We're Building Something Big
For 11 years, I’ve dreamed of creating a community kitchen—a physical space where Pachavega’s mission can fully thrive. This permanent home marks a pivotal evolution, providing a dedicated environment to teach, inspire, and transform lives through the power of plant-based living.
At Pachavega, we welcome guests from around the world to our nourishing retreats and life-changing courses. But our commitment goes beyond our global reach; we’re deeply invested in our local community. We educate and employ our neighbors, ensuring that Pachavega’s impact benefits everyone. We foster a sense of community and promote well-being, creating a supportive space where everyone can flourish together. The Pachavega Community Kitchen is more than just a kitchen; it’s a hub for connection, education, and empowerment.
Help us make this dream a reality!
