Awaken: Permaculture and Yoga Retreat
Spend a week with us in the jungle and learn to design a bountiful permaculture garden that supports all life.With the era of consumerism, the world faces many challenges from loss of habitat, to environmental degradation and social disconnection. We believe it’s time to cultivate opportunities for positive change and learning. Permaculture – derived from the […]
Costa Rica TreeHouse – Montezuma
The Sacred Geome-Tree House is now only available if you attend a retreat at Rancho Delicioso, are a guest of Joseph or possibly longer term rental if you get involved in the community (eco-building, retreat running, natural medicine, etc).

First Annual Mud Day Festival
Joseph and the volunteers were looking for an excuse to have a party of some kind, since a few volunteers had birthdays around the same time, and they chose a convenient day that worked for everyone. They decided they wanted a theme for it, so they started looking online to see what special events or […]
Aerial Silks
Since coming to Costa Rica I have been blessed with ready access to aerial silks. Right outside my door one hangs from the beautiful geo-dome. For anyone who does not know, an aerial silk is special fabric hung at heights. One or more acrobats will climb the silk and perform drops by wrapping the silk […]
Farm to Table Dinners
The volunteers at the farm created our first “Farm to Table” vegetarian dinner here at Rancho Delicioso. We were fortunate to have so many talented chefs here at the same time, so everyone was able to add something. It was difficult to pick the perfect spot for the dinner. The geodesic dome was the most […]
Geodesic Dome

It needed a lot of repair, and have improved it by adding one meter in height, making it taller give is more space at the bottom, since before, it didn’t […]
Photo Shoot for Pasion de Tres
Fashion Design in the Jungle of Costa Rica Today we did a photoshoot for Yasmin’s company Pasion de Tres.

Our Horses – Canela and Cilantro
Our newest addition to the farm, is Yasmin’s horse “Canela”, which was a gift from Mary at Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary. Canela is pregnant, and we’re looking forward to seeing her baby sometime between June and August… we’re not exactly sure when but hopefully after Deanne the veterinarian visits us in a couple of days, we’ll […]
Hydroponics Costa Rica
Originally we had wanted to use our Tilapia fish ponds to create an Aquaponics project here at the farm, which we saw as more “organic” in nature than hydroponics. However, the opportunity to learn hydroponics came up when an extensive two-week, hands-on course was offered in Cobano to people who lived in the area. Yasmin […]
Yoga Shala at Rancho Delicioso
