The MEV Community.
Connection, learning, and growth through common knowledge and resources.
The Modern Eco Village was born from a simple desire: to live a life that feels good, surrounded by people who care about the same things. At its heart, this is a community-driven project, shaped by the people who are choosing to be part of it. This community was created to gather people interested in this vision, where everyone can get inspired and be heard, learn from each other, and discover what living in the MEV means to you. For us, it’s a lifestyle that embraces everything we love while overcoming the limitations of conventional living.
Located in Spain, the project will house 500 families in modern, with the highest living standard, eco-friendly homes designed for sustainability, free from toxic materials and EMF, with large gardens, fruit forests, and communal spaces including schools, restaurants, offices, a wellness center, and more. Along the way, we’ll be sharing what we learn and inviting people from our own community to offer their stories, their wisdom, and their heart. This is not just a project. It’s something we are building together.
Meet the Founders
A lot of people are curious about the crazy married couple who decided to build a Modern Eco Village from scratch in southeast Spain. Many of you already know parts of our story, especially those of you who have followed us for years through books, podcasts, and social media. You’ve seen the highs and the heartbreaks, the lows and the learning curves.
But the truth is, we didn’t start from the bottom. We started from below.
Eight years ago, we were living in an empty rented apartment in Norway. No furniture. No savings. No plan B. Just two people, wildly in love, way too hopeful for our own good. We were young, naive, and adamant about creating an epic life together...
The Team
All the people in our team are actual members of the village and they will be our neighbours. It is reassuring in so many ways knowing that the builders, architects, engineers, designers etc will actually live in the MEV and in addition to their working moral and expertise, their motivation is also personal. We all share the same vision and work towards the same goals. We recorded a few short videos from the key people in our project, check out what they have to say about their role in the MEV. Join our community by becoming a member first.
Get to know your future neighbors
Curious about who you’ll be living amongst? Our village brings together families with children, remote-working professionals, semi-retirees seeking an active lifestyle, and forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Say hello to a few of them below.
We’re a mix of young families, creatives, solo adventurers beginning a new chapter, and folks in their 60s and 70s seeking a more grounded, connected life. Our ages range from 2 to 75+ years young, and we come from over 12 countries and a lifetime of experiences. What brings us together? A shared desire to live more slowly, more meaningfully, and in real community, close to nature.
Members will be able read more about each other in our internal community page coming soon!
