Recharge in nature: help a little, heal a lot not far from the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica

  Beschreibung

  🌿 Welcome to our little green corner of Costa Rica
  
  Nestled in the rolling green hills behind the Karen Mogensen Nature Reserve, our small rural village is a peaceful haven where life still flows at a gentle, authentic pace .
  
  This is real Costa Rica, refreshingly non-touristy, yet within a short drive you can reach a few quiet, palm-fringed beaches for a perfect day by the sea. On our own property, a seasonal river with small waterfalls (from May to December) brings life and music to the valley. Wildlife is part of daily life here: howler monkeys swing through the trees, coatis and iguanas wander by, and every so often, even a curious puma or a pair of coyotes passes through the hills.
  
  If you’re recovering from a burnout, longing for peace, or simply looking to reconnect with nature and yourself, this might be your perfect pause. Here, time slows down. The forest hums, the river sparkles, and you finally have the space to breathe again.
  
  Our home is perfect for those who value quiet time and emerge in nature in a rural village. Volunteers who enjoy keeping themselves busy with reading, writing, drawing, yoga, or peaceful walks will love it here. There is an easy jungle trail leading to the river, cosy hammocks for lazy afternoons, and high-speed Fiber optic internet for those who need to stay connected.
  
  We are always happy to help volunteers explore the region and offer them a ride.
  
  To preserve the natural peace of this place, no loud music is allowed on the property. The jungle soundtrack of birds, frogs, and crickets is music enough. 🎶
  
  If you’re looking for a place surrounded by nature, a spot where the jungle, reforestation, and pura vida truly meet, then we’d love to welcome you here. 🌱💚

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Before settling down in Costa Rica, we traveled to over 40 countries and love learning about other cultures and perspectives. Workawayers who join us will find plenty of space for cultural exchange, whether it’s cooking plant-based meals together, sharing travel stories, or simply learning from each other’s backgrounds.
  
  We’re also active in our small community. In December we will organize another spay & neuter clinic for cats and dogs, which has become an important event for local families. Volunteers staying with us at that time are welcome to get involved and experience this unique aspect of rural Costa Rican life.

  Arbeit

  We’re a small team of two running a reforestation project and cultivating a small organic vegetable garden tucked away in nature. It’s not a big social hub, rather a peaceful place for those who love quiet days, meaningful work, and the sounds of the jungle.
  
  There’s always something to do, and tasks are flexible depending on your interests and skills:
  🌱 Light tasks: gardening (weeding, watering, planting), preparing meals, and keeping our outdoor spaces happy, harvesting dragon fruit (July to September)
  💪 Physical tasks: clearing pasture overgrown with tall grass to prepare new areas for tree planting for those that crave a good work-out
  🪵 Creative projects: sanding, assembling furniture or building small wooden structures — perfect for handy volunteers who love to tinker.
  
  We try to match tasks with what you enjoy most whether that’s working with plants, wood, or food!
  
  You’re free to plan your own breaks and lunch in your private outdoor kitchen. Afternoons are usually reserved for relaxing, reading, exploring the property or the region or simply enjoying the hammocks. On workdays we share dinner together at the house , a lovely time to unwind, chat, and exchange stories about the day.
  
  What we offer
  • A tranquil, natural environment to recharge mind and body
  • Private space with your own kitchen
  • Fiber-optic internet for those who like to write, read, or reflect online
  • Walking trail to a river canyon
  • No loud music, no rush, just jungle peace and bird song
  
  This is ideal for:
  • Volunteers recovering from burnout or seeking a slower lifestyle
  • Writers, readers, or quiet souls who love animals and nature
  • People who want to give a little and receive a lot in return in calmness, clarity, and connection
  
  Everything is designed to be stress-free, with full respect for your rhythm and energy levels.
  
  It is perfect for volunteers that appreciate independence, peace, and a slower way of living in nature.
