Monterey de Rivas, Costa Rica -
We are excited to announce the purchase of our first farm!
Located in the beautiful farm valley at the base of the tallest mountain in
Costa Rica, our 13 acre mountainside farm was once used for coffee production. The farm is only a 30 minute drive from
San Isidro del General, on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Let us first
make it clear that the farm is a healing center, and a place for self-discovery.
All
internships are first and foremost about the journey of the heart...next, they are about service. We believe that in
order to truly love others, we must learn to love ourselves.
Though we were supporting
2 orphans, they were recently adopted to a loving home. Our goal is to become sustainable before taking in any more orphans.
We are greatly enjoying the process of planting trees, organic gardens, and building
out of natural materials, such as mud, grass, and coffee sticks...
We have begun
to work with the children in the small public school, teaching English, the arts, and of course...love and surrender
to the Spirit. We also offer teaching experience in tutoring our little gringo kids here on the farm.
As with all of our projects, the hard work and dedication of the interns and volunteers, coupled
with the assistance of our financial supporters, is making the vision of The Revolution Project a reality in the material
plane.
The emphasis on the farm is on the journey of the heart and self-discovery.
We work together and live together as a community. Physical, emotional, and spiritual healing is constant.
Physical, emotional, and spiritual counseling is available on the farm to those who seek
it.
Managua, Nicaragua - We have recently begun visiting the
city dump of Managua, called La Chureca. Over 1000 people live there,70 to 80% are children. There are many organizations
currently working at La Chureca. We take small groups and produce arts workshops, and play with the kids at the school.
The experience at La Chureca is not for the faint of heart, and is certainly a life-changing experience.
The hard work and dedication of the interns and volunteers, coupled with the assistance of our financial supporters,
is making the vision of The Revolution Project a reality in the material plane.
Though
we have one base location, our campus is also spread throughout Costa Rica in the mountains, in small towns, in cities, in
orphanages, in waterfalls, on beaches, and in jungles.We believe that intentional living within a community is a powerful
aid in personal development. Difficult interactions with others are opportunities for personal growththrough the sharpening
process of conflict resolution. Furthermore, such interactions serve as barometers for our own development, and as we
overcome tests, we will be given new tests with greater degrees of difficulty. Life is a school, and school is never out.
Our current goal is to purchase lands to build larger and additional farms in Costa Rica, which will include orphanages.
These campuses will include living facilities, community buildings, studios for all forms of the arts, organic gardens and
orchards, schools, and a host of recreational activities. Our goal is to purchase thousands of acres of land, not so
that we can build an empire of property, but rather so we can return the lands to more natural states, and so that we can
create homes and work for Costa Ricans who,due to tourism, have been "priced out" of the ability to ever purchase
land in their home country.
