7 Lessons From the Costa Rican Jungle

We’ve been living in an outside-inside house in the Costa Rican jungle since June. It’s been one of the most nourishing experiences of our lives, and also a wild ride. Ants have laid eggs in our recording equipment, howler monkeys visit the backyard, and the rain sometimes decides whether we leave the house at all. We started noticing how much nature has been teaching us. Our word for November is nourish, so for episode 40 we’re reflecting on the lessons the jungle has given us, & how they apply whether you live near a rainforest or not. A couple of key points we discuss: Presence: how monkeys pull us into the moment Holding space: meditating over the valley helps us put down what we’re carrying Connection: trees nourish each other underground & what we can learn from this  Abundance: nature is full of it! Surrender: what rainy season on a hill teaches you about plans Deep House Plants: how our social media series started with a song & a lot of curiosity The cycle of life: why nature can hold loss & new life in the same season, and what it shows us about our own hearts A Few Things to Reflect On: What is already nourishing you that you haven’t been paying attention to? What abundance is already around you, and how could you be more open to it? When did you last put your feet in the dirt?
