Seven Ways to Experience Flow Forest Farm

Rooted & Working, a Two-to-Four-Week Living Immersion

Live on the Farm. Learn by Doing. Wake With the Birds.

PHP 500 / night · 2–4 weeks

This is not a working holiday, and it's not a resort with chores. It's a stay where you become part of the land's daily rhythm: early mornings, honest work in the soil, meals made from what we harvested that morning, and the deep rest that real work brings. You leave with regenerative skills you can use anywhere, and often with a quieter, clearer sense of what "enough" feels like.

PHP 500 per night covers your accommodation and every meal, all from farm produce. Space is currently limited, so it's best to reach out well ahead of your dates. A simple volunteer agreement is signed before you arrive.

Hands in the Soil, Whole-Day Farm Immersion

Walk the Land Barefoot. Watch the Birds. Listen to the Trees.

Join in the food growing and processing.

A guided half-day or full-day immersion in the farm's ecology. The tour covers a little bit of everything: no-till forest farming, natural building, and slow food processing.

• Wildlife watching
• Barefoot nature walking
• Listening to understand the trees
• Dehydrating herbs with our mud smoker
• Making coconut oil and virgin coconut oil
• Treating wood and bamboo with fermented fruits
• Making dough for a pizza party with our mud oven
• Picking fruits and turning them into juices and sodas
• Fermenting vegetables to serve as side dishes for lunch
• Foraging weeds and flowers to turn into salads and teas
• Building rain-fed garden beds that survive consecutive hot days
• Foraging mycelium and starchy vegetables to turn into biofertilizers
• Systematically turning wood, bamboo, and coconuts into biochar

The Day Farm Tour essentially offers a simpler, slower, healthier and more intentional way of living. Each farm tour is different though. It depends on what's available and what everyone is interested in.

Diving Deep & Expanding, Several Days Farm Exploration

Learn Something That Cannot Be Unlearned.

Flow Forest Farm runs retreats and workshops. These are not motivational and competitive events. They are learning and unlearning experiences that send participants home with a new skill they can immediately use the next day. This includes experiencing powerful inner shifts in self-awareness, identity, and perspective, to show up in a way that the world needs.

• Indigenous Permaculture Designing & Natural Building with Malaya Permakultura
• Harvesting, Treating, Building with Bamboo with Green Roots Solutions, Inc.
• Learning Sociocracy Through Nature Games with Maya Flows
• Living Our Human Design with Conscious Heart Creations
• Acroyoga and Thai Massage with Lilli Breininger
• Seed Saving Classes with Global Seed Savers
• Healing Ayurvedic Herbs with Alaska Ordona
• Slow Food Processing with Chef Paola Amad
• Sound Healing with Moon Tribe Project
• Breathwork with Kareena Rei Lagman
• Drum Circle with Neil Cervantes
• Breathwork with Ellie Avancy

All of the farm's retreats and workshops integrate the teaching of technical skills with inner work. The purpose is to help participants digest what they're learning and be more purposeful and intentional in transforming themselves and influencing the world.

Side by Side, a Half or Whole-Day Team Immersion

A Team Building Experience That Doesn't Feel Like One.

No trust falls, no scoreboards, no forced fun. Just a team working shoulder to shoulder on real farm tasks: planting, harvesting, building, cooking, and discovering how they truly communicate, share, and lead when the work is meaningful and the setting is alive. People come back having seen each other, and themselves, a little differently.

• Customized half-day or full-day programs for groups of up to 100, with several facilitators for larger gatherings
• Real, hands-on farm work, not simulations
• Shared meals cooked from the day's harvest
• Guided nature walks through the food forest and watershed
• Nature-based games that quietly reveal how your team really works together
• A slower pace that makes room for honest conversation

Tell us about your group and what you're hoping for, and we'll shape the day around it. Each program is different. It depends on the season, your people, and what the land is ready to teach.

Roots & Wonder, a Hands-On Day for Young Learners

The Classroom That Actually Teaches Them Where Food Comes From.

Children learn most when they can touch, smell, taste, and do. Here, lessons aren't on a screen. They're in the soil, the trees, and the birdsong. Students see a whole living system at work, ask real questions, and leave with dirt under their nails and something growing to take home.

• Age-appropriate tours for ages 6 to 18
• Hands-on activities: planting, harvesting, and simple food processing
• Bird watching across the food forest
• Seeing how compost, water, and trees keep the whole farm alive
• A take-home seed packet or seedling for every student

Whether it's a school field trip or a homeschool group, we tailor the visit to the age and the curriculum. Tell us your group and dates, and we'll plan a day they'll remember.

Still Point, Half-Day Forest & River Immersion

Quiet Down. Ground Yourself. Get Back to Center. Reconnect.

A guided half-day walk through forest and river, for anyone who needs to slow down and come home to themselves. No agenda and nothing to perform: just the canopy, the current, and the kind of quiet that lets your nervous system finally exhale.

• A brisk walk down to the river and back up to the farm
• Quiet, unhurried time by the water
• Foraging and harvesting fruits along the way
• Fresh coconut drinking, straight from the tree
• Flower salad making
• Barefoot grounding, stillness, and simple breathing
• Room to rest, reflect, and reconnect

Come as you are. Each Still Point is gentle and unhurried, shaped by the group, the weather, and whatever the forest offers that day.

Bonfire & Firefly Nights, Overnight Forest Camp

Rewild. Reroot. Replenish.

An overnight under the open sky, among the fireflies, night creatures, and nature spirits. Trade screens and ceilings for stars and birdsong, and remember how it feels to sleep where the wild things are.

• Pitching your own makeshift tent under the open sky
• A bonfire to gather around as night falls
• Cacao drinking and storytelling around the fire
• Breathwork and meditation under the stars
• Fireflies, night sounds, and a sky full of stars
• Simple, farm-grown food shared together
• Waking with the birds to a quiet forest morning

Bring your sense of wonder and a light layer for the night. Each camp is different. It flows with the season, the moon, and the company.
