"Fight for the things you care about
But do it in a way
that will lead others to join you."

Our Satya
We believe it’s important to share the inspiration behind Satya Gardens—because transparency and
authenticity are the foundation of trust. By opening up about our journey, we hope to build meaningful
connections with everyone who becomes part of this vision.
​
Vulnerability is at the heart of Satya, and of life itself. By expressing our truth and the passion that drives us,
we aim to inspire others to follow their own path and help create a more compassionate, connected community.
Below, you’ll find the core principles that guide us, along with a deeper look into the intentions shaping Satya Gardens.
For The Planet
We live on the most magnificent planet covered with miraculous landscapes, beautiful blue oceans, and endless natural wonders. It is home to over 8.7 BILLION species!
Our planet is currently undergoing significant shifts, with well-documented impacts on the quality of our soil, water, and air. Unfortunately, many of these changes have been
for the worse. While this reality is difficult to accept, there is hope—
positive change is still possible!
At Satya Gardens, we will restore soil health using permaculture practices and sustainable land management techniques. To conserve our most precious natural resource, water, we plan to collect and recycle it up to 4x throughout the property. By giving back to the land and water systems, we’ll also naturally improve air quality, as the increased presence of plants and trees will help sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
Everything is interconnected, and when each of us makes small changes, we can create powerful ripples that contribute to healing our planet.
For Our Communities
Community is essential for our well-being. We thrive when we share knowledge, skills, meals, and experiences, leading to greater happiness and improved health. At Satya Gardens, we believe in the power of giving back to local communities and fostering connections that enrich our lives.
​
We are committed to establishing a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that will provide local groups with opportunities for learning and healing at no cost. We also organize clean-up days to protect our environment. By coming together and sharing our unique skills and passions, we can uplift one another and create a lasting positive impact in our communities.
For The Animals
Costa Rica is rich in biodiversity, home to around 5% of the world’s species, despite covering only 0.03% of the Earth’s landmass. The wildlife here plays a crucial role in maintaining the planet’s health, and it’s our responsibility to cherish and protect these amazing creatures.
​
At Satya Gardens, we are dedicating over 60% of our land to nature and animal conservation. We will collaborate closely with local wildlife conservationists in Costa Rica to protect, study, and care for this area, ensuring that these animals always have a safe haven to call home.
For Our Food Systems
Our food systems have drastically changed over the past 50 years, with produce and food items modified for size and shelf life. This shift has led to the consumption of unrecognizable ingredients and artificial additives linked to health concerns. While people once connected closely with their food—growing gardens or supporting local farmers—today’s market is dominated by large grocery chains, putting small to medium-sized organic farms at risk.
​
To improve our health and the planet’s well-being, we need to embrace a more holistic food system. Commercial farming practices degrade our soil and are unsustainable. You don’t need to grow all your food, but cultivating herbs or vegetables can be rewarding. Supporting local organic farms is crucial for promoting sustainable practices and ensuring access to nutritious food for all. We are what we eat, and it's vital to prioritize natural, wholesome foods for our thriving communities.
For Intentional Connection
Intentional connection is essential for embracing satya. We are all interconnected—plants, animals, ecosystems, and people—and each of us plays an important role. This connection is a fundamental pillar of a healthy, fulfilling life, helping us calm our minds and open up to collaboration and creativity, ultimately fostering a vibrant community.
​
At Satya Gardens, we provide resources to nurture intentional connections with ourselves and others. Our daily offerings include yoga, guided meditation, and breathwork exercises for group bonding, along with serene gardens for individual reflection. We also host educational workshops and retreats, allowing individuals to learn and connect with like-minded community members, inspiring a profound connection of mind, body, and spirit.
For Education
One of our favorite aspects of Satya Gardens is the opportunity to connect with others through education. Like many of our future guests, we are new to permaculture,
off-grid living, and natural building, and we are thrilled to create a space where
people can come together to learn these invaluable skills and insights from
experts around the globe.
We are excited to empower ourselves and our communities with knowledge and hands-on experience that will enable us to educate others around the globe.
For Our Future
Our primary goal in establishing Satya Gardens is to create a safe space where people, animals, and nature can thrive, allowing future generations to
experience, learn from, and enjoy it.
​
We aim to leave this planet knowing that we played our part in contributing to the well-being of both our planet and our communities.
​
We are connectors, collaborators, and creators, and we hope that Satya Gardens will serve as a place where people, animals, and nature can come together to connect, collaborate, and create.
