Join the Ethos Expansion: A Community Rooted in Growth & Impact

Limited Opportunity for 200 Expansion Members

Ethos Mission & Impact

Our Journey

Ethos was born from a 12-year journey of volunteering and fundraising for Baja California's orphanages. Our mission is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that drives personal and collective transformation.

Our Approach

Through mandatory acts of service, guests connect with empathy, authentic community, and genuine purpose. Together, we are fostering a ripple effect of changemakers who can transform the world.

ETHOS is a community-focused project that extends far beyond a physical space. It is an unparalleled experience that results in inward and outward transformation for our guests and destinations. In our inspiring location, we combine genuine hospitality, wellness experiences, and direct social impact. This foundation is the catalyst for optimal physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental transformation.

A Legacy of Transformation

Building a Model of Social Enterprise

As philanthropists, ETHOS founders understand the unique challenges faced by nonprofit organizations. When deciding the best way to create lasting impact through this project, the self sustainability of the business through a revenue-generating model became a pillar of the vision. The idea is to create a magical place that will move the needle one retreat at a time and effectively connect thousands of people with direct impact opportunities.

This is the driving force behind ETHOS.

According to Forbes, over half of all nonprofits that are chartered are destined to fail or stall within a few years

Target benchmarks:

  • 250 local employees hired by 2026

  • 90% employee satisfaction and retention rate

  • Reach zero waste goals & increase full sustainability by 2029

  • 80% of land area marked for conservation

  • 100s of sponsored deep healing treatments for veterans and at risk individuals

  • Thousands of human lives impacted through our social impact initiatives over our lifetime!

Through well-paid employment and human resource programs, ETHOS aim to become a model of hospitality management.

We believe that the model of the traditional nonprofit is too dependent and that dependency is counterproductive to the goals of the organizations. Through a for-profit social impact model, we believe that we can build a virtuous cycle in which social purpose is the core goal. This model fosters innovation, aligns all stakeholders and creates multiple layers of social benefit.
