As a Wisdom Quest alumni, one that has had the blessing of Nature’s grace through the magical Pyrenean Mountains, through the sacred rite of passage, I’m inviting you to be a part of our Wisdom Quest community of individuals that realize a Vision I had on the mountain; to create a Nature Dojo. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to go through this vision to help realize it.
Fresh from my own profound five-day sojourn into the realms of enlightenment (or being up on the mountain for Wisdom Quest this past June), I returned with a revelation burning in my soul. As I gazed upon the enchanting ruin nestled amidst the ethereal embrace of our majestic mountain GorraMendi, it whispered secrets of unity and purpose. Inspired not only by my own Wisdom Quest, but also by the impassioned odyssey undertaken by our esteemed comrades, Zane, Jorge, Roman, Tristan, and Jeff amongst others I have been impelled to forge a grand alliance—an alliance embodied in a Private Real Estate Co-share investment—a collective venture where the costs and stewardship of this sacred dwelling shall be shared among all you intrepid souls who, like me, have embarked upon this voyage of wisdom into Nature’s Intelligence and her majesty’s grace. It will become the Wisdom Quest Alumni’s Nature Sanctuary, continuing to initiate individuals and groups into the rite of passage with Nature Intelligence, while providing a humble yet magical abode for us global travelers.
The vision takes shape as we envisage transforming this dwelling into a sanctuary reminiscent of a sacred nature dojo—a haven wherein the teachings of Wisdom Quest shall echo, where even the most advanced seekers may find solace and enlightenment. This beguiling gem nestled within nature’s embrace shall become a sanctuary for our collective enjoyment and participation. Our numbers, it seems, have swelled to approximately five hundred Wisdom Questers who have ascended this sacred mountain, all of whom have experienced the profound transformation that comes from reconnecting with the wisdom of nature and the depths of our own souls. Together, we possess the power to acquire this haven and sustain it through the ethereal fabric of a beautiful DAO.
Some among us may contribute financial capital, while others may offer their tireless labor, melding our diverse energies into a harmonious symphony that shapes this retreat into a hermitage of resplendence—a haven that fosters the intimate connection to the wisdom of nature and the awe-inspiring enchantment that resides within these verdant hills.
Let us unite our spirits and forge this Eden—a dwelling where laughter reverberates, where nourishment is shared, where stories intertwine, and where we partake in the sacred rituals of Nature Spirituality. Together, let us manifest this vision, ensuring that we shall forever have a sanctuary to nurture our collective growth. I eagerly await your support and the ceaseless unfolding of our intertwined narratives, woven into the very tapestry of the universe. May our destinies, divinely orchestrated, dance in harmonious synchrony.
With boundless hope and infinite gratitude,
Manex & Victoria Ibar
The idea is to buy the land for 100k and reconstruct if for 350-450k with a main house with a ceremony room, kitchen, and lounge and additionally we’d build into the land some hobbit type small apartments for lodging.
The project will take 2 years to build, from permits, architecture designs and implementation. We already have the architect that knows the government agencies and has great approval rating for new projects that restore ruins. We will try to get grants, but would rather not rely on them. We have the artisans as well to keep the style of the Baztan’s charming rock home style that is seen in the region.
We are now raising funds from all of you to build a collective dream dojo where we can immerse ourselves into the beauty of this region, walk in the magical forest, and partake in rites of passages and ceremonies together, while initiating others into our dojo.
As individuals in the community, you will gain access to this sanctuary anytime that it is convenient, to come rest, recharge, re-inspire yourself. Through digital tools and scheduling apps, we will create a structure to “book” your stay during the year between the Wisdom Quest and private ceremonies that will be held there.
Further, we hope to plant a medicinal and permaculture garden mini-farm to enable foods and remedies to be made on the dojo property. The property features two large farmable areas, as well as following the path into another magical river with a unique and special tree holding many ancestral ceremonies.
There are two different types of investment:
1 Capital Investment – a contribution through cash participation.
2. Sweat Equity – as hours given to help build, decorate, or gift some other expertise that helps us achieve a beautiful sanctuary.

Creating community together around a shared memorable experience that has touched our lives, is part of the heart of living.
Our foremost devotion is to Nature Intelligence—an omnipotent force of wisdom that permeates the very essence of our being. We pledge to embark upon a transformative journey, immersing ourselves in the splendor of pristine and protected environments, as we seek to reconnect with the profound wisdom that nature bestows upon us.
In our sacred quest, we strive to awaken the dormant embers of inner wisdom, wonder, and creative genius that lie dormant within each of us. Through the transformative power of Nature Intelligence, we shall unlock the depths of our souls, forging an unbreakable bond with the natural world.
