The Ageless Living Community
I wrote the book Ageless Living in 1999 which became the Ageless
Living Lifestyle that I now teach. The idea came to me after a good
friend of mine, Roger, who is the owner of a world class fitness
equipment manufacturing company, told me at lunch one day,
" Rico, you
have the best lifestyle of anyone I know. You are doing what you love,
helping people become fitter, healthier, and happier. You live a very
healthy lifestyle. You live by the beach and have time to exercise and
eat healthy every day. You play in a rock band. You travel every year.
You have a low-stress, fun, enjoyable life, and plan on keeping it that
way as long as you are alive."
I thought this was quite a compliment, as Roger has a multi-million
dollar business and a very good lifestyle. However, he would say that he
has a lot of stress managing a big company and working long hours and
not getting to play as much as he would like. I would always say, " yes,
but I don’t make nearly as much money as you." And he would say, "you
don’t need more money. You already have the lifestyle."
So I thought maybe my lifestyle is one that many would like to emulate
and decided to write the book. The Ageless Living Lifestyle is not about
doing the same things that I do; rather it’s a way of living that
promotes good health and wellness for a lifetime.
The major premise of Ageless Living is that no matter what we want to
accomplish in our lives, we need to be healthy and have a lot of energy.
And when we are successful, we want to stay healthy and enjoy our lives
as long as possible. Ageless Living is about living life without regards
to age. It’s believing that life should get better and more enjoyable as
we age not the opposite as is now happening to most people. Ageless
Living is about taking the responsibility to keep ourselves inspired,
educated, and motivated to stay healthy all of our life and make a
positive contribution to the world. Ageless Living is a complete
mind/body program for living the Ageless Living Lifestyle.
After the book was finished, I realized that if I was going to really
live the Ageless Living Lifestyle to the max, I would need some help. In
order to stay healthy and experience more fun and fulfillment as
possible as the years go by, I would need to create the right
environment.
The Ageless Living Community is a place where a number of individuals
live who embraces the Ageless Living philosophy. Each person or family
will have their own private house and land but will share some common
areas. The common areas will be an energy center ( wind and solar)
organic gardens, orchards, fish farming pond, exercise and sport areas
and a center for concerts, workshops, and meetings. I envision having
Ageless Living Workshops and inviting great teachers from the world to
come and lecture.
I would like to make it a first-class, self -contained, self-sustainable
community that will be a showcase for the world.
The main concept is to enjoy life more as we age and contribute more and
learn more and raise our consciousness and have a great time in the
process.
I am completely open for ideas. I am looking for people who can
contribute ideas and information in any of the areas needed to make the
community a reality. We will need people who are experts in renewable
energy, gardening, construction, community building, legal matters,
natural medicine, enlightened teachers in a variety of areas, musicians,
and people who may have the right property to sell, lease, or donate for
the location. I prefer warm weather, tropics, near the ocean or on a
lake or river, but am open to whatever may appear.
I look forward to hearing from anyone interested and we will create the
community in the next two to three years.
