-living space is designed to facilitate community living experiences. This is a space of true togetherness, where we learn to yield to the field and dance in the rhythms of life's ups and downs, weaving a tapestry of human connection.
Together, we focus on developing healthy relationships with self, with community, and with the wilderness around us.
The Place:
Eastern Sierra Mountains, CA
Montaia Basecamp is nestled in the heart of the Eastern Sierra. Our back door opens into millions of acres of the Inyo National Forest, one of the most beautiful and wildest wilderness expanses in the country. There are hundreds of trails and world-class rock climbing within an hour’s drive. The closest towns are Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, California.

Activities & Adventures
In addition to a cozy cabin to live and work from, we invite you to come experience the wild ruggedness of the Eastern Sierra Mountains of California.
There are endless opportunities for adventures in the area including local hot springs, skiing/snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, bouldering, thousands of hiking trails, desert sand dunes, alpine lakes for cold plunges, and much more.
At home, we will connect through activities such as community meals, yoga & workout sessions, music jam nights, dance parties, game nights, hot tub star gazing, and monthly skill shares.
