Apply below.
All courses (in the U.S., outside the U.S.) will require that certain materials need to be obtained. Students will receive personal supply recommendations; we try to keep the costs under 100$. Qualified individuals are listed in our online directory, and admitted to our Alumni forums, where discussions to further the diet and fitness science are had. Renewal Certifications will require roughly five hours of the new study in a specialized yearly renewal course to maintain an always conscious and evolving standard as the diet improves and progresses. They are sponsored by Best Bocas Vacation Rental.
Learn Permaculture & Nutritional Diversity in Costa Rica or Panama
More About the Study Centers:
There are a few differences between the Panama and Costa Rica locations that people likely want to know. We get many questions about this so we have tried to address most of them here in the following descriptions.
Tuition includes meals, room, and board and can cost between $2000 and $5000 per person depending on the time and accommodation level (fill out the application above to find out more).
FACILITIES
We facilitate our study between two sites, one in Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica, and one in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
The concept of eating a high diversity of foods is the path less or never traveled currently in the age of mono-crop farming and the local grocer. Centrally distributed foods consist of harmful agriculture practices – that kill and mutate thousands of pollinators and the very earth it is grown on. Most of us have never eaten sufficient diversity ever in our lives, and most of our parents have the same to say.
We have embarked on what has come to be known as the biodiverse food study, in Panama and Costa Rica, a dive into the depths of highly diverse, intelligent, and strategic diet and performance testing.
This endeavor has realized a new level of input for a new level of output and our athletic testing shows large increases in abilities and performances in every individual case and in every category of performance ie, mental (subcategories cognitive performance, creative expression, stress /mood, and disorder improvements), physical (subcategories of balance, dexterity, reaction timing, overall speed, and circuit strength, immune strength, normal vital conditions, obesity, blood sugar balancing and healing). The results of studies are nothing short of amazing and the pursuit is ongoing.
From time to time we host various learning opportunities, group studies, and other events in the realms of nutritional and athletic performance.
Costa Rica NDdiet & Permaculture Study Center
Costa Rica location is 2 hours from Uvita, at 6k elevation on a four-hectare ( roughly 16 acres) farm that produces a Nutritional Diversity Diet of around 75 to 100 species there on site.
The other cool thing about this location is it is in Costa Rica. Pura Vida is a real thing, and Costa is a very cool country.
The coolest thing is the large organic markets a product of the fact that Costa Rica is a top spot for permaculture and organic farming – there are thousands of farms here.
Coming out of our pipeline, you will have side-door access to a lot of the coolest ones, and sites, like world-famous waterfalls, etc., and we can help you efficiently and effectively plan out some farm visits and further travels to add depth to the experience in tropical and sustainable living, excellent nutrition and permaculture – the future.
It is a bit more expensive than Panama in Costa Rica, it is about the same price as in the United States for things.
Our center there is far from towns in beautiful mountainous terrain. There are many steep hills, great views, and beautiful rivers.
The facility has a main three-bedroom house where older couples or first-time jungle trekkers may prefer. This house has a fantastic yoga deck for the mornings and is a typical house like in the States or Europe with standard tile floors, ordinary bathrooms, and a full kitchen.
The Community Center has two five-person dormitories, two couples cabins (beds for children available to families learning together), two toilets, and two showers.
Also is a small library and reading center, a large group dining area, laundry area, and kitchen area. The area surrounded in luscious tropical gardens and terraces and the central point of the site is a small greenhouse packed with herbs.
Costa Rica Mountain ND & Permaculture Study Center FAQ
Ask your own question! We will get back to you!
What kind of sleeping arrangements are available?
Dorms to private rooms to private houses and cabins are available at our Costa Rica site.
Why have two locations? What are the differences?
Costa Rica is the cutting edge of permaculture on the planet as a nation, the only country who has a dp=eartment of peace and does not have a department of defense has been home to hippies and their kids by the millions that have lived there over 70 years doing homesteads and permacultures.
The mountain microclimate we study in Costa Rica that is cold at night is great! So is the beach weather near to it.
Costa Rica’s facility can handle a bit larger class sizes, whereas many new to the tropics folks or those coming from luxury living may prefer the transition at the Bocas location which features a fairly luxurious guest house and the immediate area (the island) has a bit more infrastructure and things to do.
Panama NDdiet & Permaculture Study Center
The Bocas del Toro Islands have become a very popular tourist and surf spot, and permaculture here is growing.
We have been very fortunate to have a couple of really valuable minds out here in the vibrant Caribbean island archipelago from the world of permaculture pioneering.
Several 5-star tours, hotels, and restaurants are mixed in with backpacker hostels and cool food places from around the globe.
