The Space:
Montaia Basecamp
This regenerative co-living space is designed to facilitate communal living in a remote region of California. This is a space of practicing togetherness, where we learn to weave a tapestry of connection between humans and the world around us.
Here at Montaia Basecamp, we focus on developing our relationship to community and to the surrounding wilderness.
The Place:
Eastern Sierra Mountains, CA
Montaia Basecamp is nestled in the neighborhood of Swall Meadows (30min) from the nearby towns of Mammoth lakes and Bishop, CA. Our back door opens into hundreds of miles of Inyo National Forest, a beautiful expanses of wilderness. There are countless hiking trails, world-class bouldering/sport/trad climbing routes, and natural hot springs in the surrounding region.

Community Lifestyle
Communal Meals: Each week, you will cook dinner for the community once - with an assigned cooking partner. This means that you will also be fed dinner by others 4-5 times per week.
Weekly Community Check-In Meeting: Once per week, you will choose a recurring time to gather with your roomates for 90mins. During these meetings, you will check-in with each other, share offers/requests, and design the schedule for the coming week.
Survival Team: Each week, you will be asked tro donate one hour of our time to an outdoors chore on the property such as; chopping wood, turning the compost, cleaning the hot tub, clearing the land for fire prevention, etc.
Spontaneous Adventures: When the people you live with become your best friends (as often ends happening at Montaia Basecamp) you end up with automatic adventure buddies. Backcountry skiing, sunrise hot spring soaks, or bouldering buddies are only a room away.
