- Today we’re at Alegría Village in the hills of San Mateo, Costa Rica, exploring what a community-driven regenerative future looks like, and getting to know the people who are making it happen.
Located about an hour from the country’s capital of San Jose, Alegría Village is a haven for those seeking to live a self-sufficient, mindful, and regenerative life, while also ensuring that their impact is as minimal yet as beneficial to the surrounding environment as possible.
Founded in 2018, Alegría Village was created by co founder Stephen Brookes as a sister site to his other two eco-villages in Costa Rica: Punta Mona on the Caribbean coast, and La EcoVilla, next door to Alegría Village.
Some of the footage in this video belongs to Alegría Village, Punta Mona and Eco Villa.

I can't believe I missed this when it came out I have notifications on and everything. Looks amazing I would love to live somewhere like that!
Don’t worry! Thank you 💚 Us too
Wow that is so inspiring!! My wife and I (and baby!) have a vision to build eco-village resorts around the world and this place is definitely going to be a source of inspiration! Thanks for the video tour 😊🌎🌱💖
That is one of the most beautifully designed eco villages I have seen so far ❤❤❤
AMAZING! It has a real future❤
cant believe ive lived in costa rica for almost 20 years and didnt knew about this!!
Costa Rica is already so sustainable, relative to other countries. Would be great to see this in countries that produce the most waste, like the US.
Yes!
Aren't Costa rica one of the country that use the most pesticide and suffer from poaching and déforestation ?
@@deinsilverdrac8695 Not sure where you've heard that. Any sources? Costa Rica does A LOT to protect their forests.
I wonder how AI/AGI might be able to help coordinate various ecovillages to take advantage of economies of scale, coordinate needed services, and provide a trading network among them. This could be the beginning of a real alternative model for "development".
How can you build a village? Did you buy the land first from the locals?
Land is needed first thing, better buy as a community or keep sharing it legally
What about the space it takes? Its looks amazing but is it actually sustainable or just wealthy people "green" luxury?
The buildings are made using mainly materials sourced from the land. The space was previously cattle farming land which they are regenerating.
How do you become part of a community like this?
Get in touch with them :)
How do you live here?
Is everything natural or gmo and mixed with biotech? All natural design and organic?
Natural / organic
@@GoingGreenOfficial FANTASTIC 🥰
It’s pronounced A-lay-gree-a.
Are you being impacted by the drought? How has it impacted your village?
