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. You will be staying in your own apartment which has two rooms, both with double bed and wardrobe, a desk and they are overlooking the garden. The apartment has its own large bathroom with hot shower, a living room and a kitchen with a bar, a medium size fridge and an electric stove burner. For each night you stay at Unity, we pledge to plant a tree via Eden Reforestation Projects! 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. You are responsible for taking out their own trash. San Pedro is very lively neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants and bars only 5 min away (walking)... It has a hip and fun vibe with a large variety of cheap yet still delicious places to eat in the area because of the large student population. If you're into nightlife, there are a lot of bars and discos to choose from. The conscious minded one will love the many vegetarians restaurants and yoga studios only a few minutes walking form the house. San Pedro also boats the best street art of Costa Rica. 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 have a cat called Luna. 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.
