It’s no secret that these days a lot of us live in an extreme state of disconnection, separated from our own bodies, our inner selves, communities, families, food sources, and land underfoot. Corpo Terra was conceived and created to help tip the balance the other way and provide a time and space for us to reconnect with the natural world, with ourselves, and the creative and expressive spirit that exists within each one of us. We believe that music and dance is deep medicine that can heal, uplift and empower an individual and a community. For 5 days we will live together and take that medicine with master facilitators. Corpo Terra will provide a place to slow down, explore, discover and nurture our creative spirit. To return to our bodies and dance to the movements and songs of our ancestors. And in remembering the ways they moved, and sang and played, we can remember the way they lived; in harmony and connection with the Earth. The instructors, the land and the experience were all intentionally chosen so that after our immersion you will return to your homes and communities rejuvenated, connected, confident and alive with inspiration. Each day will offer multiple opportunities to learn from our mentors, all rooted in a range of disciplines. Each one with decades of experience, deep knowledge and passion that they bring to Costa Rica, to come and share with you.

All music and dance activities will be held at Samanea Sactuary in San Luis, Costa Rica. Forty acres of cloud forest with hiking trails through secondary and primary forest, tucked into the mountains of the world famous Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. It has been undergoing a process of being ecological restoration since it was acquired by field biologist, restoration ecologist and educator, Karen Gordon. During our time together, we'll have the opportunity explore the land, wade in the river that runs through it, witness the animals and birds and be a part of its healing process. Participants will stay in shared or private rooms at Rancho de Lelo Ecolodge, located directly next to Samanea Sanctuary. The Ecolodge is owned and operated by a local family from San Luis and everyday you will be nourished by their organic Costa Rican dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All made with food sourced from local neighboring farms. There are only 4 private rooms with queen beds and the other 4 rooms have 2 double beds so space is very limited. First come first served so don’t hesitate to secure your spot!
