The Diamante Bridge Collective (DBC) is an association of individual contributors, local organizations, and global partners working together as an interdependent network of autonomous communities to cultivate a planetary paradise. We are creating foundational agreements and more regenerative economies that empower us all to take better care of our bioregion, our neighbors and ourselves.
Primarily located in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica, our membership spans the planet as both land-based and digital participants in the collaborative process of redefining value by re-aligning it with shared values. We operate in the space where public goods and private ownership meet personal responsibility and collective power.
Our Purpose
We are here to connect as bridges, building supportive relationships of respect between diverse people, communities and cultures. We consciously choose to live in harmony with nature and work to restore trust with one another whilst we transform our operating systems through more just and resilient programs. We learn from the past, then aim toward a present where everyone’s needs are met and the prosperity of Earth is endowed for the future generations.

Diamante Bridge Collective
The Diamante Bridge Collective is a sociocratic organization created to coordinate the efforts of individuals and organizations towards the equitable “care for” and “distribution of” the natural and human created resources that support and provide a feedback loop for thriving communities.
Clean water, clean air, and healthy soil are common natural resources that deserve protection and aligned action so that our future generations can thrive. The DBC is here to support the stewardship of these common resources through creating Land Trusts that have the health of the natural and human environment as their primary beneficiaries.

Permaculture Local Youth Scholarships
We are returning to living in harmony with Mother Earth and our web of relationships. Integrating ancient wisdom traditions with modern Permaculture, WE ARE serving as living bridges between an imbalanced history… and a brighter future.
Through this program, we are empowering and supporting local youth with 1 month immersions where we learn together on Permaculture, Syntropic Agroforestry, Community Living and other important tools, where similar immersion programs are usually out of reach for the local youth.
By empowering young Costa Ricans, we are building cultural bridges as well as spreading regenerative Earth Stewards with knowledge, passion, techniques, experience, seeds, and plants far and wide.
Ríos Limpios Grey Water Filters
We want clean rivers and oceans, and we can do something about it !
We have found a simple and inexpensive solution which uses plants and other organic materials to filter out the toxins before they end back up in the local watershed.
In an effort to stop the pollution in the nearby rivers of San Savador, Baru, Costa Rica, we have successfully installed several Grey Water Filters to serve as examples and educate the local neighbors on this efficient solution.
