Center for Applied Cultural Transition
At Brave Earth we are in an inquiry about how to adapt, create more resiliency and become more attuned to the current cultural context. This context is referred to as the Anthropocene, late-stage capitalism or the Kali Yuga.
Regardless of the description, to be a contributing force for cultural evolution we will need to embody new and ancient ways of being. This requires great acts of courage as we shed our old belief systems and programming.
As a living laboratory we are holding the questions of how do we decolonize our minds from the dominant culture of capitalism, patriarchy, racialized hierarchies, scarcity logic and oppressive systems of control? How do we become stewards in service to all Life?
About
Living Lab
PRAYER
Rather than a traditional mission statement, we hold a prayer.
Our prayer is to create an imprint of lived possibility in solidarity with all Life, in dialogue with the living planet, and in service to the collective transition.
Expression
We are embodied through a healing arts center, regenerative farm, mutual-aid network, and emerging residential community.
Experience
Root & Remember
Rather than offering a place of retreat and escape, we are offering a place to root and remember. We’re curating experiences to decolonize the conditioning of the dominant culture and expand our ability to be in deeper service to Life.

Mutual aid network
Fuerza De Amor
Fuerza De Amor is a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit, mutual aid network. We create deeper connection through acts of solidarity, reciprocity and service enriching the ecosystem in which we are embedded.
Location
Welcome to the Rainforest
Our living lab is located about 2.5 hours northeast from San Jose in the community of San Juan, San Isidro de Peñas Blancas. We acknowledge and honor the Maleku people who are indigenous to this territory. We are stewarding an 80-acre commons nestled between the Children’s Eternal Rainforest, one of the largest protected regions of rainforest north of the Amazon, and Volcano Arenal.
