About.

Nestled within the lush Costa Rican jungle near Arenal Volcano, Protopia is an intentional community and permaculture farm cultivating pro-equality ideals and fostering social and technological innovations. Through the exploration of topics such as alternative economics, participative governance, socially-oriented enterprises, personal development, and system thinking, Protopia seeks to redefine societal paradigms. As an integral community, it's meant to be a place for trans-personal growth, where the self blends into the collective by experimenting different ways of living and collaborating together. Using nature as inspiration and guide, we are building a vibrant hub empowering people to make the world a better place for our big human family and all the other beings that we share this beautiful planet with.
