We have a special guest with us in the second your today Patrick Hiebert. It is all about a new way of living through the Autris EcoVillages and Veritas Villages, what exactly are they and what do they stand for? After years of living on a boat in the ocean with his son and perfecting self-sufficient living, Patrick relocated to Central America, where he launched EcoVillages—the leading developer of the freedom-focused, sustainability-oriented Veritas Villages communities across Latin America and the Caribbean. Autris stands out by creating self-sufficient, eco-sensible (not eco-fanatical) communities designed for people who value independence and resilience. Built around the F.I.R.S.T. philosophy—Freedom, Independence, Resilience, Sustainability, and Transparency—these communities provide practical, sustainable solutions for housing, food, energy, and water while fostering personal freedoms and like-minded living.
Located just a short 10-minute drive up the mountain from the town of Coronado, Panama and the surrounding beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches, Veritas Village sits at a perfect 250 to 350 meters (roughly 1000 feet) above sea level. Making it not only the ideal location and climate to grow food year round, but is an excellent temperature for people to enjoy as well, being warm enough to enjoy a pool during the day and cool enough in the evenings to reduce the need for air conditioning and to be able to enjoy the amazing sunsets with a glass of wine!
Ingrid gives us our daily check-in and Yazmin takes a look at who was born on this day in the world of music. For today going back to 1942 –Edward Bivens Singer with the American R&B vocal group The Manhattans. They had the 1976 US No.1 & UK No.4 single ‘Kiss And Say Goodbye’ and the 1980 hit ‘Shining Star’, which won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance. Sixteen of their songs have reached the Billboard Hot 100. He sang on every Manhattans hit since the group’s inception, and wrote many of their hit songs.
