Liberate Your Inner Great Ape!

December 2 - December 8

Date changed!

Take a walk on the wild side with Zander Hathaway and friends at Florestral Forest Community, a magical retreat center where pristine jungle, fruit trees, gardens, and epic waterfalls abound. Enjoy an abundance of fresh, local, raw, organic, seasonal fruits, veggies, and coconuts. Practice natural movement and primal play with certified yoga teacher and MovNat instructor Astrid Bösser of MonkeyFit. Climb trees, sunbathe, swim in the river and waterfalls, walk barefoot, and relax with silent mornings and nights. Learn about our fellow apes, non-verbal communication, permaculture, and regenerative living, in a safe and private clothing-optional setting with comfortable

accommodations. Feel free to participate in the activities or simply follow your bliss… Pura vida!

Celebrate your wild side!

Meet new like-minded friends to go ape with!

Best buds may be few and far between, but at an Ape Living retreat, you’re sure to meet new friends who share your interest in natural living.

Hang out in a hammock or make a tree nest.

Go with the Natural Flow

Our daily flow will shift from being associated with numerical time to the natural light cycle. The first night we will enjoy a bonfire and opening circle after dinner. Then, we will transition away from dependency on modern technology and language, by resting when it is dark and practicing non-verbal communication in the mornings and evenings. Mid-day movement classes and activities will usually involve speaking. We will eat in accordance with our species-specific diet — mainly raw fruits and veggies, leafy greens, coconuts, nuts and seeds. On the final night, we will rekindle the flames and celebrate our return to civilization, rejuvenated and more deeply rooted in our wild nature.
