another bad ass yoga instructor and friend of Stephanie that also came and spent some time at La Española. Her yoga classes are very unique, playful and challenging. I enjoyed making her breakfast and our morning conversations.

Kuntur

a magical Ecuadorian musician and jeweler. He is an amazing artist and has a divine connection to Mother Earth. He took me and Marie on an adventure through the jungle. We hiked for 2 hours in the dark, barefoot and with candles to a small cabana where we camped for the night and enjoyed swimming in the pools of dos mangas by candle light. It was like something out of a movie. One of the most incredible magical moments of my life. Unfortunately I have no photos of this place because we didn't even take our phones. We were so present with nature and each other.

Elba, Juan and Luan

The sweetest little family that I fell in love with after a group meditation for the healing of Venezuela. Elba is an impressive yoga instructor with the most angelic voice and a kind open heart. Juan is a compassionate heart centered surf instructor, and musician. They are both healers and amazing parents to their beautiful son luan. Luan is so fun and free.I feel a special bond with these beauties after sharing magical profound ceremonies together.

Roy

A young and inteligente entrepreneur with a yoga/surf/plant medicine retreat in olon. We have also shared some very profound experiences together and share a special connection. He helped me out and supported me through friendship, facilitating deep healing and work opportunities.

Extremly grateful for all of you amazing humans including those who weren't mentioned. 🙏🏻