Several other educational centers including several marine biologies and ecological sites located on the main island known as Colon for Christopher Colon (Columbus) which are rumored to be a favored landing.
The archipelago features several forms of agriculture throughout it and there are several botanical interest learning locations, several small permacultures, and the Smithsonian Marine Life Research Institute.
The bay´s and marinas still keep many ships calm in there most always flat insolated waters, that dolphins also like to group in. The majestic and bright nature is always nice to hang in the quickly revolving tropical weather that is fresh and clean (also to do with being in the 10 degrees from the equator zone) all year round.
Panama´s study center has very nice luxury options, two large couples rooms with private bathrooms, hot water, one children’s room for families learning together
This location also has two dormitories, two shared kitchens three shared restrooms, and one younger couple’s room.
This center also has a beautiful large Yoga balcony for mornings and a nice full kitchen and group dining area.
The main building is surrounded by gardens and terraces and has two large growing fields on one hectare of property.
**The last ten days for thirty 30-day students become certified instructors and could be offered full-time employment at the steadily growing training centers.
Learning Nutrition Carbon to Canopy
Most nutritionists know nothing about plants. Equally because of modern mono-ism, farmers don’t really know nutrition either, or true farming for that matter.
We don’t dissect anything. We work with nature’s whole building block as she gives them and we build amazing diets and gardens and businesses around them. If this sounds like something you are into, feel blessed you found us, we feel blessed to find you!
These courses make a simple and effective start at carbon and go all the way through to canopy, combining actual self-experimentation and dedicated study with athletics, human performance data, and the most robust diet structuring on the planet today.
Students leave with the taurine and the know-how, to keep this going and be the best help to others getting started.
Learning nutrition (and most biology) outside of major education in whatever format in itself is invaluable.
Bocas Del Toro FAQ
Why Learn Permaculture in Bocas del Toro, Panama?
Bocas del Toro is Amazing! A Caribbean paradise island archipelago supported by the richest nation in Central America. Bocas del Toro, is a raging tourism destination for beaches, boutique hotels, private locations, wildlife as well as learning and study!
The island features several educational and learning facilities for nature, ecology, marine life, boat operations, surfing, diving even 2 award-winning Spanish language schools!
Marine biology and ecology is being learned at all levels! [SPF] 2007 Lagoon Studies, [PLS] Mcgill Research [MCG] Smithsonian has been there leading the way in ecological studies since 1910! [SMT]
Bocas del Toro has strong ecological life protection efforts, the community has stood strong against major development and for reef protection. The history of neighboring Almirante is a constant reminder of easily made mistakes. The still suffering community hanging on to the threads offered by the longtime throne holding Chiquita Banana force is an effective reminder too that Bocas is determined not to copy.
It is a fun trip!
What are the Tropics?
Tropical regions are land surfaces along the equator the name from the word tropikos, which is Greek for "turning." Inside these latitudinal borders, the sun is directly overhead at given points of the year. For this reason “turns” south when the sun reaches the Tropic of Cancer during the summer solstice and then “turns” again north when it reaches the Tropic of Capricorn, the winter solstice.
The bandwidth of the inside-10-degree region is also free from air contaminants that could arise in the southern or northern hemisphere. For example, if a nuclear bomb went off somewhere in the north of the southern hemisphere that fallout would not come here or at least not as potently. Gravitational forces aim to protect the great equalizer, the zone where the planet would rebirth from.
Our School in Bocas is 9 degrees from the equator and this is considered the "green zone."
What kind of training credentials are between the administration and the instructors?
Brandon, LPO (DC2) United States Navy Instructor has managed the training of near 10k USS CARL VINSON CVN-70 & USS GEORGE H.W. BUSH CVN-77 personnel in class sizes of 50 to 100 students (2005-2007). He is the lead athletics study and he manages operations on the ground. He has over 8 years in Panama and is very experienced in Permaculture, having learned on over 50 different Permaculture sites throughout the tropics.
C.J. Howard has years of experience picking and assembling working business and social models, who incorporates thousands of hours of training about training, diverse practical business experience in staff and group functionality, and even astrological positions are used to pick class times, and "talent pairing" - a talent we have all come to appreciate over time, deeply as his colleagues.
Kenneth and Leela Pintor have several years of experience both traveling to India for sacred learning and offering therapies based on ayurvedic and yogic principles ranging from flotation to new cutting-edge Healy technologies.
Manuel Sanjur is an active member of the Bocas del Toro Community. He is a Panamanian national surfer and trainer and has years of experience in tourism, client services, and has recently been very active in eco-tourism. Manuel has over 20 years of experience surfing, living, and navigating the dynamic Bocas del Toro, Panama's existence.
Surely this experience has weighed in our "learn a lot in a short amount of time and make it stick" training program.
What about the food!?
