 Kech created this mural to bring color and interest to a central point in Playa Hermosa, where the main road and second beach entrance meet. Enthusiastic to explore a new technique, he found inspiration in the local community and the mosaic work that has been iconic to this town–find mosaics installed on beach tables, trash receptacles, signs, gate-houses, and in the homes and restaurants. A tribute to the artists, local initiatives, and community, this mural celebrates Costa Rica’s vibrant natural beauty and encourages us to continue to care for the land and sea. The Garden Party Benefit this Sunday June 7th is a great opportunity to connect with the cause and support Playa Hermosa’s environmental initiatives. Join the fun at La Gaviota Tropical Jardines 4:00 -7:00 PM with live music, artists booths, silent auction, and raffle. And the following weekend June 11th-14th you have a unique opportunity to witness murals in the making as forty artists transform Playas del Coco public spaces at the Summer Camp Graffiti Jam. Connect with Kech and the other artists Thursday evening at The Palms, watch them paint Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and the weekend will close with a celebration Sunday night at Zi’s. More event details are posted on their page: @SummerCampGraffitiJam

We’ve got two new classes lined up for Tuesdays and Thursdays in February. Gaëlle is teaching a morning Slow Flow to awaken the body and center the mind to start the day with renewed energy, and Adriana is leading Barre Fitness in the evenings for a low-impact full workout to end the day in a powerful way and rest well at night. Our other yoga classes continue–Monday and Wednesday evenings Vinyasa Yoga and Sound Healing with Gaëlle, Wednesday mornings Yoga for Clarity and Calm with Sarah, and Friday mornings Vinyasa Flow with Taylor. Taylor’s visit to Coco will come to an end this month, so get into class with her while you can. It’s been great having her back, and we’re glad she’ll be teaching a few more classes yet. We’ll miss her uplifting energy when it’s time to go, but we’re grateful to keep the Vinyasa group going with Sarah stepping in to lead starting February 27th.
We hope you’ll join the wonderful upcoming events in February. The Full Moon Circles with Raquel and Diego have been beautiful experiences with ceremony and sound, and marking each month with these inspiring rituals in community is a joy. We’ll have our second Spiritual Satsang with Vanessa diving deeper into yoga philosophy. The conversation flowed in our first circle creating a real sense of sharing and connection, and we're looking forward to this communal aspect of yoga continuing to grow, feeling the support of the sangha in our practice. There was a great group for the first Journal Circle with Sarah, and they’ll be getting together again this month to explore shadow work, bringing to light what might be buried or obscured within. Oscar is leading another Handpan Immersion Workshop; it sold out last month and everyone enjoyed the experience immensely, so we’re lucky he’s continuing to teach and make this instrument accessible. And finally, to close out the month, we have a special opportunity to learn African Dance, moving the full body with energy and expression. Please see the dedicated posts for each offering for more details, and contact the event organizers with any questions and to join the group.
