Plans for next 3 months in Costa Rica

-


Next steps: Costa Rica! This time I have planned it all out and am already fully booked until February!

Here are my plans (who knows if they may change!):

- 3 days in San Jose: arriving and settling in this new country. Finishing my blog posts about Chile in the comfort of the city with fast internet. Super nice cute hostel The Garden

- 2 weeks at Hacienda Mil Bellezas - in the jungle close to the pacific coast and Quepos and Manuel Antonio Park (famous for wildlife including monkeys and beautiful beaches) found on Workaway: Help us with horses, construction on a small agri-tourism farm in the jungle near Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

- 1 week retreat at Pachamama, described as 'a powerful gateway to profound, transformative growth. The ecological, spiritual community of PachaMama located in Guanacaste, Costa Rica is a platform for a deep voyage into healing, self-acceptance, and expansion of consciousness.'

- 1 week volunteering at Matilde's in Valle Azul, spending Christmas there! Workaway: Come and join our organisation that promotes agroecology, permaculture, organic agriculture in San Lorenzo, Costa Rica

- 2 weeks volunteering at Eco Yoga lodge Verdesana, hopefully in the gardens. Workaway: Come help and experience the peace of a Conscious Forest Lodge and Retreat. Costa Rica

- 3 weeks Yoga Teacher Training at the School Yoga Institute in the Osa Peninsula

- 10 days free to rest and probably visit beautiful places or going back to Verdesana if I like it

- 2 weeks Permaculture Design Course at Finca Tierra, Caribbean south coast. Finishing February 23rd.

Excited to start this new phase! And also a bit scared of the humid heat and the spiders and snakes, going into this new challenge with lots of hope!

Arrived in Santiago, staying a couple nights in the super cute and environmentally friendly Hostel Tambo Verde. Walking around Santiago and especially the Barrio Bellavista, the murals are everywhere and so colorful! I especially like this one with all it represents  Full of symbolism  Plaza de las Armas and the cathedral, rebuilt 4 times after serious earthquakes Top of Cerro San Cristobal  Hostal Tambo Verde A much needed travel tip found on Tourdumondiste: which banks do not charge a local fee for withdrawing money, a complete table of 33 countries , so useful! Scroll quite alot until finding the table 'FRAIS ET PLAFONDS DE RETRAIT DES BANQUES LOCALES PAR PAYS'.

One painting a day

A few years ago I read the book 'Miracle Morning' by Hal Erod - greatly recommended! And while I do not get up at 4:30 am every morning for the full Miracle Morning routine, it did motivate me to start the day with the '6-minute version' before 8am. I really enjoy taking the time in the morning before going to work to do something for myself, my personal development and my personal well-being. I either meditate, do yoga or strength training, journal or read. It gives a sense fulfillment to the whole day to come. Here in this beautiful place at ArsNaturalis I decided to try a new routine: one painting each day! Work starts at 8am so I have time to wake up earlier, do some yoga nad meditation than start painting :-) Of course using the many beautiful tutorials available like flowers by  Jay Lee , watermelon by Yasmina Creates ,  or feathers by Let's Make Art and many more, there is such a richness of tutorials out there! Let's see how long I can keep this up :...

Opening ceremony - Yoga Teacher Training: fire, beach, full moon and new community

-

'We are circling, circling together, we are singing, singing our hearts song, this is family, this is unity, this is celebration, this is sacred.' As we are circling around the fire singing over and over this beautiful song all together led by Inka with the drum and after being smudged with palo santo by Concetta, we all really arrive here, at Ojo del Mar, at this Yoga Teacher Training. The 15 of us students meet each other and connect with our teachers - this is our new community for the next 21 days. And what a way to start! Inka and Concetta immediately seem to be the perfect teachers, sharing their knowledge and making this spiritual space sacred and safe for what is to come. As I realize where I am, the full moon reflecting on the ocean waves and the orange fire making everyone's face glow, I feel I have arrived exactly where I need to be.  Smudging each of us with palo santo to purify the energy around us as we enter this new circle Full moon ref...
