Gaiasana
Puriscal,
Costa Rica
 Gaiasana is designed as a halfway house between a present day big business/fossil energy way of life and a perfect way of life on Earth for humankind. It aims at community self-sufficiency, reconstruction of the forest and features respect for each other and our ambiance. Gaiasana will be in Costa Rica's middle elevations in its humid tropics.
