💪💪Woohoo we grow yucca! It’s calorie rich

💪💪Woohoo we grow yucca! It’s calorie rich and delicious. Growin our dinners baybay!! Read on and comment to discuss the origin of existence!!!
💫🌎
Biblical religions believe in creationism. God created earth and the universe.
🤨
Basically all legit evolutionary biologists, physicists, and astronomers believe in the Big Bang theory. Scientist don’t know or claim to have any idea what caused the Big Bang…but what we know is that we can still measure the energy waves reverberating throughout the universe from the bang which is the origin of the universe.
🤩
Scientists will say the Big Bang happened 14 billion years ago, that planet earth is 4.5 billion years old right now, and that humans evolved from homo erectus 200,000 years ago.
🤪
Biblical religious folk will tell you god created the universe 7,000 years ago and that god decided to impregnate a virgin woman with his son, Jesus.
🌟
I wonder who’s right. The scientists or the religious people. They can’t both be right, very very different stories.
💥
No one should be offended by this post. All I’ve done is type out the stances of two opposing groups who are trying to understand reality.

Looking forward to the comments ✌️

🌈🌸On day 1 of our February retreat we will wake up early, hike down to the magical river and have our first nature mediation and a cold plunge.
🐒🧘
We’ll then make our way to the yoga deck for some nice vinyasa flow followed by fresh sweet coconut water🥥💦, ice cream bananas🍌🍌, pineapple🍍and papaya.
🌞
After some resting by the pool we’ll begin our farm tour, introducing you to all our trees and plants we’ve been carefully cultivating for two years now as the toucans and butterfly’s fly over our heads.
🏝
We’ll close the day with a sharing circle as we get to know each other better followed by an all organic hoke cooked dinner of baked plantains, delicious beans, steamed veggies, guacamole and fermented coconut crackers.
😍
It will be a blissful day and you can be a part of it.

🌸
One of the common questions has been if we will require vax proof and mask wearing….nahhh
💫
Does the vax work to lower the spread and hospitalizations of covid YES! Do masks help lower the spread PROBABLY YES! Are those things good YAAA SURE! Is the vax dangerous PROBABLY NOT (but we don’t know any long term possible issues). Should we stop living in fear of getting a virus that doesn’t hospitalize most people who get it YEPPPP!
😎😎😎
Is it time to start living life normal and honor that this world is dangerous and nature is a biatch in terms of control and safety and it is what it is YAAAAAS. We’ve done enough as a society to lower the spread.
🌎
Who has my nuanced options on this stuff??
🤝
If you’re vaxxed you are welcome to come to our retreat.
Unvaxxed?? Also welcome.
😄
Masked or unmasked…doesn’t matter to us. All are welcome.
🙏
Lockdowns and mandates are so 2020. Over it. Life is a risk.

🤪Yesterday’s coffee harvest on our land! So awesome! DM ME to join our February retreat!!!
☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️😎😎
Apologizing when you’re wrong or mean is one of the most important decent qualities to have. I’ve responded to most of the comments from 2 posts ago which in summary said I think people who believe in god and unscientific miracles are silly…but I also called them dumb and mentally ill which was unnecessary of me. I’ll do my best to not let my emotions get to me next time. I’ll still express my opinion but without using insults at people who don’t view life through a scientific lens of reality like I do. It’s petty and I say my bad for that.
🤝
Moving on let’s talk about meaning and purpose or lack there of. My perspective is that there is absolutely no inherent meaning in the entire universe, but individual sentient beings create purpose in their short lives just to get through it enjoyably rather than miserably.
🙀
For example, I personally care about environmental sustainability and reducing my carbon footprint so much that I made it my “purpose” to move to Costa Rica, build a farm and grow my own food locally. But I also know that our sun is expanding and will set earth on fire in a couple billion years. That’s a fact look it up.
🌞 🔥
I understand there is no purpose of earth or a state that is supposed to be achieved, but I still care about it in the short term just to make something fun and interesting if my life and children’s lives.
🧠
I guess some people think there is a bigger purpose and meaning to life beyond what I explained.
👁
What do you think??

