Finca Sagrada Association and its role in Vilcabamba

The Asociación Finca Sagrada, in direct collaboration with Arbol Co(n) Razón, stewards a reforestation initiative on the sacred mountain Kuntur Wachana, working to restore native forests and protect vital watersheds. The association also directly manages the community garden project in Tumianuma, empowering local families to reclaim food sovereignty through regenerative growing practices. Beyond these core initiatives, Asociación Finca Sagrada serves as a legal and organizational anchor for emerging social and environmental projects throughout Vilcabamba, offering its formal personería jurídica to grassroots efforts that align with its mission of ecological healing, cultural resilience, and community-led transformation.

The Piscobamba River Watershed Regenerative Bioregion

A vibrant circle of changemakers—Ecuadorians and internationals—is on the verge of launching the new Bioregion initiative in Vilcabamba, rooted in the conviction that bioregional stewardship is one of the most powerful ways to transform the world. This collaborative effort weaves together permaculture design, community-led governance, local currencies, and regenerative land practices to cultivate a living model of resilience, reciprocity, and ecological belonging. By defining their work within the natural boundaries of the watershed and respecting the cultural and ecological uniqueness of southern Ecuador, this group is fostering a shift from extraction to regeneration—from global dependency to local abundance.

Ainachay, the
magic continues

Nestled beside Finca Sagrada, Ainachay is a four-hectare parcel of land poised to become a sanctuary for contemplation, learning, and regenerative practice. Walter envisions this space as a center for Anthroposophical thought—where the spiritual insights of Rudolf Steiner meet the living wisdom of Andean ancestral traditions. Here, workshops will explore the inner dimensions of agriculture, education, and social renewal, while biodynamic farming classes will invite participants to cultivate not only the soil but also their own inner connection to cosmic and earthly rhythms. More than a teaching venue, Ainachay aims to be a living bridge between esoteric Western philosophy and indigenous cosmovision, fostering dialogue, co-creation, and a deeper sense of reverence for the land and the unseen forces that sustain it.
