Spiritual Community in Costa Rica
Morning group meeting where we practice going deep quickly in our sharing, focusing on the meaning and feeling rather than the details. Practicing spiritual community in Costa Rica!
Spontaneous dance and concert by the restaurant staff. Mario was kind enough to song American standards with Spanish lyrics. We danced and sang and laughed.

Stillness in Nature
Each morning at 7:15 am we gather to sit silently for open-eyed meditation on the lawn overlooking the ocean.
In the exercise we invite stillness to our body noticing the tiny movements, distractions, urges and thoughts that continue throughout the stillness.
After a while deep quiet emerges and we begin to notice again how alive the world around us and in us is.

Cafe de Playa - Coco Beach - Costa Rica
Aubrey and Chris settle in for lunch and beverages before beach time.
The morning spiritual practices were wonderful and already we are forgetting who comes from which community. That's me in the window reflection taking pictures.

Costa Rica Night Light
While we waited for the last of our group to arrive we ate at a beachside cafe where a Costa Rican cat befriended us.
The beach was lit by an almost full moon and lanterns on the palm trees.

The Pilgrims Are Arriving
After a long two flights and a layover in Dallas the community is beginning to arrive.
Smiling faces - how can people be so happy after being cooped up in a flying sardine can for so long? Because we know what delight comes from siting daily for an hour in meditation.
See the bags they are carrying? Water, chips, and cerverza.

Palms, Birds, Iguanas
A palm on the path to the restaurant. Iguanas watch from everywhere for unattended food. Bold birds swoop down and take it attended it not.
Travel weary, but happy to sit in paradise overlooking the ocean, the early arrivers get to know each other.
In the morning I checked out the meditation area possibilities. 7:15 it begins when it is still cool enough to sit still outside.

A Costa Rica Spiritual Adventure
I have nothing to complain about! I'm headed to Costa Rica with a group of pilgrims from our community to meditate in rain forests and on beaches.
We started practicing early in the beautiful and newly renovated San Francisco American Airlines international departure lounge which has a Yoga Room.
