Social Enterprise Development
Regenerative social enterprises use holistic business models to solve ecological and humanitarian challenges, and sustainably create value for themselves, their communities, and the environment.
Join regenerative business expert Eric Baudry of Upward Spirals for a 13-week intensive organizational development program in person in the rainforests of Costa Rica, or coming soon virtually to your computer or mobile device.
We have designed this unique educational experience to cover the breadth and depth you’ll need to create a sustainable and regenerative eco-social business. This innovative course for eco-social entrepreneurs combines regenerative business models, with conscious responsible business practices, and advanced financial and marketing management strategies used by the most powerful and efficient companies in the world.
Some recent clients have used the organizational development time and new skills to create a lifestyle design coaching program, an online holistic health membership site, and for developing and operating a wellness and education center.

Sustainable Transition Design
We help people plan lifestyle transitions to more sustainable communities, ecovillages, and off-grid ecologically considerate homesteads.
We do this by coordinating transition planning tours and Sustainable Living Expeditions to help people learn from successful models, and helping people find the biodiverse areas and properties with abundant pure water for organic agriculture and healthy lifestyles. We also support business owners to adapt their services to the Costa Rican market, or to develop new wellness and educational service lines to leverage regional business opportunities.
A sample of our customizable services:
- Transition Planning Tour / Sustainable Living Expedition
- Budget & Cash Flow Forecasting
- Property Search & Best Price Negotiation
- Ecovillage and sustainable homestead development planning
- Project management for ecological land development (Sustainable food, water, energy, building)
Strategic Director
Eric Baudry, our Strategic Director and CEO, has helped dozens of Wellness & Education Center owners overcome challenges, increase revenue, improve sustainability, and save costs through projects across all facets of social enterprise and sustainable land development.
After earning a degree in finance Eric started his career in 2001 at a Silicon Valley strategic consulting company serving Fortune 500 executives. Eventually realizing how a truly sustainable and regenerative economy would most likely evolve through Wellness and Education Centers, he later created Upward Spirals in 2014 with HappE Roberts. Some of the programs they have designed and lead include the Diamante Solution Center, The Sustainable Living Expedition, Sustainable Transition Design, Social Enterprise Development, Successful Retreats, and a range of free social benefit programs like the Organic Directory, the Learning Calendar, a book on sustainable event strategies, alongside their management consulting work.
Here is what some recent clients have said about our projects working together:
“This is to express to you how much we value your work, as well as you, as a conscious person and those talented individuals who make up your team. In the short time we’ve known each other; you’ve become an important asset to Sangha. We believe that we are being well guided by the best professional in Costa Rica.” – Gino Salotti
“Right now we are working in collaboration with a great society from Costa Rica, Upward Spirals, to create a community development plan, a business model and multiple revenue generating strategies.
Our vision is to create a social enterprise, sustainable, regenerative, and financially thriving. We believe we can achieve it by working as a team with the right central core group and the expertise of partners like Eric Baudry from Upward Spirals.”
