During the rest of the month, you can register for a private workshop on the days of your choosing.
If you do not want either, you can always come here and relax in paradise.
The place is secluded and the only noise you will hear are jungle sounds.
You can read (physical library as well as PDF library are available),
Meditate with me, do yoga (yoga mats available),
Relax and enjoy the view in the hammocks,
Go on a hike
Cook over wood burner, shower in nature
Disconnect and recharge your batteries
Optional, if you have been traveling for a while and are in need of physical exercise, there are machetes available to blaze a trail in the jungle or cut things off or dig with a shovel. Many have offered to help this way and enjoy it very much. But like i said, it is totally optional. You are free to do as much or as little as you want and feel like
Please no walk ins. Contact me for a resa
