Last Minute Arrival
The personal assistant of Lama Jigme, our Tibetan Monk that has been three times with us in Costa Rica, has just arrived for a Silence Retreat.of one month in Pedacito de Cielo Chirripo . Exceptionally, she will be receiving all and any of you who would like to know about the Project that Lama Jigme is doing here in Costa Rica in our sacred Chirripo Mountain. This Saturday, July 1st, 2017, please join us at midday to meet this wonderful woman in Ligia & Guy Dagonnier's home in Los Angeles de Canaan, where she will be happy to answer all the questions and speak of her experiences with Lama in Luxenbourg, Irelalnd and Holland. It is going to be a pot luck lunch and we are trying to arrange to have Lama Jigme on Skype to discuss, share & teach all of us present at that moment. This is an opportunity not to be missed for those of you who have enjoyed his teachings in the past or those who would like to get acquainted with this profound and simple Tibetan Master, before he joins us early next year.

Becca’s Mango Chutney…
Sweet Organic Mangoes and Manzanas Nacionales (Costa Rican Apples) make up the base of this delicious and complex condiment. The addition of Organic Indian Curry Powder, sweet onions, chile dulce, ginger, raisins, apple cider vinegar, organic cane sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon makes for a chutney you can eat straight from the jar. It’s a perfect condiment for any Indian dishes (vegetarian or meat curries especially), a glaze for meat, tofu, or vegetables, and according to one of my customers, it also makes a great vanilla ice cream topping! Definitely something to try if you’d like to brighten up your meal! 100% AWESOME y siempre hecho con amor!
