OUR PHILOSOPHY
We are all contributing to our planet’s story. Here’s how we intend to play our part:
Support Local, Not Multinational: As much as possible, we avoid giving our money to large corporations. We choose to work with people we can meet, talk to, and genuinely connect with—which is why we give minimal attention, energy, and money to big corporations.
Pursue Self-Sufficiency in Water and Energy: Our goal is to become fully self-sufficient in water and energy production as soon as possible. The technology is available, and we’re driven to make it happen!
Support Local Producers and Small Businesses: We prioritize local and like-minded businesses, using mostly organic ingredients and eco-friendly products made by people we know personally, either on the island or from our home communities. So, at our place, you won’t find products like Coca-Cola, Kleenex, or Cheerios.
Minimize Waste: Nature teaches us that nothing goes to waste; everything has the potential to be transformed. We’re committed to reducing, reusing, recycling, and upcycling in every aspect of our work.
What we do and create around us is deeply connected to our core beliefs, so let’s start there.
We believe everything is energy. The energy we put into the world is the energy that returns to us, coming from the same direction! To create the best environment for ourselves, we make sure to invest our best energies in the right directions.
We also believe that money is energy, so we invest it in ways that contribute to the paradise we all deserve. This is why, in every part of La Curandera, we’ve chosen to invest in our local community—its people, and its products (or products from small, conscious producers from our home communities).
We know that together, with respect and love for our planet and its natural cycles, we can thrive in harmony with each other and with all living creatures.
We will tell the story of everyone who has contributed to this journey—from the kind soul who cares for our chickens to the talented artists who upcycle our rooms, and everyone in between. We believe everyone has a beautiful, inspiring story to share, and we’re here to tell it, inviting our guests to add their stories to ours.
