“We believe that our most precious possession is LIFE.”
—–Edmond S. Bordeaux
“Let us seek truth everywhere, let us cull it wherever we can find it’s blossom or its Seed. Having found the seed, let us scatter it to the winds of heaven. Whence ever it may come, whither so ever it may blow, it will germinate. There is no lack in this wide universe of Souls that will form the new ground.”
—Roman Rolland “The Forerunners” 1917

THE Eco-APPRENTICESHIP WITH NATURE PROGRAM
In this Program you will live, work and learn at a small family-run EcoRanch dedicated wholly to the art of “Natural Living and Natural Healing” by living right next to our Source in Nature. Located in the pure air and pristine mountains of Southern California, Rancho EcoTopia enjoys a Mediterranean climate, while lying only 45min. from the beaches of multicultural San Diego. Our principle focus is learning once again how to tap into the spontaneous flow of artistic expression and creativity through consciously living in harmony and unity with all the natural and cosmic forces surrounding us.
We are a small, organically growing Intentional Community, always interested in like-minded individuals that share the same respect for a peaceful, spiritual atmosphere conducive to inner-growth. Our primary focus is maintaining a supportive, creative, artistic, and health-orientated atmosphere, in an educational setting. Our new Program is still young and evolving. Newcomers are invited to come and make the Vision real.
The Internship is open to individuals, as well as couples, and young, well-behaved children are always welcome to our deeply nurturing environment. Our Experiment For Biogenic Living and Laboratory For Artistic Creativity are appropriately situated on an Earth-based Organic Fruit Ranch, and currently offers several comfortable living spaces in a very healing and picturesque setting, experience in Biodynamic Gardening/Farming, all- encompassing aspects of Biogenic Living, studies in time-tested principles of Natural Healing, participation in workshops, including our Annual Grape Fest, and of course, famous cleansing Grape Diet! For more information, see short movie mentioned on page : “Exp. for Biogenic Living & Artistic Creativity–How to apply” section.
The Apprenticeship Work-Study Program, involves dedicating approximately anywhere from about 10-15hrs./wk. help on the Ranch, depending upon one’s individual program. In exchange, students are given adequate living quarters with all necessities included, as well as fresh organic fruits and vegetables (when seasonally available) or modest pay (for certain skills). Included in this is use of our extensive “Lending-Library,” with all its unique and rare natural healing and study materials, as well as exercise facilities on the property. Internships can last anywhere from several weeks, to several months.
We emphasize that we are only interested in responsible individuals who are in harmony our principle belief:
“Everyone must be let alone in peace.”
We also look for those individuals with a passion for nature, for hard work in the out-of-doors, love of animals, and those who are sincerely intent upon realizing their highest goals and dreams. It needn’t be emphasized we only accept non-smoking, non-drinking, health-conscious individuals, and with references! All Internships are pending upon a mutual trial/test period. Applications are accepted year round. (see below for more information about how to apply)*

We have now been here one year and have learned so much, and love it! Living so close to all the vital elements of nature has reawakened a forgotten part of our youth, where freedom and life is lived so fully and deliberately. To be able to see through all the mental static and clutter, and hear clearly your own thoughts once again, is such a gift. People here are very sincere and caring. And we especially enjoy working for a higher a purpose, knowing it benefits others, the earth and our own evolution. Thank you again for this opportunity Rancho EcoTopia! —Manuel & Minga

