An EcoHub community living and working on regenerating land
The why

Most of us feel a little disconnected — from nature, from each other, from work that matters.

We're not the first to dream of living differently. People have tried for decades. And most intentional communities don't fail on solar panels or vegetable beds — they fail on the hard, human part: conflict, unclear decisions, burnout, who-does-what.

EcoHubs starts with that hard part. Clear human structure first, then the land, the buildings, the business. So belonging isn't a hope — it's something the community is actually built to hold.

What is an EcoHub?

A small community that lives well together — and gives more to the land than it takes.

Picture a handful of households on regenerating land: shared gardens and kitchens, low-impact homes, real work and real income, and a way of making decisions together that actually holds. Not a commune, not an eco-resort — a living place designed to be repeated.

01

Regenerate, don't sustain. Leave soil, water and people better.

02

People before infrastructure. Settle the human system first.

03

Belonging by design. Clear roles, fair repair, real voice.

04

Replicable, not precious. Built so the next hub is easier.

Six minutes inside the vision — morning to evening in a working hub.

The system

Four pillars hold an EcoHub up. Miss one and it tilts.

This is the part that's usually skipped — so it's the part we built first.

Human structure (RCOS)

Explicit, agreed rules for decisions, roles and repair — so communities don't fail on conflict.

The right place

A map weighing 29+ data sources — water, climate, soil, community — to find where an EcoHub will actually thrive. Sites shortlisted across 3 continents.

A real business

Every EcoHub is also a regenerative enterprise — so it pays for itself instead of running on goodwill and grants.

income, not subsidy

A network, not an island

Hubs connect and share. A regenerative finance model lets one healthy hub help fund the next.

Building it for real

The homes already exist — and they're buildable almost anywhere.

This isn't a render. Natural builder Javier Yanez has developed an affordable, replicable geodesic dome system: CNC-cut frames assembled with local, natural materials. A 7-metre dome runs roughly $10k–$20k — strong, beautiful, and within reach.

Honest answers

The questions people actually ask.

No. The waitlist is free and completely non-binding. You're saying "tell me more, keep me posted" — nothing else. You can leave any time, and joining never obligates you to move, pay, or decide anything.
