Adventure/Huge Life Changes [update]

[Jade]

I'm going to be off the grid for a month taking a permaculture design course in Costa Rica. I'm super excited to learn how to live off the grid and discover if that is something I want to do in the tropics or elsewhere. I'll be away from my wife for three week and this is the longest we will haver been apart. So I'll see how that goes. She's gonna meet up with me in Costa Rica after I finish my three-week course and then we'll spend eight days living on the permaculture center. I'm hoping to find out whether or not my wife and I would like to live in a tropical off the grid environment. This trip will really be a great experience. Each day starts with yoga by the open rainforest, organic (veg) breakfast, farm-chores, three hours of lessons, jungle gourmet lunch, more class, more jungle gourmet, evening activities, and ending the day in jungle cabins.

The program includes:

~ 2 week, 72 hour Permaculture Design Course & Certificate**
~ Discussions in: Triple Bottom Line Business, Education Alternatives, Slow Food, Economics in Agriculture, Green Building, Alternative Energies, Community Development, Organic Gardening, Homesteading
~ Daily Yoga, Sea Kayaking, Mud Bathing & Snorkeling
~ 7 Day Field Practical: Apply what you learned during the first two weeks in Water Systems, Garden Projects, Green House Work, Field to the Plate Cooking, Herbal Medicine, Medicine Making, Herbal Body Care, Kitchen Remedies, Fermented Foods, Chocolate Making and more!

So I'm stoked!

I read your post aloud to my hubby while he gave me an extreme look of envy and disbelief. I hope you have a great time and when you return tell us all about how it went!!
