Forest Therapy
It is not uncommon for us to spend 95% of our days surrounded by four walls. Humans have adapted to live without nature, but this is not our design. The practice of shinrin-yoku, which in Japanese means “immersing in the forest atmosphere”, is an opportunity to remember that we are part of nature, and it is part of us.
Conducted on our private trails, this is not a fitness hike, but rather an effortless engagement of the senses and an invitation to be acutely aware of the earth, trees, air and sky.
Our guide will lead you through a process of reconnection to the natural environment, allowing you to reap the physical, emotional and psychological benefits it offers. Reserve time to commune with the living and breathing forest, and emerge refreshed, relaxed and revived.
*Approximately 2 hours
Cacao and Sound Ceremonies
Alternatively, embark on a cosmic sound journey as you are bathed in rhythmic and soothing tones from the gong and accompanying instruments.
Cacao & Ecstatic Dance
This exploration begins with a group circle to connect and strengthen your intentions before ingesting and activating the cacao through heart opening breathing exercises. Celebrate together through dance therapy, releasing layers of resistance and sharing in the joy of dance. Flow through two waves of movement, the first with latin and jungle rhythms and the second with atmospheric and gentle energy.
*Approximately 2 hours
Gong Bath and Sound Therapy
The power of the gong is used along with the sacred sound of the voice and other instruments such as bowls, didgeridoo, bells, handpan and more. The gong’s resonance balances all parts of our being: body, mind and spirit. It achieves a state of expansion of consciousness, deep relaxation, and innumerable additional benefits. The gong induces us to a meditative state, causing an alteration of our consciousness. We feel part of the cosmos, we perceive the sound vibration of the planets and our heart remembers these frequencies. Does not include cacao.

Coffee Tour
Take in the delicious scent of fresh roasted coffee in the roasting room and learn how this process can produce different flavors from the same bean.

*Approximately 2 hours
Farmer´s Market
A visit to this bustling weekly affair is an excellent introduction to Costa Rican culture and local life. Wander the stalls and meet the farmers who have worked the land for generations. You’ll see locally grown produce alongside flowers, medicinal plants, fresh herbs, organic coconut oil, artisanal crafts and fresh baked goods.
Test your Spanish and try your hand at paying with the local currency (Colones). To get a true taste of culture, be sure to get yourself a tortilla palmeada con queso (hand-pressed tortilla with cheese) or a traditional tamale wrapped in a plantain leaf for a hearty treat. Add a refreshing glass of jugo de cana (cane juice) or a pipa fria (coconut) and you’ve got a first-class introduction for your pallet to authentic pura vida goodness.
The market runs on Fridays and Saturdays.
