Time to play the world-famous game, Guess That Leaf! 😆🌿🍃🌱🥬

Clues: it’s endemic/native to Ecuador and Colombia, grows on a fruit tree, cures cancer, and when the leaves are dried (like in the video) it makes a deliiiicious tea. 🤤

Bonus clue: @stephenrbrooks has a world-famous song dedicated to this plant!

Da-da-dada-da! Which one is it?!

🌿✨ From Cattle Pasture to Edible Paradise.

What was once a 42-acre cattle farm in San Mateo, Costa Rica, has been transformed into something extraordinary. 🌱🌴

Welcome to Casa Brisa at La Ecovilla, where sustainable living, nature, and community come together.

🌳 Pastures transformed into thriving edible forests
🥬 Shared organic gardens
🥾 Nature trails, yoga spaces & a community rancho
📚 The Real World School right inside the community
🌎 Families from around the world creating a connected, intentional way of life
📍 Just 45 minutes from San José and under 40 minutes from the beach

This isn’t just about owning a home. It’s about choosing a different way to live. One where children grow up connected to nature, neighbors become friends, and community is part of everyday life. 💚

🏡 Discover Casa Brisa at La Ecovilla.

What if the future we wish to create could be experienced, together?

From December 13–19, the Gaian Nation UP Game arrives in Costa Rica, inviting visionary leaders, change makers and creators of the future to embark on a journey through one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

A week of Pura Vida, extraordinary landscapes, regenerative living and meaningful connections — exploring what becomes possible when we come together at our highest potential.

Through radical hope, collective transformation and unifying narratives, we’ll experience more than a journey.

A game to create the future.

I sat down with legendary ethnobotanist and community builder Stephen Brooks to understand why we need to move beyond sustainability and “make a radical shift”.

The feedback has been amazing on this latest episode. I’ve been wanting to speak to @stephenrbrooks for a long time.

Find it wherever you get your podcasts or on our YouTube channel. The links are in our bio!

Keep growing! 🌱

This house began with a vision… and a cattle farm. 🌱🏡

Before La Ecovilla existed, this land was open pasture in the hills of San Mateo, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

One of the people who imagined something different, a community where families live with the land, not off it, built his own home right here. 🌳✨

Today the pasture is a food forest 🍃 The gardens are shared 🥭 And families from around the world call it home 🌎

And for the first time ever… his home is available. 👀

🔑 Comment VISION and I’ll send you the full story and private tour details.

📌 Save this for your Costa Rica dream board.
💬 Share it with someone who’s always said “one day we’ll move to Costa Rica…”

The most important knowledge we can learn 🌱

Herbalism empowers us to have medicine, community and self reliance wherever we go, which I think is the most essential education right now.

In a world forgetting everything about our true nature, I’ve been trying to remember.

Rewild. Return to the old ways.

Before massive corporations mutated health into a slew of products to put on shelves, processed and packaged and designed to keep us chained.

The medicine is, and always has been, around us. 👁️

And that’s something AI can’t teach. The personal connection and deep, organic expansion that comes from learning how to work with plants is something that gives me unrivaled peace.

I know that no matter what happens, nature has my back.

…and I learned a lot of this with @ecoversity 📚

In their 100 Hour Herbalism Program, you learn EVERYTHING - no seriously - everything about the craft. From a diverse board of experts, you’re taught a holistic, complete curriculum. From plant identification to 30+ medicine making recipes… water harvesting to wild foraging. Even the business side of it, if you’re looking to establish a career.

This course is perfect for someone ready to start walking a different path. 🌲🦶🏼

With lifetime access for learning at your own pace, as well as 25 hours of live classes and mentorship. This is online learning that translates into a better reality.

The global community of likeminded plant freaks that I’ve come into through @ecoversity has been a web that’s made a lot of my dreams come true…

Discover your true nature and join us at the FREE herbal summit to get a taste of the magic! 🔮

If you’ve been looking for the right course and you’re ready to dive in, use code PATCHOULI to save on tuition.

A better world is out there, and it starts with us. 🌿

All around the world, people are working to regenerate degraded ecosystems. And at the same time, many of us are remembering how plants can help us care for and restore our own bodies.

The potential for healing, both personal and planetary, is enormous. And some of our greatest teachers have been here all along: the plants themselves.

This October, we’re gathering 34 herbalists, medicine makers, clinicians, and teachers who have spent their lives learning from them.

Join us October 14–16 for the FREE online Herbal Medicine Making Summit, with three days of practical, inspiring sessions to bring more herbal medicine into your hands and home.
