Hi Everyone!
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Regenerative Directory, the powerful multifunction platform we’ve been building towards since we started growing Upward Spirals 8 years ago. It’s taken thousands of late nights, but we at last have integrated all the pieces needed to offer this empowering resource for people wanting to live more sustainable and regenerative lives.
For people familiar with our previous community and sustainability projects, a lot of components will be familiar. We’ve combined and upgraded our previous programs, weaving in the best of what we built into the Organic Directory, the Learning Calendar, Community Days, the Sustainable Living Expedition, and the nearly complete Wellness and Educators directory.
Starting with the country’s largest list of sources for organic food from the Organic Directory, we’ve added a range of features that make it even easier to connect with our local farmers. The new platform lets producers have their own listing pages, where they can offer detailed products lists, pictures, delivery radius, and easily connect with customers. Customers can easily find the closest options through the integrated map, and can use the platform’s private messaging feature to talk directly to the farmers. The platform is easy to use in both English and Spanish, and makes it easier for people with different preferred languages to work together.Â
And where the original Organic Directory focused just on farmers, markets, stores, restaurants, and support organizations, now we’ve added educators, wellness providers, intentional communities, artists, delivery services, environmental regeneration projects, families/kids activities, community organizations, and more throughout Costa Rica.