I’m seeking some community feedback here, so comment your opinions. I want to see where the majority stands on this.
😁
My belief is people who strongly believe in ghosts, spirits, god, religion, reiki, energy healing, cranial sacral work, flat earth, astrology and things like this are one or multiple of the following: dumb, easily manipulated, mentally ill, haven’t read scientific literature, or just really lost in their own self that they need to believe in miracles to keep going.
🙃
This might offend people, but honestly I’m pretty amazed and offended when people post about their god worship and astrological bullshit so how about let’s all agree to not be offended and just use these platforms to share our opinions and have fun conversation. We’ll never know what side is objectively the truth on these big topics, we are just sharing opinions and these are mine.
🍄
I’m a yogi, organic farmer, vegan, and psychedelic voyager but also an atheist and environmentalist. The things I’m interested in tend to attract a lot of people who believe in god and ghosts etc even though I don’t at all, so I’m surrounded by these people, many of whom I love as people just think they’re a bit lost.
🐒
I think we are products of evolution, there is no real meaning in life, no predetermined fate, we’re just here for a blink of universal time until the next asteroid hits and I think that’s great. It is what it is.
☄️
Let me know what you think.

🍄🐒Wonderful family trip to Monteverde. I went bungee jumping, zip lining, saw a couple huge red tailed boas, had delicious vegan pizza, ran 10 miles on my bday, climbed old trees, and best of all was reunited with my love @naturalialove after her trip visiting home.
🥰🤪
Taking a trip now that we have a farm has a whole different feeling because we get to return home and see all the growth and changes that happened while we were gone. Can’t wait to see! Almost home!

Society reinforces the normalities it creates, or

Society reinforces the normalities it creates, or I should say we create as a collective. About half of them are great, be kind, help those in need, don’t commit violence, provide education to everyone, good stuff. But many normalities are not helpful or in my opinion not conducive to happiness, freedom and sustainable health.

I feel so great connecting to nature and my wild side rather than conforming to societally accepted lifestyle standards.

They will tell you to get a normal clean haircut, to eat meat, to plan rather than have a spontaneous adventure, to not do things extreme, to follow a faith based religion…but I don’t know about all that…

In my opinion I love being an extreme naturalist, ultra runner, try my hardest, live intensely, mindfully, get to know nature, be one with nature, reject systems of environmental and human oppression. Be one with the earth. Learn and listen to pachamama. I strive to take responsibility for all I need to survive and try to source my needs sustainably from my land and local community. I’m a work in progress with a clear goal.

I finally fully understand and have decided my per

I finally fully understand and have decided my personal stance on the vax after much contemplation. I’m not vaxxed, don’t think I’ll get vaxxed, but I support the vax haha let me explain.
🙄🙄
If you see anything factually wrong in this post please comment and let me know.
🧐
I believe the vax works in giving people pretty good immunity to covid, although not perfect immunity, but this will slow the spread for sure.
👍
I also thinks it’s totally safe in the short term. Billions of people have been vaxxed and a a tiny percentage of people have experienced negative or questionable side effects. Any medicine will have some percentage of consequences to people but it’s clear that the vast vast majority of people (99%+) experience nothing bad after getting the shot.

So why am I not vaxxed???? Because we have no data on the long term effects of this new vax technology. Odds are there are no longer term negative effects but we don’t know because it’s all new and I’m a naturalist hippy so I’d rather not be part of the experiment.

I’m young and exceptionally healthy and fit compared to the average population, making me the least likely group to get really sick from covid. Getting covid and recovering gives you superior immunity than immunity from the vax. THUS I feel more comfortable not getting the vax, potentially getting covid, and recovering rather than getting vaxxed. So that’s where I’m at! What do you think about my choice?? I’m truly interested, comment

