Our Story & Guidelines
The Full Story
At the beginning of Cristaland's journey, a visionary soul seeking communal living sat for meditation under a tree.​Little did he anticipate the unfolding of an extraordinary tale. The tree, a wise elder of the land, beckoned him to be a guardian, entrusted with the protection of the sacred soil. Confused with this mission, the old man accepted, unaware of the magic orchestration that awaited. ​Fast forward... Cristaland emerged as a flourishing non-profit association, a testament to the commitment of those who embraced the role of stewards.
Thanks to the dedication of all the humans involve in the project, they transform this landscape near Lagos into a haven.
At Cristaland, we are not owners but guardians of an ancient woodland.
​In the last years, we extend an invitation to partake in our rich legacy inviting guest to enjoy the land and our holistic activities. Our events and mindfulness practices are not just gatherings; they are echoes of a past that has shaped our present and influenced our future. From meditations to sound healings, ecstatic dances and ecological workshops, each moment is a testament to our journey.​​
