Where I’ve Been Spending My Energy
For the past few years, I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes to give hands-on support to regenerative village projects. I help them clarify their vision, choose the right land, recruit aligned members, and design financial + governance structures that actually work in the real world.
Consulting villages has been energizing, but also very private.
My consulting work has historically come through direct referrals and projects approaching me for support. I've been too buried in it all to share this side of my work publicly, even though it’s some of the most impactful work I do.
However, it’s been a joy to translate these village lessons here on the Terrenity publication since January 2024, and the publication continues to receiving glowing response.
Truth is, village builders need more support than blog posts and free resources can provide.
Each project is unique—shaped by its land, people, culture, and local regulations. And the early decisions you make (ownership, governance, funding, development sequence) can make or break your village.
So for the first time this year, I’m opening up 2 consulting slots for founders who are ready to build with confidence.
About Terrenity
I founded Terrenity when my interest in ecovillages turned into my career. I’ve been writing, researching, and consulting ecovillages and intentional communities for 7.5 years. I’ve advised 17+ ecovillage projects across Costa Rica, Mexico, Italy, Guyana, Dominican Republic, Thailand, Germany, and the U.S., helping them avoid critical mistakes and go from losing money to thriving.
I just finished serving as Communications Director for the Global Ecovillage Network, helping connect a global movement of ecovillage and intaking all requests for their community consulting.