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🌸🍄🍄🍄I ran a trail half marathon this morning and we grew oyster mushrooms! They are deliciousness and trippy! Makes me so happy to grow and source all the things we need to thrive on our farm. We work hard, focused and are getting there.
🌻
Maybe it’s just getting older, maybe it’s because I’m getting married soon, maybe it’s because our bananas are finally fruiting, maybe it’s because I’ve been running like a savage…but these days I’m more grateful for the present moment of my life than ever and I seem to more frequently scroll through memories of my past organizing all my experiences into place making sense of how I got here. Muddy pic is from Woodstock Fruit Fest 7 years ago. Now I’m an exotic fruit farmer.
🎥
The best choice I’ve made throughout my life is to be unapologetically me and intensely pursue the things that interest me most. I have to thank my parents as well for allowing me to pursue my weird interests even when it made them nervous.
🐲🐲🐲
Nonattachment is also key to success and staying present and grateful. All the things I have and appreciate can be gone at any moment. Work hard to accomplish your dreams and know they are also fleeting. It's just the reality so work with it or suffer.

🌞The older I get the more I observe that life is a constant flow of change and nuance. I don’t see many things as black or white anymore, wrong or right. It’s all perspective and opinion while we absorb both info and propaganda from everyone. We never truly know.
😸
As a kid I was told that grades, family, status and safety were the most important things in life. Some of that for sure wise. But not a balanced picture in my opinion.
📚
Then when I went off on my own to travel the world I felt having crazy sometimes risky experiences, often influenced by mind altering and expanding substances was the way to live! To have little to no responsibility and to ride the craziest waves of life with no fear. That was a great time, and I learned so much. No regrets.
⚡️🤪
Now, while I definitely still resonate with my past philosophies, it yet again has evolved. I still believe is studying, being as safe while also living life to the fullest and experimenting, but now I love adding responsibility to my life, grounding, and building a tribe and family in the traditional sense.
👨‍🌾
I don’t vibe with frequent substance use anymore, I prefer to be very clear headed in the material natural world working as hard as I can to understand nature and plan for my best life. I am absolutely obsessed with conditioning my body to be able to run a farm while not getting injured but be as fit as possible ready for anything that comes my way. I’d really like to start training martial arts.
🤼‍♂️
Here are some things that have not changed in my view for 10 years now.
-Spend as much time in nature as possible.
-Try to lower all stimulation in life and focus on breath and simple things.
-Eat colorful plants and avoid animal products.
-Move your body pretty hard daily.
-Be in the sun.
-Strive to increase your sustainability and lower your waste.
-Put effort into the relationships that nourish you most and find love.

Those are the big ones.

🏃‍♂️Check out my fitness data collection

🏃‍♂️Check out my fitness data collection device tan! Haha I took off the strap a few days ago to take a break from heart rate data collection and sleep monitoring. I did this because I am someone that really enjoys the dopamine hit of data collection and self analysis while I am also someone who notices and critiques when an external force gives me dopamine which leads to addiction.
🤪
These devices are great for self improvement, I love technology, I also love recalibrating myself back to my animalistic nature rather that a purely living as a hyper modern creature that demands stimulation at every step.
🔥
Our modern life is too damn stimulating and I think this contributes to peoples depression and feelings of emptiness. Technology is so stimulating and in our lives at all times that simply being yourself without the stimulation makes us sad because we have such a blown out drip of dopamine from technology and substances.
🙃
I love the life journey of pushing myself, being involved in the modern world and having powerful experiences with substances while also constantly striving to be more present and mindful and connected to nature rather than technology. I am always happier the more mindful I am. Technology and stimulation is attractive, but never as gratifying as simplicity, mindfulness and discipline.
🥰
I’m still running like a savage, just not collecting the data for a bit. And it feels good.

❣️🍫I’m marrying a chocolate maker maestra

❣️🍫I’m marrying a chocolate maker maestra who runs in the mountains🏃‍♀️, speaks 4 languages, certified yoga teacher, gives me so much love and appreciation, helps run our entire farm and home👩‍🌾, and makes me laugh she’s very silly. I’m beyond lucky to have found her and convince her to build a life with me.
🤪🍄🌞
Natalia and I got together because of chocolate and covid. Covid hit in March and she had to flee her graduate program in Italy. We had met only once in person but had a beautiful connection so instead of her going home to Tijuana I invited her to visit Costa after freezing in covid filled Italy. She agreed to visit Maggie and I for a couple weeks then head off to Colombia where she had plans to visit a chocolate making friend. Long story short she never made it to Colombia and we got engaged 12 months later. She has gently yet successfully pushed me to let go of habits and perceptions that were harming me and instead inspired me to blossom into my best self. And the journey of transformation continues for the both of us.
😍😍
When Natalia arrived in Costa she was a cacao and chocolate enthusiast but had never actually made chocolate bean to bar. She knew making chocolate was her path though.
🤓
After tons of workshops, farm and factory visits, and research…look what she has done. She’s an incredible bean to bar organic chocolate maker and cacao farmer here on our land. She is so dedicated and hard working. This is only the beginning. Our bars will be in your local health food store soon enough. Manifesting passions in real time over here 😘😘

