Diamante Luz

Diamante Luz is a space for integrated collaboration and cooperation with nature. Our residents, neighbors, and visitors have been drawn to the area in order to co-create a space for living and working in balance with all of our relations. As the first node of the Diamante Bridge Collective, we are passionate about the integration of permaculture and shared common land-based resources. We offer learning environments for ecological wellness and restoration so all ages can share knowledge and connect with the wisdom of this place. We provide spaces for things such as:<ul><li>Cultural centers for artisans</li><li>Processing kitchens for medicinal and food preparations</li><li>Syntropic food forests for food security&nbsp;</li><li>Mentoring those passionate about becoming leaders of local food movements&nbsp;</li><li>Environmentally responsible regenerative businesses</li></ul> All whilst offering the space for personal development through community interaction. We are an evolving eco-village of nomadic co-creators at the beginning stages of development with many opportunities for regenerative investment for the benefit of future generations.&nbsp; The land itself has drawn us in with two majestic waterfalls of dramatically different characters, a spring that is in need of replenishment through reforestation efforts, and a three hectare section of land that we have set aside as protected forest and waterways.&nbsp; Much of our work takes place in transforming the ten hectares of pasture into a thriving live/work community with opportunities for collective and personal land stewardship. We are inspired to share our passions for clean water, healthy soil, clean air, and beautiful sustainable structures.﻿ <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s0kqmjopiRs?showinfo=0"></iframe></div>﻿ <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWVJKzjSyUHQJQhDjpYwRQhKTPxkCKNocp7GevHgw3hdr">Our beautiful onsite waterfall, who we lovingly call Abuela.

Currently our most solid structure on the land, and built with our own loving hands, and the help of many volunteers.

Each meeting starts with a "check-in", giving each person a chance to share with the group how they are feeling and what might be going on, on a personal level. This is part of how we look after each other, connect from the heart, and keep the communication channels open as we continue to build this new way of living together... a model we are constantly defining and creating as it unfolds before us. <img src="https://giveth.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmR8qb2aozRzbXT5PdjzBEnMwyT3iyf5hFwvutH4yaRX61">We value art, music, creativity and play!
