Cantando la Vida ~ Singing Alive Costa Rica
Want to sing in Costa Rica at Finca Amrta this February 7-9, 2025?
For countless years around the sun we have sung prayers deeply with the earth, shed countless tears to the river, released with the fire, called blessings up to the sky! There are songs all over the world, from people all over the world, let’s get together to see what songs want to come through!
Cantando la Vida
We will gather around center and fire to share songs, stories, laughter & prayers, intentions, blessings. Circles are scheduled throughout the days, facilitated and offered as a song teaching place. Community offerings are welcome: spontaneous singing, workshop during early hours or community time; yoga, nature walks, bodywork. Thank you!
All are invited to the song village who wish to ground, nourish, and balance their spirit in this way. Please join us at Finca Amrta, a sacred nature reserve and farm in Costa Rica’s southern zone for a weekend of camping, singing, and refreshing in rio Pedregoso, to deepen our relations with nature, spirit, and beyond!

*~**~**~* WHAT is a SONG VILLAGE *~**~**~*
A song village is what happens when caring, sharing, open-hearted people come together in deep gratitude to sing and live for a while. We are the village of song; what we bring, what we do, what we carry, say and sing, we create this together. We cherish this land and life through the tune that we share!
* Families * This is an intergenerational experience. Families are welcome, we have a volunteer lead Casa Kids. Let us know if you would like to run a children’s activity some time this weekend * cantandolavida@gmail.com include subject line ClV Kids.
To keep costs affordable, we ask for dharma.
Attendees will be invited to help the village, to the extent that you are able.
