BriefingWire.com, 5/09/2016 – For those who dream of living with nature in Costa Rica, the Serenity Gardens Eco-Village provides a unique opportunity. An eco-village is a growing trend in green living; an international community with a focus on sustainable living. In an eco-village like Serenity Gardens, like-minded people come together to live as a community co-op. In today’s world of over-consumption, many people are beginning to see a grim future for mankind if nothing is done to create a more sustainable society. Eco-living is the solution, or at least a big step in the right direction, according to eco-villagers.

Serenity Gardens is located in south-central Costa Rica, about an hour from San Isidro de General. The community infrastructure focuses on sustainability and community-building. The community goals include providing sustainable food and energy for all the residents. They also try to provide an enriching community with enjoyable activities and educational programs.
Eco-villages in Costa Rica are fairly common, and though they all share the ideal of living simply and greenly, not all eco-villages are created equal. For typical, modern consumers, the idea of eco-living in Costa Rica may seem daunting. Serenity Gardens appreciates that change is difficult.

Flipping the switch from modern life to eco-living might be easier said than done. In Serenity Gardens, the community shares limited resources. But modern amenities are still available, as long as home-owners are willing to provide the extra resources. For example, air conditioning is not considered a necessity, and so is not included in the village’s shared power-grid. But some of the homes in the village do have air conditioning, powered off the grid via generators. In this way, people who have the desire to live with nature in Costa Rica, but who don’t feel ready to leave behind every modern comfort, can have the best of both worlds as they ease into the transition of eco-living.
