Co-create work/life balance in the Blue Zone of Costa Rica, Guanacaste

Description

We aim to live in harmony with all our relations. The founding family is looking for support with their inquisitive 10-year-old son, active 6-year-old son, and sweet/fiery 2-year-old daughter. We are looking to start our own lifelong learning program and play care for future residents, as well as, retreat participants and their families.

We are also looking to create permaculture gardens, greenhouses, food forests, and food supplies for the on-site restaurant and a growing number of guests and residents. Looking for people interested in supporting high vibration living, retreats and a co-working space that supports people's professional and personal development.
