Episode 51: Designing a Village for Wellness and Connection with Sarah Livia Brightwood
What if the ideas of a wellness sanctuary could influence daily living? Sarah Livia Brightwood shares the concept behind the Residences at Rancho La Puerta—a neighborhood rooted in nature, connection, and mindful design. Raised on The Ranch and educated in landscape architecture, she explains how the terrain, gardens, and buildings were carefully planned to nurture wellbeing, while regenerative agriculture and communal dining, scenic trails, and lively gathering places carry the ethos of the ranch beyond a brief stay into an enduring way of life. She reflects on the value of community, purpose, and connection to nature—and how residing in a place shaped by those principles can truly elevate everyday life.
