Hey guys, Mikkel here,
Most people misunderstand what “off-grid” really means.
They hear the phrase and immediately picture someone disappearing into the woods, living in a cabin, chopping wood, collecting rainwater, and effectively withdrawing entirely from the modern world.
Wrong.
It is not about isolation, discomfort, or pretending your family can thrive long-term without infrastructure, community, or reliable systems around you.
It is about control.
Control over your water, your energy, your food, your privacy, and the kind of people your family lives near.
That is why the presentation I am hosting next Saturday is so important for our community. We are going to walk through how Veritas Costa Rica brings together the essential elements of off-grid living without forcing families to completely detach from the real world or sacrifice modern comfort.
Here are all the details you’ll need to join me live:
Presentation Title: Veritas Costa Rica: Expanding a Proven Model Into a New Frontier
Date: Saturday, July 25th, 2026
Time: 10am, Panama Time
Hosts: Mikkel Thorup & Patrick Hiebert
During the presentation, Patrick Hiebert and I will show you why Costa Rica was chosen, what makes the land viable, and how this community is being designed around water, energy, food production, privacy, modern comfort, long-term livability, and like-minded neighbours.
On Saturday, July 25th, we are going to walk through the practical side of this vision, because true self-sufficiency is not achieved by simply buying beautiful land and calling it Plan-B; beauty, privacy, and land only become valuable when the right systems are built around them.
…once you move beyond the fantasy of off-grid living and begin exploring your options seriously, the questions of viability and practicality arise very quickly…
The land may look beautiful, but what about the water?
The setting may feel peaceful, but what about the power?
The property may feel private, but what about access, security, food production, maintenance, community, infrastructure, and the practical, day-to-day realities of living there?
Those are the details that determine whether an off-grid dream becomes a functioning Plan-B or just a piece of land with a nice view.
When water, energy, food production, privacy, infrastructure, modern comfort, and community are considered from the beginning, the entire feasibility of off-grid living changes.
You are no longer trying to bolt resilience onto a lifestyle that was never designed for it; you are starting with resilience as part of the foundation.
Costa Rica already has the natural beauty, climate, lifestyle, expat infrastructure, and international reputation serious families are looking for.
What Veritas Costa Rica brings is the missing piece: a self-sufficient community model designed for people who want the benefits of nature, privacy, and independence without giving up comfort, connection, or long-term livability.
During the special presentation, we will also cover:
How the land was selected
Why the development site alone required an investment of nearly $35 million USD
How the infrastructure is being planned
How water and energy systems are being considered
How food production fits into the vision
Why the community is being designed around privacy, resilience… without having to sacrifice modern comforts
If Costa Rica has ever been on your radar, or if you have been looking for a serious Off-Grid Plan-B that does not require you to give up comfort, community, or connection to the modern world, I strongly recommend joining me live for the presentation.
