The last orchid show New York Botanical Garden had a NYC street scene theme. The artist used a clever mix of real and fake plants & flowers (not the orchids ofc!) & a question to ponder "what's real, what's not". I was 100% certain these babies were fakes. Woo! They're hanging from a trellis here in Costa Rica and 100% real!

Hmmm-a lesson in questioning assumptions, even though we think we're certain.

Please join us in January on our retreat here in Costa Rica designed to offer space for you to possibly discard assumptions about where you're going in your life and reset with new possibilities.

Mango! With a little lime, salt and picante. So refreshing on a warm day in Costa Rica.

You can try some too at our upcoming Liberation and Realignment Retreat on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica in January.

Would you like one? Freshly prepared. Mudballs. So great for detox and exfoliating. Join us in Costa Rica this January and you may be able to try one!

Cacao. Guided journey. Sacred gardens & powerful mountains. Listen within to what wants to be expressed.
This is expression for you, not your living room wall!

Gifted with so much magic on my latest Costa Rica getaway. Everyday I was awed with a delight that was not expected and would take my breath away.
