Description
Hola!
My name is Ron and with my partner Mary we are opening a small retreat center and glamping resort. We will be focused on hosting Aerial and flow retreats, although we will operate as a glamping resort and and event center with space for ~25 guests.
We are located on a beautiful acre of Aguacate, Costa Rica, about 15 minutes from Nuevo Arenal. We fell in love with this place and decided to pursue our dreams here. We have beautiful views of lake arenal and volcan arenal on good days as well. The weather here is as perfect as it gets, with daytime year round temps in the 70s to low 80s and 60s at night. This is probably the safest area in Costa Rica we have discovered, the food is amazing and there are countless activities nearby to be experienced.

Costa Rica is all about the Pura Vida lifestyle. During your time here, we will go out on multiple excursions, waterfalls, zip lines, hot springs, surfing, rafting, whatever you are interested in experiencing in Costa Rica we can make time to take you and share the beauty and warm hospitality that Costa Rica has to offer.
Help
We have 9 canvas tents, we will be a building dorm (bunk beds) in a 20 ft container.
We are looking for anyone who has any experience with concrete (we need to make a few basic slabs), basic bamboo construction, and possibly welding(this a more for a future project, but if you could teach us the basics we would be super interested). If you speak spanish that's a plus as we may be collaborating with local contractors to lead the complicated tasks. Couples are welcome. Long term available. Accommodations and breakfast provided. We are also interested in people who may have passion with eco farming techniques, food forest, etc, anyone who can lead yoga or qi gong sessions (once operating)
We have begun building as of June 1st and will be open early august for our first retreat
