Re-Forming Formed: 2007 Established: 2008
Gaiam One
Chimirol De Rivas, San Jose,
Costa Rica
 This community is one and one half years old. It is based in the Talamanca mountains of Costa Rica. The 10 acres is bordered by the Rio Chirripo (land of eternal waters in indigenous language). The temperatures range from 60-85 deg F (16-28 deg C) all year round. We enliven the land with Biodynamic agriculture and some Permaculture principles. We work with nature spirits.
We seek others to join an eventual land trust structure to share in sustainable living in a beautiful tranquil site of eternal springtime.
We live an embodiment of awareness of the unity of all of life. This is of paramount importance. Respect for all life everywhere is critical for the unfolding of conscious awareness.
There are currently 6 residents, with eventual population of about 15-20 seen as maximum.
Be guided by your heart rather than mind.
Please see website for more details. It should be fully operational by Jan 29.
