Rural Coliving: A Transcendental Opportunity to Improve Your Life

Break out of the system and embrace rural coliving: a community that will empower and transform you.

I’m going to tell you things that no one is going to tell you in the rural coliving industry.

Have you heard of the liquid society? That term was coined by Zygmunt Bauman, I recommend that you read about it. He explains that we are living in a time of paradigm shift on many levels, and one of the aspects most affected on a continuous basis is identity. Yes, the identity of the individual. It is already happening: we don’t know who we are, what we want, where we are going…

A minority, lets call them the lucky entrepreneurs, are chasing dreams that unfortunately are not theirs, but rather are borrowed from others (influence from mom/dad, market trends or the inertia of the system). And most of them reluctantly work for the dreams of others, waiting for Friday to arrive. So, in many cases, we walk around like headless chickens. It’s hard to admit it.

Well, what is the solution?

I don’t know. I’m sorry to disappoint you. But what I do know is the system wants you alone, isolated and afraid. This way you are more profitable. You are going to buy many things to fill your existential void, and you are going to pay a continuous entertainment subscription to disconnect from your internal reality.

I also know that there is another option: that you find your tribe.

A community of people like you can help you remember who you are and why you came in this life. The community will give you roots. You’ll feel part of something bigger, you’ll resonate with other people who are working to improve their lives. You can contribute to the group, and the group to you. We aren’t reinvented the wheel here – for many years we have operated like this.

Now the community is more necessary than ever.

Introducing Rural Coliving

Coliving is modern communal living emphasizing community and networking among residents. Residents typically have a private bedroom but share common areas like kitchens, living rooms, and coworking areas. For the purpose of this article, we are talking about medium to long-term coliving (that means 3 months minimum).

Beyond the superficial, a coliving community will give you roots. You’ll feel part of something bigger, you’ll resonate with other people who are working to improve their lives. You can contribute to the group, and the group to you. We believe that rural coliving has the power to enrich people’s lives.

The key advantages of rural coliving

Nature on your doorstep. Access a forest, fields, mountains or the sea in less than 10 minutes on foot. That means your spare time is spent outdoors, with activities like mountain climbing, nature walks, bathing in rivers, swimming in the sea…
Disconnect. Rural areas provide a slower flow of life, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and listen to your inner voice. Appreciate the beauty of silence and bird songs, without the air pollution, congestion and subtle tension that exists in cities due to the multitude of stimuli.
It’s safe. In rural areas, many people leave bread or morning newspapers on their doorsteps, and of course, no one steals them!
It’s cheap. Rural coliving is accessible in economic terms – we’re talking an average of 850 per month. Sure, you can find ’boutique rural colivings’ but the rural economy generally is cheaper than anything you can find in a city.
Cultural Immersion. In rural environments your neighbors will be locals. There is no mass tourism, there is no gentrification. It is 100% an authentic experience, with the culture and traditions of the region of Spain in which you are. And believe me, there are usually a lot of cultural activities in rural colivings also.

In any case, you will ask yourself... How can a place improve my life?

Symbolism: “Embracing Community and Nature to Revitalise Work and Life: the Rise of Rural Coliving in Spain”

Unfortunately, I’m not a fortune teller, sorry. I’m just a fan of rural colivings.

But these clues might give you an indication:

Improve your perspective on things: Slowing down time helps you connect better with community colivers, stronger and more real bonds are generated. And that same thing, the diversity of an open, sincere and empathetic community will expand your field of vision and understanding of life on many levels.
You relativize the problems: It is a consequence of the previous point, plus the fact that contact with nature helps to alleviate emotional tensions, you tend to be calmer and more at peace and that makes you better prepared to deal with your challenges.
You become more productive: We all know, good weather makes you happier, and therefore, more motivated and productive. And when you enjoy your rural environment (whether doing sports, exercise, walks, etc.) you disconnect more from work and charge your batteries faster.
You truly discover a new culture: It is clear that in rural environments your neighbors will be locals. There is no mass tourism, there is no gentrification. It is 100% an authentic experience, with the culture and traditions of the region of Spain in which you are. And believe me, there are usually a lot of cultural activities in rural colivings also.
You take better care of yourself: in general you tend to do more sports and/or exercise, read a good book in an outdoor hammock, enjoy a meal with organic products from your garden, enjoy deeper and more bonding conversations, and take the time to watch a sunset or sleep under the stars.
