    Description

    We're nature lovers and have purchased a large property where the Caribbean Sea meets the rainforest. We have created a food forest and botanical garden. We're very adventurous and have chosen this project as our next adventure and retirement project. From Austin Texas we came to Bocas del Toro Panama in search for the ideal place to build a yoga and meditation retreat. This dream has come to life! We celebrated our grand opening this past February 2024. We need extra hands to help us with wood and painting projects that are never ending!

    When we set foot onto this property it was love at first site! If you choose us and we choose you to be part of this journey, you'll see why! I'm a proud mother and grandmother with high energy. Yoga and meditation helps keep me balanced and grounded.
