A 7 day Tai-Chi & Raw Food Retreat, with Ophir Biran. Ophir will teach a simple and powerful Tai-Chi form of 8 steps. We will start with Qi-gong as basic warm up and breathing techniques. We will learn and practice meditation and daily yoga stretches. We will have spare time to relax and enjoy the land and absorb its abundance. At night, we will have different activities from a Bon-fire under the full moon, Shamanic Journey ceremony led by Ophir, and some silent meditations.

Eric Rivkin, an International Raw Food Chef and owner of the farm, will take care of all our culinary needs. You will get a chance to see permaculture and a self-sustaining farm. We will enjoy amazing organic fruit from the farm. Eric He will provide us with delicious meals, smoothies for breakfasts and great evening deserts.

You will be staying on beautiful farm land in the hills of the Diamante Valley (home to the tallest waterfall in CR). There is a lot of Beauty in this land. Eric will guide us on a permaculture trip around the farm. There are two major rivers that run through the farm. We can enjoy daily baths, waterfalls and swim in natural water pools.
