Build upon the things that already exist in our community. Get active in your local community gardens, replace your lawn with native biodiversity and gardens, open up a seed library and a tools library at a local center. Collect rainwater, have chickens, if you don't have access to land grow hydroponically. It's hard to completely turn around our lifestyle from urban to one-with-nature in one fell swoop, but as a community we can morph towards that goal. The more people the better.

That being said, I can't assume since Costa Ricans can look like any person of the video, but by the surnames and accents I assume they are not that many Costa Ricans in that community which is kind of sad and feels a bit appropiating in a way too.

this isnt really very hippie , i would say its neohippie for city kids who are into trends like minimalism, hipsterism and such. you can be a hippie anywhere you want, its more of a lifestyle then giving away stuff and planting crops. i was young and used to camp and fish and trek and be by myself a lot, that was the best time ever. then i did meaningless jobs for 20 years. now i just spend more time doing art, painting and music by myself, and i feel more hippie then i ever was. its an attitude and a feeling. and being in more solitude spaces and freeing your mind, and these are things u find yourself. if u need to be taught yoga, breathing and ceremonies, then the part of exploration is dead, you again have gone study mode and not figured things out yourself. being a hippie should be a spiritual, emotional, physical and mental journey that u need to take by yourself. however if this is a catalyst for u to open your mind then its useful i guess.

The cost of living for people on the coasts and tourist areas is exorbitantly high for actual Costa Ricans that what else is there left to do but leave our hometown/house/actual community to live in places where we can actually buy groceries. You can go back to your country which is probably way better off than any Latin American country but we have to stay in this mess (because yeah, it is not as nice when you have to live here as a Costa Rican, not an “expat”), while not being able to even visit our own beaches because we simply cannot pay your prices.

So I'm for the general vibe of this video and the community it's highlighting, but there's an important point about this that I think gets lost. How many of the people in this community were Costa Rican? How much does the community contribute to undoing the centuries of exploitation and genocide that the native people of this region faced due to US imperialism? Is it really our place to come in as foreigners and take land to create our vision of a better world (and it is better, don't get me twisted) while simultaneously excluding the very people whose land we wish to use? You are drawing more and more people to Costa RIca, which, within the current system, leads to things like more streets and cars, more power lines, more deforestation and encroachment into native habitats. How about instead, you buy 100 acres of farmland in the middle of the US that's currently being used for monoculture agrobusiness farming and convert that into a permaculture system built on sustainable living? Think about how your vision and behavior affects those native to the place you are invading and the wider ecosystem. I'm not saying this is on the whole bad, but there are negative aspects below the surface which need to also be contemplated

if you live in the EU, I highly recommend Galicia in Spain, or Northern Portugal, cheap, plentiful with water and mild winters. If tropical fruits are what attract you in, You can easily grow avocados and citrus, and bananas or papaya with some fine-tuning along with every temperate or mediterranean climate crop you can think of. The people here are at the mercy of neoliberalism and right-wing politics so their entire rural economy is based on destructive mining, forestry or cattle-raising industries. Luckily most of the land is still in the hands of regular people, who own human-scale homesteads of 1-5 acres. These traditional homesteaders, tend to enjoy foreigners and could use a lot of new ideas from permaculture, syntropic agroforestry and forest gardening. So any land you buy here will probably be much better off than in the hands of the local tycoons who are buying up land for cheap, polluting industries. As a Galician, please buy land here, I don't care if you contribute or not to the local economy or not, or create jobs, I just want people who will take care of the land in a regenerative way!

As other comments say, it would be nice if you did this in your own community. As a native from where you're being an off-grid hippie there's real struggle and unfortunately severe affected marginalized groups that get into worse condition due to foreigners staying instead of visiting rising prices for locals that already pay for American prices with third world salaries. Look up places like Carpio or Leon Xlll too see if you're hippie lifestyle is really finding self-love and prosperity for others

I am all for alternative communities...except when they start asking for 'donations'. Also a lot of people who leave after an extended period leave and depending on situation, many will have no savings and expect other tax payers to help them out with government benefits. There has been many of these communities that have existed in America, especially in 1960s/1970s...and most of them failed. If a community like this is truly a better way to live, then it needs to be sustainable without financial help from the outside.

My issue with Punta Mona is their insanely high prices and how many of its visitors skip the smaller, unassuming NATIVE beach communities which probably inspired the project to begin with

@@livingtheskylife but the video implies it, as does Punta Mona itself and this is the main problem. I have known Stephen for 22 years and I know his heart is in the right place but he acts like anyone can do this. The reality is he comes from a wealthy family and the overwhelming majority of people's dads can't buy them land at a young age or give them money to start a business. His denial of his privilege in this situation is going to continue to turn people off. He called his background middle class in an insta video and was called out by one of his friends because he wants to see himself that way, but in reality this place is a direct result of privilege. I was one of the original volunteers on this farm, we spoke a lot of Spanish and half the people we worked with were locals. It was free to volunteer. I still recognize my privilege of not being able to work for several months to live there. This video comes off as a community of Westerners disconnected from the rest of the country and it's people. Maybe this is the way since Padi passed away, that connection was lost.

I’m making the point that universally, no matter what your socioeconomic status is, if you can exit the Matrix however you’re able to detach, do so because it’s good for your health-genetic, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. My comment is based on recognizing them transform in the same way I did when I exited. I’m nowhere near a “privileged kid”, but I still made the executive decision to detach from the Matrix. I didn’t whisk away to a remote location with a private chef, but I did build my own True North of daily activities and personal focus where I currently live, that isn’t consumed by inconsequential, negative priorities. I had the same results: my hair grew thick, shiny, and long, my skin started to perpetually glow, and all dimensions of my health improved drastically, so did my overall quality of life. I incubated myself from engaging with the Matrix and it was a game-changer, like it’s illustrated for the permaculture.

It may seem like that, but I work super hard and there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes that no one ever sees. I AM living my dream life but I have co created this so my mission is to empower others to know that they can do the same!! We can all create our dream life!

My life goal is to road trip around, and then settle down off-grid. Who knows, maybe I will end up in Costa Rica... I am happy to know that I am not the only one who feels stuck in our society, and feels like a better way of living is possible.

Open up your mind to possibilities. By telling yourself you can’t do something because you don’t have the money is automatically limiting and shutting yourself off to ALL THE OTHER possible ways you could end up being able to travel somewhere you’ve always wanted to go. Get out of limitation and step into possibility!!!!

There's communities like this all across the world. It's a real movement and it's exciting. Get out there (if covid allows 😉), connect with your local permaculturists and make connections. These pockets of Eden have a great network system, you'd be surprised.
