Accelerate the transition towards a regenerative Osa community. Fund our weavers and stewards that have put themselves in service to re*store, re*new, and re*pair all that is needed to re*establish a healthy relationship among all beings in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. We are a global collective that funds place-based Osa weavers and stewards for the essential work and grassroots projects they are carrying out. By stimulating the redistribution and revaluation of our capital system we aim to upcycle the local economy to a regenerative economy. An economy that celebrates and serves the natural abundance that the Osa and her habitants are enriched with, supporting all her livelihoods and capitals to thrive. Why the Osa?The Osa is a climax ecosystem that is part of the Golfo Dulce ecosystem that holds 2.5% of the Earth's biodiversity. Her energy is inspiring, healing, and inviting us to come home into our own natural state. The state in which we find our peace, our creativity, and love for the greater-than-human world around us. She invites us to just BE. Read more about her unique natural beauty <a href="https://osaconservation.org/about-the-osa-peninsula/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>! We invite you to alchemise your care for current and future generations of earth habitants by in*vesting 2.5% of whatever into the 2.5% of the Earth’s biodiversity.Join*in the ReGenerOsa Collective today!

Every 7 days a group of volunteers organized by Los Higuerones and ASCONA both local and community-oriented organizations, go to a farm to help producers with different tasks. The main focus is to support local producers in improving their agricultural practices into more healthy and ecological ways for themselves and for their lands, supporting the food sovereignty of the area and the access to healthier products for the population of Puerto Jimenez. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmXdQgTsuXP6nisdiDXyXZdeZa7U3oetpWrtLgxtn9FPPR">Osa Weavers - Council of Eight All members of the Council of Eight have their individual unique gifts and network to share.
