Hi everyone,
Just last weekend we had our biggest gathering yet! More than 100 people joined us for a community potluck, tour of the land, the very first look at new renders of the communal areas, and beautiful songs from our very own founder and marketing gal, Iancu and Kaitlyn. They were phenomenal! We got to talk to and connect with so many different people, some traveled more than 9,000 km to be with us, while others came from just the next town over. āŗļø
The children there had so much fun swinging on the tree swing, and crawling around, hands in the dirt. Thinking back on this makes me smile because it reminds me of the natural ways children used to grow up-playing outside and surrounded by a village.
There we also had our architects Jose and Silvia, and with our construction and legal teams, along with their families. Even the mayor of Planes came to share some words about what we are building together. Itās moving to feel his passion and excitement for what weāre building here, and especially how it positively impacts the local communities around. Hereās a videoĀ of his speech (it was originally in Spanish so we included english subtitles). This gathering was a beautiful reminder of the energy and excitement around the MEV and what we are all creating together. šæ
I've attached some photos below so you can catch a glimpse into the evening š
If you want to see more, here is another videoĀ of the night that we recently shared on our socials. :)
If youāre still reading this, I'm sure you know why you are here. Youāre here because you want to live differently. You want to live more slowly, more connected to your community, and eat food straight from your own garden. You want to feel more connected to nature, you want more out of life, to live more intentionally, and the Modern Eco Village is where your desires actually become reality.Ā
Ā
This project came from a vision that not only Iancu or Belinda hold, but from every single one of us who are here, who desire the same things out of life. And if this way of living resonates with you, you can take your next step by becoming a member today or by reserving your future home. We have an incredible team of people who want the same thing, who share these values, and who are dedicated to building this beautiful community together.

An Invitation for Investors
We are also opening space for aligned investors who truly want to help us move into the next stage of development, helping us build the village much faster. We are currently offering a rare opportunity to offer 15% returnsĀ while fueling the mission of the MEV.
Ā
Why are we offering this to people instead of going through banks? We want to be transparent and keep it simple:Ā
1. We prefer to offer these opportunities to our community rather than to banks or outside institutions.Ā Banks already generate significant profits by lending money, often with very little connection to the impact of their investments. By going our own route, the financial benefits go directly to our future neighbors and supporters. This way the wealth created by the MEV stays with the people who genuinely care about well-being, sustainability, and the creation of a new way of living together.Ā Ā
2. This approach strengthens community resilience.Ā When members or supporters help fund the project, they become more engaged stakeholders. Research shows that community-financed projects tend to build stronger trust, accountability, and long-term stability compared to projects dependent solely on banks.Ā Ā
3. Of course, we still maintain financial responsibility.Ā Community-based financing is not about replacing financial discipline, but more so aligning money with values, while still ensuring transparency, security, and responsible management.In short, we see this as a way to create a wināwin: the project gets funded in a way that matches our values, and the benefits flow back to the very people who are part of building it.Ā
If this feels like something youād like to be part of, message us or book a call so we can explore a personalized investment plan together. š±
