Our Story & Guidelines
Cristaland's Story
At the beginning of Cristaland's journey, a visionary soul seeking communal living sat in meditation beneath a tree. Little did he know that this moment would mark the beginning of an extraordinary tale. The tree, an ancient guardian of the land, called upon him to become its protector, entrusting him with the care of the sacred soil. Confused yet intrigued by this mission, the old man accepted, unaware of the magic that was about to unfold.
Fast forward to today—Cristaland has flourished into a thriving non-profit association, a testament to the dedication of those who embraced the role of stewards. Thanks to the commitment of everyone involved in the project, they have transformed this landscape near Lagos into a true haven.

As guardians, we have created guidelines to uphold the sanctity of this land:

Water is a precious and limited resource on the area. By being mindful of our water consumption, we help protect this land and ensure its vitality for the future.

No Fires in Hotter Months
Fires, during the winter months, are allowed only in designated areas
Plant Based
