January 30–February 8, 2027 | Diamante Valley Go deeper into nature, community and regenerative living This 10-day journey takes you into Costa Rica’s lush Diamante Valley and Pacific Coast, where a newer generation of communities is exploring regenerative living, personal transformation and a deeper relationship with the natural world. Stay at Florestral Community and venture out to communities including HOLOS, Diamante Bridge Collective, Ecomaste, RISE and Qasa. Along the way, experience nature immersions, conversations with community members and founders, bioregional learning and optional adventures to some of the area’s spectacular waterfalls. More immersive and adventurous than our other Costa Rica itineraries, this tour is for those who want to experience community not just as a place to live, but as a different way of relating to people, land and self. A great fit for: Nature lovers, spiritual seekers, changemakers, adventurous travelers, and those drawn to land-based and regenerative ways of living.

The Research Lab is a new space for connection, exchange, and inspiration, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and students interested in ecovillages and regenerative communities. Our intention is to create a vibrant laboratory where we can learn from one another, strengthen collaborations, and advance collective knowledge. 📅 Date: Wednesday September 23rd🕓 Time: 10:30 Brazil / 13:30 UTC / 15:30 CEST (1.5 hour) Zoom link: https://unibas.zoom.us/j/61404061682   Register Here: https://unibas.zoom.us/meeting/register/io_jg3SJQGqRAaIi0eXazw Transitions towards the pluriverse: Place, difference, alliances and autonomy in two Latin American ecovillages Presented by Dr. Rebeca Roysen Professor at the Graduate Program in Tourism and Hospitality, Co-leader of the Sustainability Transitions and the Pluriverse of Alternatives (TranS-PlurAL) research group, Universidade do Vale do Itajaí (UNIVALI), Brazil This study proposes an alternative analytical framework for sustainability transitions research by drawing on critical scholarship on grassroots innovations and post-development studies. Rather than focusing on scalable innovations and socio-technical regime change, it introduces the concept of Transitions Towards the Pluriverse (TTP)—a bottom-up, decolonial, and context-sensitive approach that recognizes the diversity of transition pathways and places local communities and grassroots innovations at the center of transformations. Through two case studies of Latin American ecovillages, Dr. Roysen explores four key analytical dimensions—place, difference, alliances, and autonomy—to examine how ecovillages promote (or sometimes fail to promote) transitions towards the pluriverse. Whether you are an experienced researcher, a practitioner, or a student beginning your journey, you are warmly welcome to join us. We look forward to learning, exchanging ideas, and building this community together. Recent publications by Dr. Rebeca Roysen Roysen, R., Pereira Prado, M. M., Bruehwiler, N., Kos, L., & Koehrsen, J.
