About Us
Peaceful Village Raw Vegan Healing Community is a newly formed, unique and semi-private small intentional community located in the northern Amazonian tropical jungles of the place called ecuador. Located on more than 21 hectares with three pristine rivers, streams, waterfall, cascades, and breathtaking mountain views and forest areas.
Community members are nonconformists and anarchists at heart, living as sovereign Earthling beings in harmony with each other and the natural world around them. Here, no one domestics or owns nonhuman animals as everyone values the freedom of every being. Learn more about Peaceful Village’s Values and Birthrights here.
Mission
An intentional community where we all live life to the fullest guided by our hearts, natural laws, and a set of core values and birthrights, holistically healing and growing spiritually as a soul family. Coexisting in harmony with animals and the natural surroundings, we exercise sovereignty and independence, living off-grid, growing our own food veganically, obtaining water from the rain, rivers, and streams, building ecologically and sustainably, and having alternative energy sources. As a soul family, we learn from one another and Nature, and through observation, helping and sharing, and enjoying beautiful and memorable moments together.
Vision
A way of living where human beings together in communion with each other, free-roaming animals, and Mother Nature, experiences unconditional love, optimal health, bliss, freedom, and abundance, which are our natural states of being. We envision a network of communities, where people are barefoot and naked, as a joyful soul family and Eden Fruitarians. Simple living is here, immersing ourselves in the beauty and abundance of Nature while embracing the uniqueness and existence of everyone through our experiences and interactions with them.
________________
As this is raw, undeveloped land, it will take some time before all the infrastructures are in place and the community becomes completely self-sufficient. Meanwhile, people here are preparing the soil for planting and building the facilities needed to operate the community.
People at Peaceful Village have the sole purpose to live together as like-minded spiritual souls in an intentional community, while individually and collectively working together to holistically heal themselves and helping others to heal from their past traumas and wounds, promoting vegan and raw vegan, non-conforming, and anarchist ways of living through a variety of events and retreats. In the future, they plan to teach people how to create similar healing communities.

Not only does PV stand for Peaceful Village, but also “Private Community”. Even though we promote and openly share our community and the way we live – a more natural, vegan, raw vegan, nonconformist, and anarchist way, we are a very private community. There are certain people, megacorporations, and governments who want to see such communities disband – to cease to exist. Governments also employ undercover agents as community members, and pay them tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to be part of the community to see that it eventually dissolves. And even though we don’t financially make a huge negative impact on these entities, they don’t want us around. They rather have us enslaved like the rest of the people who live in towns and cities, working in useless jobs that does nothing for our spiritual growth and well-being. We are a nonviolent, peaceful community of people, with the intention to do the least harm and the most good, transitioning away from society to a life in Nature, striving for complete self-sustainability with our food, water, housing, electricity, etc. Therefore, we are careful how and what we share about Peaceful Village with others. That is why we don’t freely share our handbook and other more anarchist ways of being with just anyone, but with selected people who complete one of the online applications and attends our center.
About the Founder Michael Lanfield
Michael has an important message to tell humanity. His name, “Michael” means god’s or universe’s messenger: he is a nonreligious archangel. He is here to share the message of love, love for all creatures, freedom for all. He is doing this through his books and writings, videos, websites, doing interviews, and now in particularly with this intentional community, Peaceful Village Raw Vegan Healing Community which he founded back in 2014, and physically began in 2022 with his soul path partner Aurora.
Since his spiritual and ethical awakening becoming vegan in 2009, and more anarchist and nonconformist over the last few years, the messages that he teaches are mainly about love and freedom for every creature, and the human connection to Nature. We are all so wounded and programed by society, and thus, are needing to heal ourselves and raise our level of consciousness. Society and governments are slavery, and the towns and cities that most of us live in are polluted and don’t help us to spiritually evolve, and therefore, we need to move away from these artificial places for more natural ones. Spiritual awakening is necessary, and questioning the society and culture we grew up in are important if we want to evolve for the better. Living with our soul family in intentional communities out in natural warm tropical climates and environments, being independent and becoming completely self-sustainable, are the solutions and path we urgently need to embrace to thrive and shine. We are powerful sovereign human beings in every way, with birthrights that have been suppressed within us and outlawed by government and human laws, and condemned by religious establishments and various high-ranking people in society. Humans have forgotten and lost the connection to Nature and her natural laws, that comes from universal truths, and why many of us are depressed and feel lost in life. We must reconnect and live according to these laws, and not to the government or human created ones.
