A very special thank you to my dear friend Nick Bloor who flew from the Gold Coast in Australia to come help with our Siva Ashram project in Costa Rica for the second time. I cannot even begin to express how grateful we are to this man for his immense contribution of knowledge, expertise and…
Last week I got back from Costa Rica after having spent 9 days there working on the next phase of the development of our Siva Ashram project. The trip that we make this time of the year is primarily focused on planting trees as part of creating our botanical garden. I was very blessed to…
In early June, I headed down to Siva Ashram by myself for a quick, five-day visit for Phase 4.2 of our landscaping. It was amazing to see how the grounds had gone from being almost completely brown in April when we were there during the dry season to being lush green in just two months.…

This is Part 2 of our April 2017 update on the work that we are doing to develop Siva Ashram in Costa Rica. If you missed the Part 1 update, you can read and watch the video here. After our friends Nick and Tracey left, another set of friends arrived. Jeremy, Jasmine and their daughter,…
In April, we headed down for the fourth year since acquiring the land to work on Siva Ashram. This year we focused on infrastructure, layout and the maintenance of the gardens versus just planting. We were joined by Nick and Tracey Bloor, our intrepid friends who “swung” over from Brisbane, Australia, “on their way” to…
We’ve spent the last 9 days in Nosara, Costa Rica, where our spiritual sanctuary Siva Ashram is located. My wife and I make about 2 to 3 trips down to Nosara a year and on each trip we work on developing the land we’ve acquired a little further in efforts to manifest the vision that…
Nosara, Costa Rica. It’s been over 6 months since our last visit here and we arrived in Nosara late afternoon after a long drive from our search for plants in the towns of Alajuela and Arenal. We have a lot planned for the next week. Day 1 and 2 will be spent marking out where…
Alajuela & Arenal, Costa Rica. It’s that time of the year again when we head down to Costa Rica to work on the development of our spiritual sanctuary. Since it is the beginning of the rainy season our focus at this time of the year is always planting. Our vision is to one day have…
This Spiritual Sanctuary in Nosara, Costa Rica, that we are creating was never going to be a job for just for my wife and me. It’s going to take a team of individuals that believe in the purpose behind it. My dear friend Tim Davies was one of the people that stepped forward to offer…
This is a further sharing of the massive tree planting that took place on our Spiritual Sanctuary in Nosara, Costa Rica on May 28th. I’ve fallen behind on my blog posting and hope to catch up this week as I spend the summer at home in New York City. We acquired about 120 trees from…
We continue our update on our spiritual sanctuary in Costa Rica project. A while back I asked one of my oldest and closest friend, Tim Davies, if he would help me with my project of building a spiritual sanctuary in Costa Rica. He immediately said yes. He flew 30 hours to be here with us…
