What we do

Finca Las Brisas is over 150 acres of unspoiled forest and pasture. Previously a combination of grazing land and dry forest, the finca is presently being transformed into a self-sustaining oasis where the best interests of the environment and our surrounding neighbors come first. Two year round rivers – Rio Frio and Rio Naranjalito flow through the property and feeder streams follow the paths of ancient lava flows; forming picturesque waterfalls and authentic “swimming holes.” Ranging from 750 feet to 1,300 feet above sea level, the farm offers refreshing breezes and spectacular ocean and mountain views. The plentiful “quebradas” (springs) provide fresh, unspoiled water, and the hundreds of fruit trees, coffee groves, and vegetable patches that have been planted are now beginning to produce.
The self-sustaining community is comprised of 24 lots (approximately half of which are still available). There are numerous facilities and site enhancements being constructed for all lot owners to utilize, including a community center complete with infinity pool and commercial kitchen, guest lodging, miles of hiking trails, and off-grid renewable energy systems, plant-based waste management, and a pure water supply.
Currently the lot ownership at Finca Las Brisas is comprised of family, friends and other like-minded parties that share a common interest in developing a sustainable community that makes a positive contribution to surrounding local residents and the environment. We have no guiding social, political, or spiritual philosophy driving the development of the community, other than the desire to do it the right way – utilizing local workers, building materials, food, and energy.
Lot prices range between 105k – 129k and are typically 1.25 acres in size. Some have ocean views, all have stunning mountain and valley views.
If being a part of our unique adventure is of interest, and you would like to stop up for a visit during your stay in the Samara area, please contact us, as we would be happy to show you around…

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest.
