Stop and Reflect on the Lotus

Stop and Reflect on the Lotus

Each morning coming to ‘work’ at the Healing Centre we are greeted by the beauty and serentity of the lotus. These are early morning meditators who then tuck up until the next day break.

Hi, my name is Gonca. Those of you who have had the pleasure of visiting Nosara might know me and my jungle store, Bazzar de Nosara. For the last five years, I have been coming to Bali to do the shopping for my store. Bali feels like a second home to me by now. Seeing […]

Kircher Society / Climate Change Poll

Kircher Society / Climate Change Poll

Who doesn’t love the infamous Kircher Society? Here, they advance the notion of a 19th C. contraption called the Superiorvator. In more serious news, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs went to 17 nations to conduct a poll on global warming, asking respondents to answer various questions about its urgency.


Yes, I Love Your Country!!!!

Yes, I Love Your Country!!!!

I arrived back in Costa Rica the other day. A last minute change of plans meant that I had to grab a taxi ride from the airport in Liberia. Juanel was my driver. I must have been smiling from ear to ear because he asked me in a very bemused way, “Do you love my […]

Smallest Grom Ever!!!

Smallest Grom Ever!!!

I saw this cutie pie surfing the other day. I don’t know her name or age, but I’m guessing she’s around 4 years old. Imagine when she’s 12! She’s gonna shred!!!! Note the very cute pink bikini and the relaxed stance. This kid has style!

La Luna

La Luna

On my second evening in Nosara, a bunch of “Harmonizers” went over to La Luna: one of the few restaurants in Nosara right on the waterfront. Apparently, it was built before regulations prevented direct waterfront development. We were a funny sight: a centipede of people stumbling around in the dark, except for Paul, who sped […]


Strange Smoke

Strange Smoke

I was digging through my photos from Nosara and found this one, taken from the plane. It looks like smoke columns billowing out of the middle of forest land. Does any one have any idea what this is? A forest fire? A factory hidden under the canopy of trees? That looks like an awful lot […]

Fabulous Women's Co-operative

Fabulous Women’s Co-operative

One of the highlights of my visit was a culinary one – definitely worth a stop especially if you are travelling over-road to Liberia – this seemingly ageless spot for local food was really special, locals also call it the tortilla factory. It is in Santa Cruz and you will have to ask the locals […]

Cross Stepping

Cross Stepping

Okay, so I am learning to cross step and its taking me a little while. I understand the part about taking the bottom turn, coming up high and stalling to bury the tail of the board, but this whole ninja walk thing on the board feels… er, new. Though she is still learning, Susan is […]
