For bioregionalists, business leaders, conscious entrepreneurs, and changemakers
who sense that the future of business, communities, and governance needs
a bioregional approach rooted in living systems
"Remember how leadership, business, and community can serve the needs of a living bioregion —from the ground up."
A 7–14 day hands-on experience in the Osa Peninsula that fosters the local culture while refining your leadership skills. Come and explore embodied models of regenerative leadership, economy, stewardship, and care, while actively enriching one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth—home to 2.5% of global biodiversity.
The Osa Bioregional Leadership Lab is an intimate setting that invites leaders into living experience of being the change we all talk about. This is not a conference or a passive retreat. It is an immersive learning journey that invites you to reconnect to what matters most and clarify your next steps as leaders in a rapidly changing world.
The Osa Bioregional Learning Lab also serves as a bridge for leaders visiting Envision, Madremonte, Shanti Wasi retreats, and Blissburn. Offering a grounded, place-based pathway to integrate inspiration into regenerative action.
Hosted by an experienced team of grassroots community weavers, organizers, and contributors.
The Immersion is a carefully held by the Los Higuerones team members and mixes hands-on learning, cultural immersion, place-based wisdom, and inner work. The Los Higuerones community is a mix of locals, and incomers with different skillsets.
From (Indigenous) artists, weavers, teachers, scientifically educated in sustainability and leadership, political promotors, holistic health practitioners, to facilitators in Theory U, Non-violent Communication, NLP, we bridge the different worlds that are living in the Osa..