RANCHO ECOTOPIA:
A Life Changing Experience for the Mind, Body and Soul!
Written By: Megan Lior
October, 2018
Recently, my two daughters, Anya, Esme and I were invited to visit Rancho Ecotopia and experience some of the magic and wonder that White Rabbit and his family have to share on their Biogenic Farm/Homestead. I discovered their website while I was exploring Intentional Communities on the internet and was totally taken by the words “Experiment in Biogenic Living and Artistic Creativity”. My family is in a time of transformation, growth and healing – and we believe deeply in alternative lifestyles and communities – so I was searching for different ideas and experiences that we might discover to assist us in our transformational process. I came across the website of Rancho Ecotopia and found myself Diving In! From the descriptions of the potential Biogenic Living Internships, to the ideas of just visiting to see and learn and offer an exchange, to the extremely thought provoking video of Prof. Edmund Szekely… my heart burst open! In following my inner-guidance, I pursued the chance for my daughters and I to come for an “exploration visit” of this unique community that is still growing and forming.
With warmth, kindness, generosity, the Rancho Ecotopia Family welcomed us to their homestead to connect us to our desire to be awakened to some of the magic and beauty of Biogenic Living, Farming, Healthful Conscious Eating, Celebrating and Being!!! The experience was life changing! The opportunity to walk the land; feel the farm life happening; admire the sculptures and living art; talk and play with the animals; create art in the workshop; rake the glorious California Pepper Trees; harvest the fresh, life-giving foods that we shall nourish ourselves with; sit on the sacred rocks; sleep in the cozy camper filled with inspiring books and foods and pictures… Rancho Ecotopia is True Medicine for the Soul. This medicine for me especially included the opportunity I had to use my physical body to care for the land a little bit as a part of my offering of exchange. It was a small effort in the global landscape of caring for the farm, but it was something that I could do and feel good about. I was asked to help with some of the fall raking on the property and clean one of the goat pens with White Rabbit. It felt so amazing to be able to sweat in the sun and push the wheelbarrow, be of use, and lay out piles of compost that will bring about new life one day… Seeing the physical commitment the family makes to the daily care and maintenance of the property is another way the experience of the Ranch is so transformative. Beyond that, the chance to actually participate through helping, brings about a shift for the soul that is so deep inside.
Another totally magical aspect of our visit was the opportunity to be included in a community family meal each day – our bodies were bouncing with joy and happiness to ingest such powerful, high frequency foods harvested and prepared with such incredible love and intention. More Medicine for our Bodies and Souls! My daughters are still speaking with nostalgia for “Alma’s Food” as I begin to try my own creations! We were honored to be cared for in such loving, familial ways both in the family home as well as in the camper where we were housed. The camper was prepared with total thoughtfulness to details and offerings of foods in the fridge and cupboards. Rancho Ecotopia is a glorious example of the generosity of spirit.
Our stay also included the opportunity to speak with White Rabbit about Life and Biogenics and the wisdom he has come to discover through this way of life. Both he and Alma are profound inspirations in the many different ways they live in service to the land, to each other, to their daughter, and to the principles and practices of Biogenic Living as a family. I know that my “studies” have only just begun. White Rabbit also made an incredibly valuable life imprint on my daughters as he enveloped them into walking with him while teaching about the plants and rocks; giving them art projects and a swimming hole to enjoy – taking them to feed the animals, teaching them how to make the most delicious Raw Cookies they have ever had, teaching them about sprouts and showing them how simple and fun it is to grow them… White Rabbit has an unbelievable openhearted desire to share the sense of wonder and awe that is found in the natural life and in the principles and practices of Biogenics. His Internships of a few weeks, to even several months, are of untold benefit; it can be life changing.
We have returned home now to our life in Sedona, Arizona. So far we are still holding on every day to parts of this life changing experience. We have started sprouting here at home. We are changing the ways we approach meals and food in many different ways. We are working with the Essene “Tree of Life” model to connect with Biogenics every day. My husband and I are waiting for our first Edmund Szekely books to arrive so we can continue our “eye-opening” studies of Biogenic Living, discussing ways we might be able to volunteer in the future at Rancho Ecotopia in ways that would “give back” a fraction of what we feel we have gained from this opportunity. This truly has been a Life Changing Experience for Mind, Body and Soul! Our family’s gratitude flows like a river. Thank you Rancho Ecotopia!
