Plant roots in a vibrant rainforest community.
Florestral is a co-creative community in the mountains of Costa Rica, where nature, spirit, and conscious living come together.
This is a window into our world, where you can learn about our way of life, projects, and opportunities to visit or join as a community member. If you’re seeking a place to live with purpose, you’ve found it.
Living together with intention.
We are artists, musicians, builders, teachers, and seekers, brought together by a shared desire to live close to Mother Earth, support each other’s growth, and co-create a meaningful way of life.
Our community includes individuals, couples, and families with children of all ages, as well as many furry friends. With members from various nationalities and backgrounds, we welcome a rich mix of perspectives that nourish the growth of the land and community.
Following the wisdom of nature.
The land at Florestral is alive with quiet beauty and deep wisdom. Nestled in a lush valley beneath the Tinamaste Ridge, it stretches across forests, meadows, and the crystal-clear waters of the Diamante River. With spring-fed water, a blend of solar and grid power, and abundant space for both privacy and gathering, the land supports a life of simplicity and regeneration.
Once a teak plantation, much of it is now being reforested by the community as an ongoing act of healing and stewardship.
Built on truth, simplicity, and love.
