โ We wrapped up our โConnect and Playโ Retreat Saturday and an incredible week it was!! So grateful to the gracious souls that trusted us enough to spend a week in paradise with us!!
โ
We surfed ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ& our guests all stood up ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ& impressed us! We practiced new yoga ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ poses, mediations, chants ๐๐ผ & breathing ๐ฌ exercises & learned so much about yoga theory! We ate 3 delicious ๐คค, ORGANIC ๐ plant-based meals daily & we all went to the farmerโs ๐จโ๐พ market as a group to collect our veggies for the week!! We also joined with community ๐ธ to play music ๐ถ at the market. We watched many sunsets ๐ and toasted lots of drinks ๐ป. We danced ๐๐ป our hearts โฅ๏ธ out at Ecstatic Dance to epic beats. We paddleboarded around Cabo Blanco Nature ๐ณ Reserve in crystal blue waters ๐. We hung out at Sunday Funday and enjoyed bonfires, fire ๐ฅ dancers & amazing vibes. We learned chef ๐จ๐ผโ๐ณ Russโ ways in the kitchen with a cooking ๐ชclass! We watched a breathtaking sunset from an Infiniti pool as we sipped wine ๐ท and our bonds strengthened. We watched monkeys ๐ต play & rode ATVs through jungles & waterfalls!
โ
And those were just the activities. We truly lived like locals. But whatโs more important is that we became a family. We created a tight-knit community of love ๐ & acceptance for the week. Each person had room to explore ๐, inquire, experiment ๐งช, eat new foods ๐ฅฅ, try on new ways of being... all free from judgement. All enveloped with love, support & encouragement. ๐ฅฐ and this is what stuck with people at the end of the week!!!
โ
Our next Ayahuasca retreat is May 4-11 in Cabuya.
โ
Psssstttt..... ๐คซ We have some SUPER exciting news ๐ to share and it involves a new house ๐ก where you can come stay on-site with us and retreat year round (โผ๏ธ) so stay tuned for full details. In the meantime, you can check out my website rimathejunglegirl.com/connectplay to get a sneak peak ๐ at the action!!

BIG thanks ๐ฅ to our photographer @mister.island for these epic photos. And to our incredible guests @jontea_ramos@mrtopsnek & Sylvia. And to the love ๐ of my life and my partner in crime @russ.magic - you truly are so special for putting up for my crazy ๐ ass.
The early morning commute...๐

I canโt believe weโre still less than halfway through this epic South African sure trip, sooooo many waves and adventures!
โข
And all this time in the water is certainly paying off, everyoneโs surf ability is going from strength to strength
โข
...even if my arms do feel like noodles right now ๐

The #Suntribe team in Costa Rica with the local vehicle of choice: a quad! ๐ช The best (and sometimes the only) way to get around here on mostly unpaved roads. People look like they've come straight from the set of Mad Max when you see them roaring along the dusty roads here: wearing skiing goggles and scarves over their mouths, riding standing up to avoid the bumps. Great fun! ๐

LCM Song Of The Day: โWavesโ - @jeremyloops
Our next LCM featured artist is Cape Town based singer-songwriter Jeremy Loops. The melodic and catchy โWavesโ is taken from his latest album โCritical As Waterโ released in March last year.
Jeremy is currently on tour and will be headlining at The O2 Brixton Academy on November 23rd.
Juxtaposing booming city rhythms with lilting folk, Jeremy Loops perfectly captures the duality of his South African life. The extremes aren't new to the singer, who by day travels to the furthest corners of Africa to battle deforestation through his organization, Greenpop, and by night resumes as raconteur for raucous fans around the world.
