The Costa Rica Documentary Expedition
The Future and Happiness documentary expedition, December 2026 to February 2027, with the Odyssey continuing to the Dubai film premiere and Gala Event, and on to Bali. One question at the center: what makes a person truly happy? Travel, nature, leadership, wellbeing and documentary film woven into a single arc for the people building a happy, meaningful life. Three worlds. One movement.
The Philosophy
This is a documentary expedition, not a retreat and not a conference. It is a deliberate pause, a chance to step out of the noise and into one of the happiest places on earth, a Blue Zone, to ask what a truly happy and meaningful life is made of.
We bring together a small circle of entrepreneurs, creators, community leaders, visionaries, researchers, investors, artists and innovators, with limited spaces each cohort, in extraordinary settings, then weave happiness, meaning, nature, wellbeing, leadership and documentary film into a single arc. Happiness is not accidental, it is born from the choices we make every day. You leave changed, with the work, the story and the relationships to prove it.
The Destinations
Each destination carries its own character, yet every part of the Odyssey follows the same promise: transformation, connection and a story worth telling on film.

The Full Agenda
A closed media expedition. Founders, scientists and visionaries gather for a month in the Nicoya Blue Zone, one of five places on Earth with record longevity. Twenty-one days of purification lead into a global longevity mastermind, and the birth of an alliance, filmed throughout for a documentary that premieres in Dubai.
Three weeks to clear the body and mind. Organic food from local markets, moderate movement at dawn, deep practice at night, expeditions to the villages and elders of the Blue Zone, and a Visionary Evening where each member opens their work to the circle.
Seven days when the full collective turns on one question, how do we extend not one life but every life, building toward a shared answer, a concrete project, and the founding of the Alliance.
Final measures, before-and-after interviews and the group portrait, then the circle disperses, carrying the Alliance out of Costa Rica and into the world.
