Hacienda Casa Campo is a 5-acre sanctuary in Borikén (Puerto Rico) that Chemay Morales-James, founder of My Reflection Matters Village (MRMV), is reclaiming as a permanent home for intergenerational healing work, cultural preservation, and land-based rest.
The land has already held two deeply impactful retreats. Now, Chemay has been offered the opportunity to steward this land permanently. The current owner is offering it at a below-market price of $1.4M and is open to receiving funds in installments—but only if the deposit is secured soon.
We are raising $1.5 million to acquire and activate this property. Our first fundraising threshold is $600,000, which will secure the deposit and fund initial mobilization efforts.

This is a moment of rare alignment.
The land is available. The owner is open. The community is ready.
But we need a resourced partner who sees what Chemay sees:
If we wait, the land may be sold to developers who will not honor its spirit or its people.
