The EcoResidency of Roots & Waves
Meditation in nature, lived by the sea
Roots and Waves is a small beachfront eco-residency where people come to live close to land and ocean for a period of time.
We approach nature as medicine — like meditation — but for people who find calm in the ocean, waterfalls, beaches and rainforests.
Experience our Costarrican pura vida lifestyle by taking it easy and slowing down to the rhythm of nature.
For your body to root in nature and flow in life
Workshops and Therapies
Surfing until your arms are tired
Floating on calm salt water, watching the horizon
Taking a mud bath and shower in pristine waterfalls
Walking barefoot along empty shoreline
Sitting in a wood-fired earth sauna ( temazcal )
Listening to acoustic music as the sun drops
Gathering around bonfires and BBQs under moon and stars
Resting in natural meditation by the ocean or in the forest
Here, nature is the teacher, temple and practice.
Our founder takes the rol of mother nature’s assistant — taking you to the right place at the right time with a perspective of life that's integrated, connected, vertically and horizontally alive.
Resulting in a deep natural feeling of connection. Which we believe is essential in the complex, mechanical modern human world.
Our location is meant for this
We are right on the beach, off-grid with a native earth spa and a surf spot in front.
In the most bio-diverse place on Earth — under primary forest with wildlife passing by like it’s Jurassic park. Waterfalls, rivers, beaches, emerald bays, bonfires and stars.