9 YEARS VEGAN 🤪🥭🔥🌱 Most vegans don’t

9 YEARS VEGAN
🤪🥭🔥🌱
Most vegans don’t make it this long, I still feel passionate about living vegan 9 years deep!! Some things have changed in these 9 years and some have not.
🌞
I still eat the same way! Fruit fruit and a cooked high carb bean veggie avo filled dinner! No supplements or powders other than B12. I’m a marathon trail runner, yogi, a great lover, I’m a fuckin farmer, I rarely get sick, my blood work is always perfect, honestly I’m a living example of a happy healthy vegan.
🍄
My view on animal rights also has not changed. To eat foods that come from animals implies making an animal uncomfortable, stressed, and ultimately killing it. I’ve lived closely with animals on farms, all the animals humans eat have the ability to create a deep relationship with other beings, so to abuse them is fucked up. If you can thrive on plants like I have for almost a decade, why eat food that abuses animals?? Simple. 🐏 Unless you’ve been the victim of dumb ass keto carnivore propaganda and think that meat is the new kale and in that case I can’t help you and don’t even want to haha good luck with that dumb dumbs. Read a fuckin nutrition text book instead of listening to a so called YouTube doctor that loves bacon.
🐖
The only that has changed in me as a vegan is in the first few years I thought any vegan diet was always better for animals and the planet than a diet of animals products. But living and learning on farms and in different communities around the world I realized food sustainability is a bit more nuanced. A processed food vegan diet comprised of grocery store ingredients that were imported from all over is probably worse for animals and the planet than someone who lives in a rural town, has some free roaming chickens for eggs and hunts 2 large wild animals per year to feed their family. So I’ll say I have more respect for hunters who kill their own food and don’t buy processed packaged foods than when I first went vegan.
I’m so blessed to be a fruit and veggie farmer now living on the land and growing all my own fruit starches spices beans and veggies. Walkin the walk over here bitches

🌸💧🐒Your life is a constant high speed cha

🌸💧🐒Your life is a constant high speed chase of choices and decision making. Our monkey minds tell us to go for the quick fix which leads so sabotage. Our inner wisdom asks us to be patient and work hard and calculated.
🌈🕉
Imagine if you made a deal with yourself right now to ONLY make great choices in your life. You want a few beers to numb the pain you do some breath work instead. You want to play video games you go plant some seeds outside instead. You want to eat tasty junk food nah you go make a smoothie. You want to sleep in you take a run. You want to isolate and mope around you call a friend instead. Imagine if you lived like that.
😏
Self esteem is built by accomplishing estimable acts. You can build an unbelievably enjoyable exciting life if you only allow yourself to make great choices. It might seem hard in the beginning but positivity is an addiction too when you constantly stack positive acts in your life.
📚
I’ve given in to sabotage before which in the moment feels good but always bites me in the ass. I’m pure positivity now. It’s a grind but it’s rewarding and working in my life. It’s more sustainable.

Durian, massive waterfalls, family, lover, this is my life and it’s an incredible one.
🐒🥭💧🌈🌞🕉🌸🥥
I either did saintly work in a past life to deserve this or life is random chance and I got drawn the luckiest card or hard work and good intentions pay off.
🤷‍♂️🤪
Either way I’m so grateful for the life I live y con la abuela medicina de planta ever so slightly lingering in my body the majesty of life and nature and growing up feels like the richest reward I could imagine to receive. Living feels so good. Even the bad times and stresses are so intense that there is fun in the intensity.
🌚🤘
Life is all about perspective and gratitude or lack there of. If you are sensitive enough to feel the small victories in life your whole life can be a ride of happiness and gratitude even when hardships occur. Easier said than done but there are gems in every situation. Being able to see them is up to you.

