Welcome to our Experiment into the Great Unknown!
We took the leap and moved to Costa Rica to explore a different way of life on a 6 month experiment.
Too much stuff. Too many things on the schedule that didn’t give Life. Too little time to create or to spend engaging in rich conversations with friends. We wanted more time. More aliveness. A simpler life. Less screens. We want our children to have a different experience. We wanted family life that felt like like harmony.
We’d pondered many alternatives.
Van life, overlanding, west coast vibes, tiny homes, remote off grid.
Eco villages, intentional communities, how to buy land with friends.
Unschooling, homeschooling, worldschooling and alternative ed galore.
Crooked the road, perilous the path, and now we find ourselves here.
In a rural Costa Rican town up the mountain.
It’s nowhere we planned.
And everywhere we are meant to be!
Things have an ease now.
Motherhood, education, nourishing food, a clean home.
There’s time for creativity, projects, relationships, for learning how to make my mom’s chicken noodle soup.
Rather than going to seek nature, another item on the list, we live amongst 100 shades of green.
It feels like a massage to my brain.
There’s a stillness here that settles.
Dreams feel more possible up here in this canopy of trees.
This pulse of peace allowing the space for ideas to be clarified and Visions to emerge.
Bringing us to a place of deep understanding of our values as a family and on how we want to raise our children.
