ÁUREA: Costa Rica’s First Regenerative Hub for Wellness, Culture & Clean Living in the city

Introduction to the Metaproblem

As urban inflation, gentrification, and ecological breakdown accelerate across Costa Rica, local communities are increasingly disconnected from health, culture, and land. Globalized food systems, skyrocketing living costs, and concrete-dominated cities have eroded public space, driving a wedge between people and nature - and making regenerative, conscious living inaccessible to most.

Core Problem in the Bioregion

In central San José, neighborhoods like La Sabana are becoming unaffordable due to foreign speculation and urban sprawl. While land is developed for profit, locals are displaced, cultural spaces disappear, and access to nutritious food, community wellness, and artistic expression is lost.

Meanwhile, regenerative producers, artists, facilitators, and purpose-driven entrepreneurs lack a stable platform to share their work and scale their impact.

Proposed Solution

ÁUREA is a regenerative ecohub that weaves together conscious gastronomy, holistic wellness, sustainable design, and social innovation - all under one roof.

Located in the heart of Costa Rica’s capital, Áurea offers:

• A zero-waste conscious store supporting 250+ local eco-entrepreneurs
• A farm-to-table gastronomic experience powered by local, organic ingredients
• A transformational event venue for workshops, ceremonies, and artistic gatherings
• A coworking garden and creative hub for regenerative collaboration and cultural activation
• A platform for women, artists, and indigenous-led initiatives to thrive economically and socially

Áurea isn’t just a space — it’s a living blueprint for equitable urban regeneration.

What Makes It Unique

Áurea blends aesthetics, ethics, and systemic impact into one scalable model. Unlike isolated wellness centers or generic event spaces, Áurea operates as a living ecosystem — rooted in regenerative business principles, community governance, and beauty as a force for change.

What sets it apart:

• A hybrid business model combining rentals, retail, gastronomy, and wellness services
• Sliding-scale community access and solidarity pricing for inclusivity
• Zero waste commitment and alliances with Costa Rica’s leading environmental nonprofits
• A vision to scale through franchises and licensing across Latin America
