YACUMAMA is a regenerative community land project in Costa Rica. A space for community & connection to the deepest parts of ourselves and all life. A cultural center for transformational experiences for the evolution of humanity. We are so happy that you found your way here and that we get to share a little about Yacumama with you. Creating Yacumama is a response to a spirit mission given to many of us to create eco-villages, sanctuaries, food forests, temples, & places we can come together in connection. Our deepest prayer for Yacumama is to create a living field of unity where the illusion of separation dissolves, a place to remember who we truly are and be inspired to be more loving humans, standing powerfully in our purpose as devoted stewards of this earth. This living field is alive, growing, and evolving as we listen. We are exploring new and ancient ways of living in community rooted in sacred reciprocity, connection & regeneration.