These are the powerful messages that Michael brings to humanity and the core values and teachings of Peaceful Village. However, his books just skim the surface of what needs to be heard by every human being on Earth, and why he continues to share this urgent information with people through this community. Like everyone in society, he is still wounded and holistically healing, peeling away all the layers of his old self for the new spiritual one.
At some point in the distant past, Michael believes that he was Jesus, the messenger of the spirit, who has come here in this lifetime to share a vital message to humanity that many people don’t want to hear, and is often hard to describe in a few short words, but one that is needed to embrace and live by.
As a visionary, and along with the other community members, he is envisioning a very unique and different kind of community, of how we probably lived in the distant past, but with a bit more technology and advancements, like electricity and internet. He also foresees a more positive future for most of humanity, for the ones who are on the path of spiritual and ethical awakening, as lightworkers.
Michael is a holistic coach and helps people within the community to holistically heal in all aspects of their lives so they can shine and thrive. He is also certified World Peace Diet Facilitator and author of several books including two Amazon.com #1 category bestsellers, The Interconnectedness of Life and The Journey, and also: The Lost Love, Return to The Gentle Sea, Our Path to Freedom, Creating a Beautiful World, and Awakening the Good in Humanity.

Our Intentions and Areas of Focus
1. Community Living
- Being with like-minded people who share the same values and similar lifestyles.
- Healing together through a variety of group activities like meditation, yoga, and gratitude prayers for example.
- Sharing food that we grow and material items with people who are in the community.
- Sharing our skills and talents.
- Spending good times together playing music and singing or sharing meals in rawlucks/fruitlucks.
- Helping one another when in need.
- Decision-making and meetings.
2. Self-sustainability
- Growing our own food veganically, without the use of toxic chemicals or animal inputs like manure, blood meal, bone meal, fish meal, feather meal, etc. or the use of domesticated animals on the land.
- Running water and the availability of water within the public community areas.
- People in the community have shelter to sleep and rest and from the extremities of rain and hard sun.
- Alternative energy from solar, wind or hydroelectric is used within our community without relying on municipal sources for electricity.
Other aspects within the community that are not necessary for our living, but are needed to transition to complete self-sustainable life.
- Internet to promote our way of living and to communicate with people that are interested to visit.
- Clothes, shoes, and laundry facilities are or may be needed when we go to town or out of the community.
- There may be other miscellaneous things that we need to utilize, like the use of money or transportation.
3. Holistic Healing
- Emphasizing the importance of the consumption of raw vegan foods, especially focusing on fruits, at their natural ambient temperature, not frozen or hot.
- Healing Center – an alternative to a hospital that is in Peaceful Village Raw Vegan Healing Community for a natural approach to healing all aspects of ourselves (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually).
- We also spiritually heal ourselves through a variety of group activities and events.
- We live and connect to Nature, with beautiful forested areas and three pristine rivers, instead of being in towns and cities receiving all the radiation from wifi signals, cell and electricity towers, artificial noise, and pollution. We don’t work full-time going to useless jobs, and therefore, we have more time for healing and spiritual growth through meditation and being with our families.
4. Conservation of Nature
- Designated areas that are untouchable native forests on Peaceful Village land.
- Protection of our three majestic rivers and streams.
- Selectively cutting only the necessary trees (like the ones that are dying, those that are leaning to one side as if they look like they will fall within a short period of time, and young ones that are not endangered or as useful), and reforesting the areas with fruit trees and other native plants. We never cut forests that are on a slope connected to a river or road.
- Conscious living by not using any chemical products on our land such as shampoos, lotions, makeup, perfumes, cleaning products, and laundry detergents.
5. Exercising Our Natural Birthrights
- Our heart yearns to live truly free and in harmony with all life, transitioning away from society and culture.
- We are learning how to best exercise our birthrights and follow natural laws living as sovereign beings. We do this through online research and from our physical experience, disobeying unjust and repressive “laws” whenever feasibly possible.
- We’re starting to make connections with like-minded people and communities. We share the information through our online private forum. (Link to the forum soon!)
6. Sharing Our Way of Living
- Promoting veganism, raw veganism, non-conformity, anarchism, vegan permaculture and planting, and how to create similar communities, through a variety of events, classes, and retreats at our community and online.
