| About Jungle Joy Retreat |
|
I landed here on the Pacific Coast in 1991 and fell in love with the lush nature. I moved from the fast and glamorous environments of Miami Beach, NYC, Milano, Paris and Amsterdam to this specific place. The beauty of this place has had a profound impact on me. I would like to invite you to feel a new experience. After many years here and the creation of lots of life stories, I have come to the point in my life where I want to share this green heaven. You need to feel the experience of what nature can do with you. Notice I said "with you" not "for you". This beautiful place will do things with your spirit and you will come away feeling refreshed. Remote but close to the beach, a lush mountain for my backyard and looking over the south Pacific Coast, where the noises of the jungle never stops from all the birds, monkeys…and all the other abundant wildlife. The 3 hectares area is bordered by a protected forest of 35 hectares called the Santa Fe Reserve, where guided hikes can be taken. On Tico Time (local slang for the pace of time here - needless to say the pace here is very peaceful), the place is finally becoming what I envisioned. My house has been built intuitively with the environment. Finished but always working on the details. Like the movement of the sun we are forever changing. Wabi Sabi. Enjoy our Spiral Pool to practice Watsu and the Healing Water Dance. When no workshops are given all guests are free to use the pool with it's shaded platform and hammocks. To keep my place exclusive and in contemporary style, I have built two separate guesthouses with a shared platform. You also have your own terrace, with our own handmade Bamboo furniture. Wonderful beds with 100% cotton linens beckon. There’s a beautiful breeze, so I don’t do air-conditioning. You wont need it - honest. I’m free spirited, and welcome all ages. Chanti
