"WOMEN-CENTERED"
COMMUNITY?

For BALVIDA, a women-centered community represents one founded on matriarchal principles-- prioritizing sustainable, consensus-based practices instead of dominating, hierarchical models. You can find more info on modern matriarchy at MODERN MATRIARCHY ONLINE.
WHAT IS BALVIDA
OFFERING THE COMMUNITY?
As acknowledgement of the totality of our presence here and with the intention of developing a mutually-beneficial relationship to the existing community, BALVIDA has made a commitment to land rematriation, free housing for Costa Rican women, resource-sharing and other measures. More details can be found in the "Community Initiatives" section of the BALVIDA Book.
