Pura Tierra Eco Village & Sustainable/Healing retreats
Guanacaste, Costa Rica's National tree & Pura Tierra logo - stands for universal equilibrium and sacred creation. A symbol of stability and growth; the roots represent attachment to life, the trunk the will, the branches are the protectors of creative peace and the top represents spiritual consciousness.
 We are in the beginning stages of gathering new friends to come and live with us in a self-sustaining, off-grid, affordable, healing retreat, loving community in beautiful Costa Rica. We are a small but awesome group of people & families that are pooling our funds together to create a thriving life in the tropics and we are looking for more like-minded friends who are looking to live this life.
There is a lot of info on our Website where you can get an idea of our vision,plans and investment.... please check it out...
