CCRL is a bioregional hub demonstrating regenerative practices that restore ecosystems, revitalize local economies, and transform human well-being. Our work extends beyond sustainability; we focus on creating systems that replenish, enhance, and evolve, ensuring that every action leads to greater biodiversity, economic opportunity, and human resilience.
-
✔ Living Regeneration in Action: Located on 40 acres of ecologically significant land adjacent to the St. Sebastian River and a 22,000-acre nature preserve, CCRL integrates land conservation, economic innovation, and human transformation into a cohesive, regenerative model.
✔ Restoring and Improving Natural Systems: Our regenerative land management programs actively improve biodiversity, soil health, and water systems through wetland restoration, agroforestry, and sustainable watershed management.
✔ Catalyzing Economic Growth Through Regeneration: We stimulate local economies by creating platforms for small businesses, artisans, and wellness entrepreneurs to flourish through events, marketplaces, and education.
✔ Regenerative Wellness & Education: CCRL creates transformative experiences through immersive retreats, wellness programs, and scholarships that help individuals reconnect with themselves and their environment.
By combining environmental restoration, community empowerment, and economic revitalization, CCRL actively builds systems that are not just sustainable, but exponentially better—for the land, for businesses, and for people