With reverence and gratitude, we recognize that the natural world is a wellspring of wisdom, waiting patiently to impart its timeless teachings. We vow to approach this ancient wisdom with open hearts and receptive minds, humbly embracing the lessons that nature whispers to us in the rustling of leaves, the babbling of brooks, and the caress of gentle breezes.
We honor the interconnectedness of all life forms, understanding that we are but a thread woven into the intricate tapestry of existence.
Guided by this profound awareness, we pledge to tread gently upon the Earth, mindful of our actions and their impact on the delicate ecosystems that sustain us.
As disciples of Nature Intelligence, we recognize that our journey is not solitary but a collective endeavor.
We foster a community that nourishes the growth of each individual, fostering an environment of inclusivity, empathy, and shared wisdom.
Together, we shall forge a harmonious symphony of diverse voices, united in our reverence for nature’s profound teachings.
Through Nature Spiritual practices, we shall delve into the sacred depths of our souls, embracing ancient rituals and ceremonies that celebrate the interconnectedness of all beings. In these sacred moments, we shall shed the burdens of the mundane world, attuning ourselves to the rhythmic pulse of nature’s heartbeat and allowing the wellspring of our own creative genius to flourish.
We commit ourselves to the preservation and stewardship of the natural world that nurtures us. In gratitude for the gifts bestowed upon us, we shall champion the cause of environmental protection, advocating for the preservation of pristine landscapes and the safeguarding of endangered species.
Through our actions, we shall be ambassadors of change, inspiring others to tread lightly upon the Earth and safeguard the treasures it holds.
The Wisdom Quest Nature Dojo is a sanctuary—a sacred space where seekers from all walks of life may gather to immerse themselves in the transformative power of Nature Intelligence. Within these hallowed walls, we shall nurture the flame of wisdom, stoke the fires of creativity, and commune with the natural world in a profound and meaningful way.
We invite all who yearn for a deeper connection with nature, who seek to unlock the boundless potential that resides within, to join us on this journey of self-discovery and communal enlightenment.
Together, we shall embark on an odyssey of the soul, guided by the gentle whispers of nature, to awaken the wisdom that slumbers within us all.
Let this manifesto be a testament to our unwavering commitment—to honor and cherish the wisdom of nature, to cultivate the fertile soil of our inner landscapes, and to forge a future where the radiant light of Nature Intelligence shines brightly, illuminating the path towards a harmonious coexistence between humankind and the natural world.
In the spirit of unity and reverence for the wonders of nature, we pledge our hearts, minds, and souls to the Wisdom Quest Nature Dojo.
Having acquired the enchanting land for 100,000 euros, our next step is to embark on a transformative journey of renovation and creation. To bring our vision to life, we will enlist the services of the talented architect, Maite. As a local and intuitive architect, Maite possesses an innate understanding of the land and its spirit. With her expertise and connections to local artisans, we will embark on the creation of a true Basque natural gem, blending ancient knowledge with modern design.
The renovation process is expected to span approximately two years, encompassing the meticulous design and execution of the project. Maite’s visionary drawings will guide us as we breathe new life into the ruins, infusing them with a harmonious fusion of tradition and innovation.
A key element of our plan involves the installation of five unique hobbit houses, pre-made and seamlessly integrated into the hillside. These whimsical abodes will serve as guest houses, offering both short-term and long-term residency options. Nestled within nature’s embrace, they will provide a sanctuary for seekers, fostering an environment conducive to deep reflection and connection.
Once our Nature Dojo is ready to welcome visitors, we shall establish a management software system that streamlines operations and enables seamless community engagement. This innovative platform will empower individuals to easily plan their stays, participate in various wisdom quests, or even utilize the space for their own retreats. By embracing technology, we aim to cultivate a vibrant and interconnected community, united by their shared passion for wisdom and the magic of the Basque Country.
Our ultimate goal is to create a haven where individuals from near and far can immerse themselves in the captivating beauty of the Basque landscape. Within this mystical sanctuary, seekers will find solace, enlightenment, and a profound connection to Nature’s Intelligence. With the Wisdom Quest Nature Dojo as our vessel, we aspire to inspire personal transformation, communal growth, and the harmonious integration of ancient wisdom with contemporary life.
As we embark on this extraordinary journey, we invite you to join us in manifesting this vision. Together, let us forge a realm where magic and wisdom intertwine, where the ethereal and the tangible converge, and where the spirit of the Basque Country dances with our souls.