🌸Greetings from the other side of our journey con la abuela de todas las medicinas.
🌿
This medicine is water. It’s healing, it transforms even the strongest of things, it flows, it can be gentle or incredibly vigorous. It cannot be stopped, it is to be praised and admired. It is the core of life itself.
🌓
I learned to remain humble in my lack of knowing. Life is a constant mystery. The moment we think we have control of a situation life reminds us that things are deeper more complicated than we can ever imagine. To surrender in the moment is wiser than to set expectations.
🍃
La abuela reminded me of the ultimate truth that is too easy to forget which is one love. Interconnectedness of all things. Nature. Familia. Oneness.
🕉☯️
Muchas medicinas channel this message, pero la abuela has even more to teach us. It’s a complete destroyer of ego and self to a degree that I did not know was possible before this journey. I found myself naked, pressed against the earth in the dark, magical yet haunting green geometric patterns all around me, purging out of everywhere, and I completely dissolved into nothingness. The moments of lucidity were so frightening, disorienting and full of fear, the only choice I had was to scream…or surrender a la medicina y la comunidad that was helping me breath through la medicina. I tried to be like water but was stuck in ice.
🧊 💧
As I came back to self it felt like coming back from death. It was so beautiful to be alive and connected to nature and oneness. I am so grateful for all my teachers and myself for choosing the narrow path of mind melding self inspection, growth and release. It’s a very messy frightening path, but the revelations are the highlight of my life and I continue to walk the path with strength and confidence in the power of water and the act of surrender. 🌈🙏
I wouldn’t wish what happened to me on my worst enemy…yet I hope that all the people I care about have the privilege to experience what I went through. It’s impossibly complicated, so I’ll just surrender to the flow and trust that the medicine calls those who need it. You’ll just know🤙

🍍🥭🍫I am sure many people out there think

🍍🥭🍫I am sure many people out there think it’s crazy that for the past 9 years I’ve eaten mainly fruit until dinner and that it’s normal for me to put down 5 mangos and 10 bananas in a day. So I am aware coming into this conversation about healing and wellness remedies that it’s very common to be ignorant on a topic and completely dismiss it simply because you have not tried it yourself or researched the topic deeply. Dismissing something because you are not use to it but know nothing on the topic is a bad way to go. That’s faith based thinking not intelligent thinking.
🧠
Scientific thinking takes a topic, does a ton of tests and waits for a pattern or lack there of to emerge in order to make some kind of consensus on the situation.
🥸
It’s awesome that the community here on IG has a diversity of philosophies so I am stoked to chat in the comments with you all about this one. Okay here we go…

Reiki

Urine Therapy

Chiropractic

Cranial Sacral Therapy

legit or not legit??

I’m skeptical about all these methods of healing so I’m interested in hearing peoples testimonies and any evidence to back up whether these are legit or fake?

Much love

Who’s in the mood for some hard truth??
🤘
Achieving excellence in life happens by consistently making small step of progress that are not that monumental while they are happening. Small steps are hard to measure and you can feel like you are putting in the work for nothing. But it’s not for nothing. Small steps accompanied by consistency makes life changing leaps in your life.
🏃‍♂️🐒
In order to completely change your life for the better you need to be prepared to live a life of small yet grueling and not satisfying small steps forward and never stop. Be consistent.
🦶
Many people don’t make their wildest dreams come true because achieving excellence is hard and takes a long time vs living a more normal life, not challenging yourself too much and finding your happiness in brief moments of drinking or buying things. The latter choice means you’re living this roller coaster of emotions being depressed then stoked then back to realizing you are not reaching for your highest potential.
🌈🍍
So here is my advice. If you want sustainable long lasting meaning and gratitude in your life, choose a really hard goal to aspire to, set a game plan that might be a really long multi year plan, and chip away at it daily until you realize you are there. Don’t give up, you will definitely fail if you give up but if you keep going with little steps you always know you’re getting closer. Think about me in Yukon Canada biking all day freezing my ass off knowing one day I would get to Costa Rica if I kept pedaling. It took me two years but day by day grinding I got here and now look.

