Location
VerdEnergia Pacifica Permaculture Farm
We are honored and grateful to partner VerdEnergia Pacifica and The Jungle Academy of Arts and Permaculture to make your retreat extra special.
At VerdEnergia Pacifica Permaculture Farm, you will experience the profound connection between divine nature and natural wellness. The farm's off-grid jungle-lifestyle encourages participants to unplug from daily distractions and immerse themselves in the beauty of the surrounding jungle. You'll find yourself surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant wildlife, and the soothing sounds of nature, creating an ideal backdrop for reflection and rejuvenation.
VerdEnergia was founded in 2006 by a small group of friends who had a vision for creating a sustainable future for their families and yours. What started as a degraded, deforested cattle farm has been transformed into the lush jungle that it once was. More than 150,000 trees were planted to reforest the land and create a permaculture, returning the land to as close to its natural state as possible.



"We envision a world of diverse, empowered, and conscious communities sharing a healthy, balanced planet."