Trained and Certified ND chefs prepare the smoothies and cook the food. Months of preparation and diverse food sourcing go into each session. So students can have faith in a strong effective program, with strong effective nutrition behind it.
The best, most effective way to receive the diet today and likely for several years to come, is to take a trip down here to the tropics and get it together with someone who knows what they are doing. The new hip diet's first wave of resident students here will personally administer the training and diet plans.
Everyone should get at least ten days a year in the tropics doing self-care with the most advanced high diversity diet available.
Can I really make that much progress in just ten-day?
These are the dedicated cutting-edge weeks of this cutting-edge diet science for all of us.
The Boot Camps are intensive 10-day training sessions that go over Nutritional Diversity & Permaculture training and give on-hand experience in small groups of ten to twenty students per session.
Students will get out what they put in, and if they follow all the options presented, yes there is most definitely a huge transformative result in ten days.
You have not eaten correctly before and when you do your body knows it.
Eat the most perfected Nutritional Diversity on the planet today, from the origins of where it was studied, discovered, and developed using robust powerful species. We are developing highly dynamic plans, 80 years of cumulative permaculture, and exotic plant experience between just the three top knowledgeable in our resident Panama & Costa Rica team. This is cutting-edge nutrition.
Make the decision for healing, cleansing, optimizing, and upgrading today.
Make friends for life, and join the ever-growing community of Nutritional Diversifists, so that we can all move forward as a group and build our amazing abilities and potentials in optimizing the human self and experience.
The great idea is to optimize - and you can be sure you will feel the best you have in a long, long time.
First-Hand Experience
To really get the method to the madness and taste first hand the new level of richness this food presents, and to feel the new level of feeling and ability that come s with a good two-week dose of it - is priceless.
To cleanse and know how to continue the nutritionally diverse, toxin-free process, when you go home again, will be something that revolutionizes your life completely! Get the most quality out of the years left, get the most out of life! Take your reset, and your transformation seriously to get serious results.
Even for us, it's tough at times - NDdiet is no EZdiet
Organizing an effective Nutritional Diversity meal or shake is not easy, nor is cultivating a highly productive permaculture installation quickly. It's another level in farming, another level in the recipe and cooking, and in giving health and performance ability. We certainly recommend getting with the experts and this is an opportunity to get with some of the foremost experts on assembling, eating, and growing a" high" or "full-spectrum" diet.
The learning curve is exponentially helped by having someone who knows what they are doing show you the ropes.
Your Diet, or Not Diet Now
We did paper surveys on about 40 volunteer permaculture type farms, across Costa Rica and digital surveys on the web to find out how many different species of foods in week families and individuals, today consumed. Our Nutritional Assessment surveys are continuing to monitor trends in diet, certainly pertaining to diversity in diet, and considered the FAO Diet Diversity DDI guidelines for this study.
We surveyed a 4 - 16 different species average per household, here in Panama and 6-24 diversity of stuff for refrigerators in the United States. These numbers are just short of the Nutritional Diversity Diet's minimum (of 30 species for weak physiology 60 species for strong healthy individuals).
Nutritional Diversity Community
I have been at this a while, and it was a lonely road for a stretch but now I am pleased to report the community is starting to really come to fruition.
We have a fast-growing community around us that has been establishing for some time in the Central American Permaculture network, and we invite you too, to join the cutting edge of nutrition today! We alumni community forums to keep in touch and a knowledge base to further the scientific study as well as develop recipes and related ideas.
Alumni always have the chance to come back as trainers. IF this life is really for you, this could be a spark that lights your fire in a big way.
This community is empowered to save lives, to be the most optimal physically, and the most clear-minded.
Moving Forward
Having diverse, less domesticated, exotic tropical, and robust additions to our gut microbiome is a powerful play, recommended dose: as much as possible.
Panama and Costa Rica will be the first of these Nutritional Diversity Boot Camps but we hope to start moving to new climates and working with new species soon, and we will be looking to establish with the local pro's and do boot camps all around the world. Established Permaculture farms are often set up to take on work-for-food-ers. The movement itself is also a look at the way to address the growing demand for this better nutrition and, consider all the factors and opportunities towards the many great diversities available, in many great forms, this proves still to be the best way to do it. We are also open to special clients, and personal training.
Make the Best Effort to Heal Naturally
Many people ask about healing, the ability for this kind of diet practice to heal. Our answer is "it's phenomenal for healing, everything from cancer, ulcer forming colitis and heart disease to joint pain and conditions such as Alzheimer's, any condition should see improvement on to complete relief of any problems, and they are using a risk (to other parts of the body) free God-intended, unmolested by modern agricultural sciences, all-natural methods. It is just clearly the best way to give the body the best chance at naturally healing.
