Who We Are

We are adventurers living a dream on a tropical island
Ten years ago we left France to find another way. After living many years in Costa Rica, we were bowled over by the untouched beauty of the Golfo de Chiriqui. Since 2014, we have been learning a whole new way of life with a renewed sense of purpose. 

The adventure begins on Isla Muerto Dead Man Island, the name always elicits a reaction however there's nothing sinister to it. The island has a long history and many archeological artifacts were found but it's really the shape of the island - long and thin, with elevations reminiscent of a recumbent figure - that gave its name. The position as though it's heading out to sea makes me think of the burial ceremonies in Lord of the rings and Game of Thrones!
Situated on the Northern tip -  the leg - our ten acre property straddles the island and reaches down to the east and west shores giving us amazing sunrises and sunsets.
​Starting over in our 50's, we plan to integrate the fabric of the island without upsetting the natural balance and to share the experience with others who share our vision: conservative use of resources, protection of the environment, permaculture.​

The human shape  is the reason behind the island's name

We love new projects!
volunteers welcome
After years of hard work where we cleared land, built up the infrastructure and learned by doing we can now welcome our first volunteers.
