WITH SARAH REIMER SUNDAY MARCH 8TH 4:00 - 6:00 PM ​Writing is healing. Writing brings our feelings and ideas to the forefront of our awareness, and writing unpacks or unravels whatever we’ve been holding inside.  Our journal circle will begin with time to settle into our space, then Sarah will facilitate a guided meditation or mindfulness exercise to tap into the writer within.  She will offer guidance and provide prompts for us to put pen to paper, but we are free to follow our own thoughts without any particular aim.  Often we may be surprised with where our writing leads us.   Writing fosters connection.  We will end each journal circle with time to share.  While there is no pressure to share, our intention is to create a safe container for us to write and share in community, to support and hold each other through whatever comes up in our journaling.  This circle is open to anyone seeking connection, reflection, and clarity.  We hope to bring a group together on a monthly basis, each month centered around a different theme or topic.  In March with the equinox marking a turning point in our solar cycle, we will turn our attention toward new beginnings.

****CANCELED**** SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28 10:00 - 11:30 AM This workshop invites us to move the body with strength and awareness, to sweat, to vibrate collectively, and to connect with the rich cultural and ancestral heritage of African dance.  Mónica will teach Guinean Style, an intense, liberating, and profoundly energetic expression of West African dance.  Through rhythm, movement, and combined vitality, we will explore the power of the emotive body and the joy of dancing without judgment.  After warming up, we will learn the steps to the beat, practice movements through the space, and bring it together in group sequences.  We’ll free our inner fire, embody our authentic being, and dance by the sea to the rhythm of the drum.  All are welcome; no prior experience is needed, but spaces are limited, so please join the group soon if you feel called to move, feel, enjoy, and let your body speak.  Dancing barefoot is recommended, but sneakers are fine, too.   CONTACT GRACIELA TO JOIN +506 8644 0902 $25

The Salve Monos Drumming Circle Fundraiser is tomorrow, Wednesday January 28th, and Kech is finishing up a painting that will be included in the silent auction.  This is a favorite community event each year, a lot of fun, and it funds the incredible work of the Salve Monos team, who go above and beyond to care for our local wildlife.  It’s free admission, so come and enjoy the fun.  Several of our yoga instructors, event leaders, and healing practitioners have donated to the silent auction, and I hear there are many other items up for bid, so there are lots of opportunities to show your support between these, the merch, and the live auction for the painting that Pau Riveros will bring to life amidst the drumming.  We’re looking forward to seeing everyone there!

WITH OSCAR CORDERO SATURDAY FEBRUARY 14TH 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM The Handpan, or Hang Drum, a modern, melodic percussion instrument, is played with light touch of the hands and fingers.  Known for its resonant, harmonic, and relaxing sound, its note fields are tuned precisely to a specific musical scale. This immersive workshop designed for beginners presents a portal to a unique musical journey.  We will dedicate time to technique for precise touch to achieve clean, resonant tones.  We will practice essential rhythms with simple fundamental patterns to create hypnotic pulsations.  Then we will find our first melody, integrating scale and rhythm to play with confidence a short, graceful song.  Many people consider playing and listening to the Handpan a therapeutic experience.  The way multiple tones sound simultaneously creates a rich, enveloping sonic texture, both pleasing and complex, which captivates our attention promoting meditative relaxation.  Playing the Handpan is an intuitive expression, which allows musicians of all levels to enter easily into states of flow. ​ ​​Contact Oscar to join.  Spaces are limited to ensure a quality personalized experience. +506 6148 6437

BY KENDALL 'KECH' VALVERDE Found in Costa Rica’s tropical forests, the red-eye tree frog displays an interesting color dichotomy.  While at rest with eyes closed and limbs tucked in close, only its bright green body can be seen, allowing it to camouflage among the foliage.  When threatened however, the frog startles predators, flashing its striking red eyes, orange feet, and blue and yellow striped sides, giving it a moment to escape.  These frogs for the most part are active at night and live near water sources high in trees, using their sticky toes to grip leaves and branches.  This painting measures 184 x 136 cm, spray paint on canvas.  ​Contact Kendall to view works or commission something new.   +506 8497 9285

BY KENDALL 'KECH' VALVERDE The striking appearance of the Emperor Angelfish makes a drastic transformation over twenty-four to thirty months as the fish matures to the adult phase.  While the juveniles exhibit a dark blue body with white and electric blue concentric rings becoming vertical lines at the face, over time the coloration and pattern shift to blue and yellow horizontal stripes on the body, a yellow tail fin, and a light blue face with a dark blue mask over the eyes.  This painting measures 60cm x 60cm, acrylic and airbrush on canvas.

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 23 4:00 - 6:00 PM Let’s come together at the time of the new moon and align with the energies of cleansing, clarity, recalibration, and renewal.  We will begin with some guided movements to stretch and settle into our bodies so that we may rest comfortably during the sound bath.  We will set up a circle and connect with our intentions for what we’d like to invite in before we lie back, relax, and experience the power of sound and vibration.  Jose will orchestrate the sound bath with ancestral instruments including Tibetan singing bowls, Native American flutes, didgeridoo, shakers, shamanic drums, tubular bars, and more.  As the sound waves wash over us and move through us, we may look inside, release and clear old energies, and recenter ourselves in this safe and restorative environment.  Please wear comfortable clothes, bring a mat or thin mattress to feel comfortable lying on the floor, something to cover your eyes, and a blanket if you wish. Enjoy this unique experience of ancestral medicine in modern times.

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH 6:00 - 8:00 PM Experience the magic of Ecstatic Dance, facilitated by Jose Lopez.  Ecstatic Dance means creating a safe container for free-form dance where everyone may express themselves freely through movement. It’s a moving meditation allowing us to process what we hold in our bodies, to root into ourselves, and to connect with the music and with others.  Creating a free and safe container for Ecstatic Dance means no choreography, no photography, no talking, no shoes, no substances, and no judgments. We focus on our body, our spirit, the energy of the group, and the rhythm of the music. This is an inclusive space open to all people and all ages, no experience necessary.  We aim to build community around conscious dance and to come together every month around the time of the full moon to harness the active, celebratory energy.  We will open the space with a welcoming cacao circle co-facilitated by Diego Mejias and Jose Lopez, to set our intentions and establish a sense of trust in the group. Then after a brief movement warm-up we will immerse ourselves in Ecstatic Dance to a live DJ set by Chakaruna Project. To integrate our experience we will end our evening with a sound healing and closing circle, co-facilitated by Diego Mejias.
