Katarína ----- Mensaje original ----- De: watz man. Para: gagan Enviado: Viernes 29 de Octubre de 2004 14:44 Asunto: Ray from Costa Rica Hi, Katka, here finally is the informationpaper we want to establish on our website. blessings Ray Welcome to Smaragtina and Rawtreat in rural Costa Rica We are a Retreat and Educational Project based on farms where we live and work according to permaculture/forest gardening philosophies. Our 150 acre (60ha) Farms are located about 20 min. walk from the panamerican highway. The farm itself is surrounded by beautiful primal tropical rainforest and accessible easy to get to by car and bike. The nearest town is Rio Claro which is about 3 km away from us. When you arrive here you will find a natural rancho, two houses, one hut and plenty of space to camp. The river and springs which pass our land invite you to bath and drink excellent fresh water. There is also a waterfall 45 min. away from us. Some of us are self sufficient, based on a great diversity of fruits, vegetables and edible wilds. All of this offers us and our visitors an adequate environment to live a simple raw vegan lifestyle. For those who are not into raw-vegan yet, organic cooked food and raw fish meals are also available in a Tico restaurant nearby. Educational Project To give a contribution in return to our services, there is a wide range of possibilities in creating a more practical and beautiful environment for the community. That could include sowing/transplanting, land maintaining up to harvesting and selling/exchanging our yields. And express your self in designing and building constructions, pathways, artworks, preparing raw vegan meals or teaching tai chi yoga and martial arts. If you help us 4 hours/day, 6 days week and pay $ 1 a day ($ 2 for under one month stays) you get a place to sleep and we share the yields of our farm-work with you. As a Retreat We offer single accommodations if wished for calm surroundings to meditate doing yoga, tai chi, detox, fast etc.. We then may negotiate the condition. For our guests who want to come regularly we offer a DURIANTREESPONSORSHIP. Ask Ray for more information.. We still have a lot of land to build houses and grow more trees. Galore fruit may supply even more people to live permanently here. If you are searching for a place to live amongst like minded people, this project will offer you some possibilities to realize your visions. Making the big picture more complete we cooperate with other farms and friends (.). To easily get near by town, restaurant etc. we offer to rent bikes. How to get here From San Jose several buses leave from the busstation TRACOPA directly to Rio Claro. One of them goes to Golfito, the other one goes to Panama. About 1 km before Rio Claro you can get off at the ricefactory ( Arrocera), without passing the bridge of the Rio Lagarto you go to the left (in direction to the bus you came with), to the right side there runs the river. This way you follow always straight ahead. After a 20 min. walk you pass our first house, follow the sign which says that you are ´at home´ after another 700 m. . There you will find the mainhouse. It´s also possible to take a Taxi from Rio Claro. Welcome to the Retreat and Educational Project SMARAGTINA and RAWTREAT !
