Tierra Valiente (Brave Earth) is rooted on ancestral Maleku territory in the Arenal region of Costa Rica surrounded by tropical rainforest and the Chachagua River. We are a regenerative farm, mutual-aid network, and living place of practice for cultivating life-affirming futures rooted in relationship, responsibility, and care for the living Earth. Our Center for Cultural Transitions offers space for unlearning and learning at the intersection of the political, spiritual, and ecological. Micelia is our community-led mutual aid network and is committed to food sovereignty, ecological stewardship and community resilience in San Juan, Peñas Blancas, Costa Rica. We believe resilience grows through the soil of relationships, nurtured by solidarity, care, and collective action. Our non profit entity is Asociación Tierra Valiente Trust and is fiscally sponsored by Amigos De Costa Rica.
