IN PROCESS: ORIGINAL ART: HOWLER CROSSING

1/27/2026

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!

SPANGLISH SOULS CLUB

1/5/2026

WITH RAQUEL SOLÍS
SUNDAY JANUARY 18th 
5:00 - 7:30 PM
In Spanglish Souls Club English- and Spanish-speakers come together to connect on a soul level and practice language naturally through mindfulness circles, interrelational exercises, intentional experiences, and human encounters.  It is not a language class; each meeting will have a different activity and dynamic through which we can participate with our learning language and create genuine bonds.

In our inaugural meeting, we will create a space with care and presence to:
  • Move our bodies consciously;
  • Breathe and release tension;
  • Speak our authentic perspectives;
  • Play with language free from embarrassment;
  • Listen and be heard;
  • And share a mindful snack.

​If you live in Playas del Coco and want to practice your conversational Spanish or English in an immersive environment without pressure, or if you feel called to share your language skills and convene with like-minded souls, join Spanglish Souls Club to speak from the heart and learn language in a natural and human way.  Here, language is not about perfection, it's about connection.
Spanglish Souls Club English Spanish Immersion practice around real activities with Raquel Solis Playas del Coco Costa Rica
Special price for the first meeting: $15 includes materials and a mindful snack.  Limited spaces available for an intimate group; write to Raquel to join.  +506 6211 1104

New Moon Sound Bath

11/3/2025

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.

FULL MOON CACAO DANCE

8/27/2025

Comments

 
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.

Art Exhibition & Open House

Saturday July 27, 2024
2:00 - 8:00 PM
At CoCo Yoga & WEllness

Kendall
We'd like to invite our family, friends, and extended circle to join us in celebrating our new space with an evening of art.  Kech has been working over the past several months to create more than twenty new large-scale works in spray paint on canvas, and he's excited to show his paintings in exhibition for the first time.  While most of his pieces depict Costa Rica's beautiful wildlife in vibrant color, we'll include a few of our collaborations with more whimsical compositions and meditative yantras.  Alongside the paintings we will show more than thirty works in glass and mixed-media figurative art by my mother Colleen Patell, and given the passion for art in our family, our daughter Aline will choose a few of her favorite paintings to display as well. 

We invite you to come by to enjoy the art, to help us celebrate the start of an exciting new chapter, and to take a tour of the new space.  We are so proud of how this space is coming together, and we're grateful to our architect and construction contractor Lucas Riviera for his incredible work, expertise, and attitude throughout the design and construction process.  It has been an wonderful experience to create at this magnitude and to put into practice Feng Shui philosophy in a build from the ground up.  We have been so fortunate to work with Lucas and his team who have welcomed and appreciated the Feng Shui principles and practices, and have elevated our ideas and vision to build something much greater than we could have imagined.  


This exhibition and open house is one evening only.  We will have refreshments to share, but feel welcome to bring your own as well and to stay and visit a while.  Although this is a private event at our new family residence and we will not be marketing broadly to the public, we aim to build like-minded community in this space, so please feel free to extend the invitation to your friends and other art enthusiasts.  The artworks will be available for purchase, so plan to come early if you're in the market for something new.  Mosty we are looking forward to bringing together our community again and for all the potential to create together in this new space, so please drop in when you can and be a part of this opening evening.  ~ Teagan
