PURA VIDA! Costa Rica: Natura, Architettura, Permacultura, di Rick Meghiddo

 

¡Pura Vida!A Taste of Nature, Architecture, Permaculture and Lifestyle in Costa Ricahttps://vimeo.com/449083408di Rick Meghiddo

“¡Pura Vida!” is a phrase used daily in Costa Rica, which means “pure life” or “simple life.” It is not a slogan; it is a lifestyle, a way of being. Although I had initially planned to make a visual memoir as my 100th documentary, I ultimately decided to dedicate this occasion to our family experience in Costa Rica six years ago. Why? To raise awareness for the urgency of the need for a change in lifestyle as needed today. 

Covid-19 has globally brought us to a turning point. As it impacts the minds of billions of people since post-WW-II, the American Dream has reached a dead-end. It is simply non-sustainable. For the planet to survive and thrive, we must collectively change our mindset. Costa Rica offers a model worth studying carefully. 

The 25-minute documentary presented here tells much more than I may describe in writing, so consider this blog complementary to the film. Our trip was a 1,000+ km long drive nine-day vacation on a moderate budget, which we planned to combine between nature, permaculture, and architecture.

Ciao, speriamo che questa vi trova a tutti bene.

Pensavo di aver perso i fil fatti a Costa Rica sei anni fa, ma gli ho ritrovato, dunque ho deciso di fare questo "documentario di famiglia" con un messaggio che mi sembra sia propizio per questi tempi: il bisogno di cambiare stile di vita.
