Blessed Days in the Unique & Awesome Southern Zone of Costa Rica


Welcome to several new Chayotevine Members ... and Pura Vida Blessings to all!

If you are driving South of the Paso Real (San Vito) exit on the Interamericana ... headed for Panama ... the road has been closed, read this article and check it out. There used to be a page that had all the road closures but it no longer exists... let me know if you find another one.

Costa Rica recently passed a law against the mistreatment of animals ... fantastic! If you wish to report mistreatment, you can call 800-8000-645. Thank you so much.

Master soundhealer Vyola Myst will be co-facilitating an experience of Vibrational Attunement with spiritual guide Sheri Cooke. Vyola and Sheri are conscious channels for love, light, and healing. Sheri's gift is to access Unified Mind and produce a shift in consciousness from being in a distracted state of separation to a state of unity-coherence. It is through this shift that the individual and collective mind is primed for the Vibrational Attunement which Vyola offers with the divinely inspired quartz crystal bowls and harmonic vocals.

This is an introductory experience, a preview of the deeper work in their full workshops to be announced.

The open house starts between 12 and 1 PM, with various healers present and a workshop from 1-2. Our offering is 2:15-2:45 with time afterward to try the instruments and answer questions about sound healing. Vyola Myst <vyolamyst@gmail.com> or see her Facebook page here.

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!
