Our first two Villages are being designed and readied for first-phase members
in the lower Andes of Ecuador:
Takina Nuna - a rural Village on 55 acres of fertile land, and
Madre Tierra - a five-acre Wellness Oasis within walking distance from the charming town of Vilcabamba.
We are co-creating a more
Sustainable, All-considerate, Numinous, Evolutionary future. A SANE one.
From the ground up. Piloting bioregional solutions to global problems.
Vision
Our vision is a vibrant, joyful planet. A planet where nature, culture and economy weave together in mutual respect, supporting regeneration, resilience and human wellness.
We are co-creating places where we work and live together to contribute to a more sane future: one that is Sustainable, All-considerate, Numinous, and Evolutionary.
For humanity to make it through the current meta-crisis, we need to evolve our capacities to coordinate, collaborate, and synergize. At the core of our Villages initiative lies a deep realization that we ultimately need each other in order to navigate this time in history. None of us can do this alone.
Our regenerative Villages invite us to keep 'turning toward one another, to engage our whole hearts, minds and bodies for individual and collective flourishing, to listen for the synergistic intelligence emergent in the middle, to collaborate without losing track of ourselves, to uplift and celebrate each other, to remain decent under duress, and to work together for a future that is wholesome for everyone.
We begin with finding each other.
Community
Our Villages are made up of individuals committed to embodying the journey of becoming evermore whole and integrous - in word and action.
We choose to honor the land, listen to it, and work with it, rather than against it. We see ourselves as stewards of the land, grateful and creative in both protecting and regenerating the earth and all living beings.
We choose to respect each human as a sovereign soul, and pay attention to both individual and collective flourishing.
We choose to celebrate our children, to support them in staying true to themselves while thriving in a collective.
We choose to co-create a culture that uplifts human wellness.
Our two Ecuadorian Villages are nestled in the lower Andes, near the lively town of Vilcabamba.
Values
Freedom and Belonging: Humans require both the freedom to be and express themselves, as well a sense of belonging. We honor the dance between these two seeming polarities.
Decency: We bring self-awareness and self-responsibility to our Village. We commit to showing up as decent humans, on sunny and rainy days. We care for one another's well being and engage in non-reactive communication and moving through differences with as much grace and elegance as possible.
Commons and Privacy: We respect the need for privacy, as well as enjoy occasions for conviviality. The design of our Villages supports both.
Service and Generosity: We are here to serve, and to engage with each other in a spirit of generosity. We ask not only "What can I receive from living in a Village?", but also: "What can I give and contribute to a Village?"
Gratitude: We bring gratitude and appreciation for the precious gift of Life in all its forms.

Madre Tierra
The Village closer to town (Madre Tierra) is a wellness oasis, just on the outskirts and within walking distance of Vilcabamba. Set on 5 acres, it is a charming collection of already-built casitas joined by meandering paths, and surrounded by beautiful views everywhere you look. It has an in-house restaurant as well as an outdoor pool and large event space.
Takina Nuna
The rural Village (Takina Nuna) is on a 55-acre multi-leveled, fertile piece of land with its own mountain peak, hiking trails, pure water, extensive orchards, a retreat center, bee hives, refreshing pond, and the potential for permaculture gardens. It is a twenty-minute drive from Vilcabamba, and offers a serene, quiet existence, combined with a great neighborhood.
Each unit has its own private home, and benefits from multiple shared spaces and amenities.
Together we live an intentional, respectful, regenerative lifestyle.