🐒The amount of differing conspiracy theories an

🐒The amount of differing conspiracy theories and beliefs the people I know share about how they think the world works is fascinating. My family back in LA tells me that Natalia and I are the only people they know that are not vaccinated, while the majority of my friends and fellow jungle folk here in Costa think the vaccine is a control chip that will sterilize our offspring all orchestrated by Bill Gates.
🥸
I have friends who say Jesus listens to their prayers, some who eat only meat, friends who drink their morning piss, and some who enema their piss up their buttttssss for real! I know these people…and they all think they are right and that the mainstream cannot see the light of truth that they see.
⭐️
Our society is full of conspiracies because people in power tend to plan on ways to make themselves more powerful even at the expense of others. Junk food companies create commercials that will attract people into buying their product knowing the product will not have a positive influence on society.
🥤
Any popular conspiracy theory you hear might be true, but in order to validate it as true you have to find a large amount of evidence to back it, or else you have just been the victim of propaganda by a crazy or bad intentioned person.

I think the biggest conspiracy theory is corporatism and what it has done to our society especially young people. Natalia and I are starting to have retreats, friends and family visit our farm life out here. It’s been a wild experience seeing how mind blown people are when they see the plants, bugs, birds around us and the lifestyle we live connected to the wild. Humans are animals. 100 years ago and beyond almost every human had a deep connection to nature, how it works, and how we can manipulate it to survive like growing high quality food. Now these concepts are the most interesting and crazy things to people who have lost the connection. Corporate influence has turned humans into bots no longer animals. Imagine if every living person lost the connection and knowledge of nature. We couldn't even feed ourselves.

🌈I ran 32 miles with 4,500 feet of elevation gain yesterday though the jungle mountains because overcoming physical obstacles puts me in tune with my animalistic self which brings me lot’s of joy and confidence. New vlog is up of the day.
🤘🤘🐒🏃‍♂️
Living purely in the material civilized world of work, internet, cars makes me depressed. I think it causes problems for most people which is why I throw in a 8 hour day of running on my feet in nature once in a while. For my mental health even more than physical.
🦚
Yesterday went perfect I am actually really surprised. I’m an ultra runner now which is pretty cool, I have surpassed the marathon. No blisters, rashes, injuries, just some tiredness and soreness this morning which is a testament to my lifestyle, training, diet and yoga practice. I fueled myself on only healthy foods during the run. Dried and fresh bananas, pineapple, sea salt, coconut water, nuts. That’s it.
🍍🍌🥥🍊🥭🍋
My favorite parts of the day were getting super high on endorphins, thinking about the people I love most and inspire me, seeing cool wild animals, soaking and drinking out of rivers, passing many coffee farms, and building massive amounts of confidence. I wonder what percent of the human population has ever run more than a marathon? Maybe 1 in 100,000 people? 1 in a million? What do you think?
🤩
Long distance running puts my life into perspective, brings out gratitude and makes me feel strong with a knowing that I can accomplish anything I am determined to do in life.
🤙
I walked a lot of the final 10 miles so there is more training to be done and improvement. In 4ish months I’ll go for a 50 miler. Never stop growing even when things get even more uncomfortable. Uncomfortableness is a just a sign of growth. It’s good.

🏃‍♂️I’m in the best shape of my life…

🏃‍♂️I’m in the best shape of my life…which is good considering I’m attempting my longest run of all time tomorrow. I’m going for a 50k (31 miles) with 5 or 6,000 feet of elevation gain.
🏔☀️🪐
I’m the fittest I’ve ever been mentally and physically because I’ve strangled any excuses out of my life by acquiring responsibilities. I have hundreds of plants and fruit trees on our land, I have an amazing fiancé, we’re launching a retreat and cabin rental business, and I’ve been living clear and sober in order to excel at all these pursuits.

Next month will be my 9th year vegan. Let’s see how I hard I crush this 50k, then I’m getting tatted 2 days later. Long week of recovery up ahead.
