An unique combination
we are focused on presence and surfing ~ natural meditations and relaxing time with yourself.
To play in nature is the best way to get feedback on life, to presence and natural meditation with physical, real, first-hand feedback from life.
( a raw experience in nature )
this place is alive in more ways that we can realize. it's density. beauty. spirit. touches people deeply.
( a community in nature )
our Costarrican philosophy ~ pura vida ~ is about having a good time in nature without worries.
dinning, bbq's, bonfires, music are all hands on experiences ~ in a laid back environment ~ where you recover your humanity participating with a good vibe.
( slowing to the rhythm of nature )
there is no man-made method or schedule. we show you how to use presence to connect with nature and get yourself to the right moment at the right time.
when life is guided by syncrony ~ a wave, a ray of light, or the gaze of wildlife are more meaningful than knowledge of mind.

four weeks at Paz
( Tiff · Hong Kong )
“surfing has been amazing. this is something else. surfing in the sunshine, warm weather, glassy, empties place I've surfed in my life. just grab a board, grab my swimsuit and just jump in.”
1 week at Paz
( Adrianne from Austin )
“7 years of being in the healing world, but somehow, the last 3 weeks were the most eye opening and integrative. It was a deep calling and understanding that this land would initiate something in me.”
three weeks at Paz
( Colleen · Ireland )
“Yes!! Paz is different because when you are there you really can let go of the systems you come from, slow down and see everything that is usually masked by distraction. When i was there my fears were cracked open, anxieties peeled away. My nervous system and my life's compass were reset, held by the immense beauty of the sea and the jungle, comforted by the breeze, recharged by the sunlight and guided by nature”

( the natural state )
brain & body
in nature, your body starts changing before you realize it. the heart rate shifts. stress hormones drop. your brain moves into a different state. it's not a vacation response. it's a biological one.
( the natural state )
rest & repair
the rainforest directly calms your nervous system. the dense canopy, natural soundscapes, and humidity ~ these stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, a state the body was built to return to. when cortisol drops, the breath slows. the oxygen-rich air, thick with natural plant compounds, supports clarity, immunity, and emotional regulation. your system doesn't just rest here. it relearns what safety feels like.
( the natural state )
regulation & resilience
the ocean shifts your chemistry. salt water increases circulation and triggers the release of endorphins, dopamine, serotonin. the vagus nerve tones. cut off from the relentless low-grade input of modern life ~ screens, noise, decisions, pace ~ the brain finally exits alert mode, bringing slower internal pacing, nervous system coherence, and a sense of presence that lingers long after you leave. this isn't escape. it's recalibration.
