Location
Nosara
Over the last decade, the little surf beach town of Nosara has grown into one of the world’s hippest, holistic hot-spots. During the pandemic, this vibrant international community of nature lovers, surfers, yogis, and families found the perfect balance of privacy & peace from the chaos of the outside world by embodying the authentic nature of the Costa Rican Pura Vida lifestyle.
Ostional National Wildlife Refuge
Strategically nestled within the confines of the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge which extends across Ostional, Nosara, Pelada, and Guiones, Nosara is a nationally protected area covering 200m of coastline, also extending inland along estuaries and mangroves and including 3 nautical miles of marine protected area. This not only makes Nosara an active participant of natural conservation at its finest but also provides a highly- coveted setting for residential development within a conscious community of high caliber, thriving stakeholders.
Guanacaste Blue Zone
Located in the Blue Zone of Nicoya in the north-western shores of Costa Rica, Nosara is a prosperous vortex on the global grid that naturally perpetuates the tangible manifestation of abundance in all forms including health, wellness, economic stability, and environmental integrity.

As a board member of the Qualia Research Institute and a supporter of the Foresight Institute, he has cultivated a broad array of spiritual / personal growth practices. The issues he cares about most are: Human consciousness development (research, translation, and scaling of waking up, cleaning up, and growing up), open finance, and existential risk.

Casey, Marcia & Kai Hamelin
Marcia & Casey fell in love with Nosara after living here for over a year and a half starting in 2021. They are coming back to Nosara from Topanga, California, where they recently birthed the newest addition to their family, Kai. Marcia works with clients doing somatic and therapeutic coaching & therapy, while Casey owns his own company working in the tech and blockchain space. When they are not doing their worldly work, they like to read, meditate, surf, do yoga, spend lots of time outdoors/in nature, and cook. They are drawn to Nosara because of the extremely diverse & tight knit community, it being one of the best places in the world to continue to grow their family and raise their children, and it having one of the best and most consistent waves in the world.
Terry & Grizel
Having started developing Finca San Juan from a raw plot of land on an inaccessible mountain in 1999, Terry is the visionary who made the Dharma San Juan community possible. We are not simply buying the land for this community from Terry, we are inheriting a masterpiece he is passing on to the next generation to carry his vision forwards. Meanwhile, Grizel has lived on this mountain her entire life and can tell you what every plant here is called, and its traditional purpose. Her father was one of the main medicine men on this mountain for decades and her family embody the soul of this land.
