Pura Vida means Pure Life. This retreat setting is located in a private garden estate of tropical splendor, atop a mountain in Costa Rica's Alajueta province. It is surrounded by coffee plantations, yet surprising only a 20 minute drive from San Jose's International Airport. Located between two continents and two seas this magical land is filled with healing rivers, powerful waterfalls, tropical rain forests, active volcanoes, mountain cloud forests and exotic wildlife. A place between worlds where one can experience a magical relationship with nature and where the ancient Lemurians and Atlanteans would meet to share and perform ritual to connect to the divine source and the star nations. This unique point on the earth grid was a light station for the Atlanteans. This unique experience will offer something completely different than Maya Tulum as mountains are always revered as sources of Power to connect us to the divine. We will spend our days experiencing true magic as we explore the waterfalls and rainforests. We will have a very special meditation in the hummingbird sanctuary where you will see a multitude of these magnificent beings, over thirty three species in a private sanctuary garden. In this realm of faery, miracles are possible, intuition is heightened and our lives are transformed.
The country of Costa Rica is a land vibrant and rich with the emerald green ray. One experiences a mixture of the energy of Bali and that of India. Pura Vida is a piece of heaven sitting in a cloud forest in a coffee plantation.
A land where ideas and knowledge were exchanged in the ancient past, healing tools, protective talismans, jewelry, beautiful expressions of art, dance and culture as well as story telling.
Modern day Costa Rica is a story of hope. Everything in this country is an expression of life. A young nation which knocks on the doors of the future. In 1948 they completely abolished their army and today the monies that would have supported an army now go towards health care and providing educational opportunities for the people.
Once again I have made special arrangements for an all inclusive experience into one of the earths remaining nature sanctuaries. The food here is vibrant with life and nurtures every cell in the body with every bite.

As always I will be available for private sessions but these will be limited so you must let me know in advance at the time of registration if you would like a private session and at which location. As I continue to create the Andara Crystal Elixir to support one's journey, please advise me if you would like to order these in advance as they are prepared in sacred ceremony and must be prepared prior to the journey. For those who are not familiar with the elixirs I am including a description.
At Pura Vida there is an array of facilities to make your stay even more special.
- a wonderful pool for swimming, reading, and relaxing
- hot tub for evenings under the stars.
- a cappuccino bar for espressos and fruit smoothies

In this setting we will communicate with the spirits of the ancient rain forests as you will be initiated into the Path of the Shaman.
You are responsible for your own airfare and I have found that when one purchases the international airfare you receive a far greater discount on domestic airfare. You will need to arrive in Cancun, Mexico on May 9th for pickup to Maya Tulum. If you are continuing the journey to Pura Vida, Costa Rica I would recommend the following flight from Cancun, Mexico to San Jose Costa Rica on May 16th (to be announced) to continue the magical journey. The journey will be complete on May 21st with airport transfer back to the San Jose International Airport.
