Program Details
You'll have a beautiful but rustic private room with bathroom in the jungle. We're totally off the grid. Living here is not for the nature phobic - there are all kinds of bugs and critters, sometimes irritating but not deadly (no vipers!). There is a small basic kitchen for your use near the room, but all of your meals will be included.
Your responsibility will be providing yoga classes each morning for our guests. We include these classes in their stay. You will have the chance to earn some money by offering whatever else you are comfortable with (energy sessions, private classes, etc.). We do have local massage therapists, so we do prioritize them for massages.
We have boats that go to town based on the guests schedule which you are welcome to use for free.
Perks :
You can use the Kayaks if not being used by the guests.
Yoga mats and blocks for your own practice.
Access to various hiking sites on the property.
Permaculture farm and cacao tour and cacao process tasting
Opportunity to join guests on tour at cost, when not on tasks and
depending on availability.
Activities & Shift
