Experience Vida

Bali was a country that touched my soul - the reverence of the people, the beauty of its nature, and long rooted traditions and culture. I got to visit water temples, fire ceremonies, and ancient ruins.

Jungle Palace is an incredible project to work on and grateful I get to call this “work”. Regenerative travel is usually a buzz word I hear - but really it’s just helping homies with their land projects in nature.

As these beautiful projects weave together, a rich tapestry of life and acupuncture points around the world are becoming more and more visible and viable.

This months newsletter, “057: Building What Lasts…”, dives into my personal journey from producing events & big dreams to my journey building a retreat center in Costa Rica — and all the hard truths about what it actually takes to build community, steward land & build retreats or operational businesses of any kind.

This issues also features a nice podcast with crew at Mindform where we dive into all of the above at length! More on LivethePossibility.news

My site visits have taken me to the South of Costa Rica lately. Beach towns like Playa Dominicalito, Uvita, and the neighborhoods around! I really am grateful to collaborate with incredible teams like and incredible clients who dare to think differently!

For this month’s LSA Workshop Series, I sat down with Gabriel Saragovia, founder of Rio Perdido—a hidden-gem of a thermal spa and lodge.

We dug into tourism, development, and sustainability as Costa Rica booms—how do we grow without losing what makes this place magic? 🇨🇷

Design for travelers who care—about nature, wellness, and culture.

What followed was honest, hopeful, and at times confronting—a conversation with a Costa Rican whose opinion I deeply respect.

Site visits take me to some beautiful places. This one took me to an incredible cacao farm in the Turrialba region of Costa Rica. Finca Dos Lagunas is a beautiful example of organic agriculture and a family legacy. It was a beautiful adventure into the Volcanic countryside of the Cartago province!

Costa Rica is still a canvas for what’s possible—ecology, democracy, wellbeing. That’s why so many with good hearts show up to build. But unchecked retreat centers and eco-villages can feel more like extraction than regeneration.

The wiser path?
• Go slow.
• Listen to the land and people.
• Revitalize what exists before building.
• Collaborate instead of competing.

I’ve seen countless projects crash from rushing in without context. These days, my work is about slowing people down—making sure a vision is truly needed, feasible, and in integrity with place.

💡 Sometimes the right move isn’t a retreat center or massive land project. It’s just a home, a connection, a step into the fabric of the local culture.

🎙️ Lessons from the Field: Building Land Projects w/ 🌿

This month in the Land Steward Alliance Monthly Workshop Series, I sat down with Stephen Brooks—visionary founder of Alegría, Ecovilla, Punta Mona, Envision Festival, and now Eterna—to talk about the realities and considerations in building land-based communities.

From contracts to community boards, Netflix to neighborhoods, Stephen shared 20+ years of wisdom on what it really takes to steward land, lead with values, and build regenerative culture.

Some 🔑 takeaways:
• There are many ways to impact local communities and go beyond gentrification
• Choose partners with shared values, not just deep pockets. Every dollar has a DNA
• Contracts = clarity and trust for years to come
• Design for what’s now and what’s next
• Create Experience— to seed community

If you’re dreaming of land projects, already building, or just curious about how to do it better—this convo is for you.

The age of solo vision quests is over.

We’re being called from idealism to mutualism — building dreams that serve not just ourselves, but our communities and the planet.It’s not enough to manifest for me — we must build for we.

That’s why we’re launching our new Giving section of the newsletter— a space to spotlight causes and projects that embody this spirit of collective thriving.

The future is mutual. Let’s live it.

Over the past 9 months, myself and 20 or so peers from Costa Rica and around the world, were immersed in the Regenesis TRP program with Bill Reed and the Regenesis Group. I thought I was going to learn about regenerative development practices, and instead realized, what we were being taught, was a completely new way of being and relating to the world.

It wasn’t just a course on theory — it was a re-wiring of how I understand myself, my work, and my relationship to the external context and the rich tapestry of the living world around me.

Major gratitude to Bill, Joel, and the Regenesis Team as well as our host location Sacred Earth and its stewards Nic and Casandra!
