Unity is a conscious coliving community in San Pedro, the alternative & artsy neighbourhood of San Jose (The nicest part of SJ!). We're about 15 people living together, helping each other to grow on the spiritual path & trying to be as self-sufficient as possible in the urban environment. We have a garden where we grow organic veggies and also a yoga room where we organise events, yoga, classes, conferences... Search for us "Unity Urban Conscious Coliving" for more info. IG :unitycommunitycr. The room is located in a 2 bedroom independent apartment which is located on the premises of the community. It's overlooking the garden so you wake up with the bird songs. It has a bed, a closet and a desk. You share the bathroom / toilet with only one other person. For each night you stay at Unity, we pledge to plant a tree via Eden Reforestation project! You also have access to the whole community amenities: common bathroom, communal kitchen, yoga room, interior patio, garden. We host weekly communal dinners and sharing circles and we do a community garden day every last Sunday of the month. You're more than welcome to get your hands dirty, and you'll learn about permaculture! We often screen eye-opening documentaries or movies. But a big part of the program at Unity is based on the principle of do-ocracy. We believe in Burning Man ethos and encourage everyone to share their gifts with others. Not only does the spirit of co-creation act as a binding glue for the community, but also empowers people to step into who they want to be in the world. It’s also a step towards shifting the worldview based on the exchange economy towards one that supports social change in the direction of a gift economy. It could be a yoga class, meditation, workshop, a mini concert after dinner in the garden, a cooking class, guiding the preparation of a meal (a crepe party?), initiating an outdoor adventure, a hike, an art class, a women's / men's circle, a talk about a topic you're passionate about (you could even collaborate and organize a TED talk-style mini “unconference”... ). It can be anything you can think of! Of course this is just an invitation, no obligation, however this could be your chance to overcome your fear of doing something new and dare to reinvent yourself! Over the years we've had many activities and classes about spirituality, yoga, breathwork, Tantra, Taoism, conscious relationships, NonViolent Communication, Qigong, permaculture, all sorts of dance classes, ecstatic dances, recycling workshops, communal arts projects and many other cool knowledge exchange and co-creative workshops. This is a community so if you feel chatty, there is generally always someone home with whom you can chat and maybe share a meal... But if you'd rather stay in your studio and eat there, it's up to you. We will also add you to our whatsap group during your stay, so if you have any questions or need anything, you can ask there and have an answer very quickly. San Pedro is very lively neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants and bars 5 min away (walking)... You can walk to the center of San Jose (about 20 min) or take a bus (direct, about 10 min). We have a parking in case you need to park you car but contact us to confirm it is available for the dates you're coming. We are calling in easy-going, conscious, responsible, and clean people. Please know this is a shared house, not a hotel, if you are looking for hotel-style services and a maid making your bed every morning and cleaning after yourself all the time, this is not it. Our maid cleans the common areas twice a week (yogashala, communal kitchen, interior patio...) but guests are required to clean after themselves, maintain the space tidy, take out the trash, empty the compost and so on... Sharing a kitchen and bathroom is not for everyone. If this is your case, you might best suited to rent one of our studios, especially our 2 studios in front of the garden which are very peaceful and serene: Listing numbers: 18638288 (Moksha Studio with kitchen in conscious community), 21531474 (Studio Atman w/ Kitchenette in Conscious community). This way you will have your private space, yet can still enjoy what the community has to offer. We have a furry friend, a cat called Luna. There might be other pets from other guests. The bathroom has the typical Costa Rican electric shower head, which heats up the water as the water flows through it, which means if you want it pretty hot, you need less flow. Parking is subject to availability so make sure you contact us before to make sure it is available.
