Finca Sagrada (Sacred Land Farm) is a biodynamic farm community nestled in an isolated sacred valley in the mountains of Southern Ecuador. The property is diversified with approximately twenty acres of irrigated pastures, food forest and gardens, plus an additional eight hundred acres of mountain land, bounded by a river and stream. Walter and Susan Davis Moora moved from the States to Ecuador in 2007 and shortly after bought Finca Sagrada. Walter has been a Biodynamic farmer for fifty two years and Susan has been a leader in the social investment industry, often called the godmother of social investing.
Finca sagrada has been designated as Sacred Land, considered a portal to higher realms, consecrated by Kogi Mamos (sacred priests), indigenous shaman from South America who have performed sacred rituals and authorized the building of a structure known as the “House of Original Thought,” the presence of which deeply enhances visitors’ connection to the sacred in nature.
As keepers of sacred lands, we are in service to Earth and we are living in reciprocity with her bounty. We are building a community that honors the sacredness of the land and supports the diversity of its members, allowing us to experience and practice a flow of generosity, and to find our true roles as co-creators of life on Earth.
We envision a thriving community that is multicultural, multi-generational and has a variety of socio-economic levels. This would include farmers, healers, teachers, innovators, digital nomads, and retirees who feel drawn to our mission statement and our vision. Housing will include a mix of community and private dwellings.
