Rental terms

Rental fee: One part of your contribution covers the rental of your individual space in our coliving together with the usage of the entire community environment. This is of 300 € (small budget), 450 € (moderate) or 600 € (abundance).

TogetherTreasuries: The other part of your contribution is directed to the communal cash which covers the communal food supply and provides communal resources, especially in Valle de Sensaciones. This is 300 € (small budget), 450 € (moderate) or 600 € (abundance).

Organizational and legal differences: The rental payments and TogetherTreasuries are two separate budgets handled by different entities.

• The Coliving House, a personal venture of Achim Burkard and his partner Goddess Melanin involves the rental payments made directly to them.
• On the other hand, TogetherTreasuries are administered by the Association Valle de Sensaciones, the entity responsible for operating the Ecovillage Laboratory. This budget mainly covers the communal food consumed in both locations, besides encompassing various communal resources used exclusively within the laboratory, such as burning wood and gas.

The coliving venture "Resonance Hub" operates as a personal business, while the Ecovillage Laboratory "Valle de Sensaciones" functions as a non-profit initiative managed by the Association.

Deposit for Reservation: To secure the reservation for each cycle, a deposit of 300 € per cycle must be transferred.; The remaining amount is due at the beginning of each cycle.

Security Deposit: Upon arrival, a security deposit of 300 € must be paid. The security deposit is intended to cover any potential damages or outstanding payments. It will be fully refunded at the end of your stay if everything is in order.

Private rooms, pods, and other individual spaces: Your reservation, along with the associated deposit, secures a designated private room or pod in the Resonance Hub, our coliving house. Furthermore, you have access to individual spaces within Valle de Sensaciones. While specific spaces in Valle de Sensaciones are not reserved in advance, their selection is a communal process. These choices can evolve during your stay, allowing for a diverse range of experiences and lifestyles to be explored. Find more information here.
