Our beloved future neighbor Charles Eisenstein, gave a talk at one of our Ecoferias, talking about the vision for the community here at Ecovilla San Mateo. Takeaways from what he shares: 🧒Children absorb societal programs, emphasizing the importance of creating a different educational experience for them ✨The magic of community creation is through an open and evolving design process 🌱 Holding humility in design to allow for organic emergence and transformation We are thrilled to have so many people who believe in the principles of hashtag #sacredeconomics to be our future neighbors as well, and be so passionate and enthusiastic about building a different kind of community here in Costa Rica.

🌿 Data about our regenerative efforts so far here at La Ecovilla San Mateo. We truly believe that how we are approaching creating ESM is setting a precedent for how regenerative community development can happen. Huge thank to Yãm Aisner for leading these incredible intiatives to understand the land our community is based on. This is just the ecological data. We hope to be able to provide data on how we are socially and economically regenerating the Machuca Valley region. A special recognition to Marcelo Valansi , Canel Frichet , and Sebastian Lombardo for recognizing the importance of regeneration and prioritizing these regenerative land techniques for the Ecovilla company. Read this blog and attend an upcoming webinar to get to know La Ecovilla and the opportunity to live in a modern, purpose-driven community. #ecovillage #regenerativerealestate #regenerativecommunity #communitydevelopment

We commit to regenerating the local area of San Mateo, and it starts with the land and the water. Our local watershed is nested inside of the Jesus-Maria watershed, which has been cited by CATIE as the *most* degraded watershed in all of Costa Rica. We can't stand for it. Our regeneration manager Yãm Aisner takes an active role leading the "Regeneracion de la Cuenca", which is a local intiative to regenerate the watershed that our Ecovila Original and Ecovilla San Mateo are located on in the Machuca Valley. Members of our community have been exploring a bottom-up approach and have already: 1. Identified leaders in the local community 2. Discussed issues faced 3. Created a vision for what action to take The goals of the project include: 🌿 coordinate replanting riparian trees along the river banks 🌿 educate and support local farmers to transition to proper land usage 🌿 mobilize local community members around regenerative efforts 🌿 explore viable economic alternatives for locals practicing agriculture and pastoral activities After an environmental conservation lawyer joined the volunteer effort, Yam created a new map to see how land use is affecting erosion around the Machuca River. The results show that cow pasturing in highlands is directly related to highest levels of riverbank degradation. This is important because the watershed is directly related to healthy ecosystems, biodiversity, and an adequate water carrying capacity for our community members. We are proud of our efforts, but we know this is a journey.
