Sacred Lands

Our HOME in Costa Rica

The Tinamaste Ridge

A Cloud Forest Sanctuary
The Tinamaste Ridge is a cloud forest sanctuary stretching for several miles north of Diamante Reserve, along the Tinamaste Mountain Ridgeline. Forming half of the watershed for the Diamante Falls, this remote wooded land holds the intention of becoming a tranquil sound - healing center covered with wind chimes and avocado orchards.

Diamante Verde
and the "Catedral de Piedra"

A Wilderness Ashram
The Diamante Verde Spiritual Sanctuary, home to the Catedral de Piedra and Diamante Falls, is one of the most powerful healing vortexes on the planet. Spanning the magnificent western slope of the Tinamaste Mountains with stunning views overlooking the coastal mountains and the Pacific Ocean 2500 feet below, it is an island in the sky where the healing waters of the Baru River are born.

The HOME Farm

In the center of our HOME Community in Costa Rica, deep in the fertile valley between the coastal mountains and the Tinamaste Mountains is the HOME Farm. This 50-acre parcel of land on the outskirts of the picturesque town of San Salvador is accessible by car and borders one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world: Baru Falls.

  The Escaleras Campus

A cottage industry campus
Less than a mile from the ocean in the foothills of the coastal mountains with one of the most stunning coastal views of all of Costa Rica, Escaleras holds the intention of being a campus for vocational training with community co-housing and a temple.

Global Network

Heaven on Mother Earth
This vision of a glabal HOME for the children of god-goddess God is not unique to the Art of Union or our HOME community, but is becoming a common vision held by awakening planetary beings all over the globe. Whether it is known by many names or one, we will all recognize Heaven on Mother Earth.

In the vision of recreating Heaven On Mother Earth (HOME), our HOME must become a global network of eco-villages, food forests, rainbow corridors, school of life campuses, mystery schools, ashrams, urban oasises, retreat centers, cottage industry complexes, and new energy deveopment facilities, etc. In order to support sustainable trade and equal exchange of goods and services, the HOME nodes will appear up and down the corridors of sacred land where family already lives and travels.

Harmonizing Intentions

Our HOME in Costa Rica already consists of over three hundred acres on four individual parcels spanning an eight mile corridor of land over two mountian ranges and several bio-regions. In the fullfillment of our vision of creating Heaven on Mother Earth (HOME) and the Rainbow Corridor, we will hopefully be purchasing additional thousands of acres within the next five years.

Within our HOME, we are creating myriad intentions for different sections of land.

• Conservation
• Food Forest
• Wilderness Spiritual Sanctuary
• Professional Healing Center
• Retreat Center
• Community Housing
• Private Housing
• Campus / School
• Permaculture Farms
• Bio-fuels Production Center

As we create the legal community structure of our HOME in Costa Rica, different types of trusts are being created for different land uses.

Conservation Land Trust
As we anticipate future development in the Chiripo Sector of Costa Rica, and work together to protect the most sacred and vital sections of land, we are creating a conservation trust to allow watersheds, old-growth forests and fragile lands to remain in their wild state.

The Art of Union, in co-creation with other sustainable communities of Costa Rica is proposing the vision of a Rainbow Corridor. The idea of the rainbow corridor has undoubtedly been floating through the akashic records for millennia, but it started germinating in the collective heartmind of the Costa Rican rainbow family during or after the 2002 international rainbow gathering in the cloud forest near Monte Verde.

A true "demonstration nation" Costa Rica has offered the world an example of natural conservation by creating protected parks and animal corridors in over 10 percent of the country. Within the designation of these protected land is a growing effort to establish wildlife corridors to allow unrestricted migration of various animals, such as the "path of the tapir", which aims to create a interconnected path along the southern pacific zone of Costa Rica. While the creation of protected areas is admirable, caution must be advised to preserve harmonious, rural Costa Rican ( Tico) lifestyles as well.

Welcome HOME
Heaven On Mother Earth (HOME) in Costa Rica is an expanding conscious "come-unity" offering a heart-centered environment supporting and celebrating our unified spiritual evolution, and our physical and mental well-being. Lovingly, we come together in selfless service to practice harmony within ourselves, among one another, and in our relationship with Mother Earth.

Our HOME is located in the Chirripo sector on the southwest coast of Costa Rica between the beach town of Dominical and San Isidro del General, a thriving agricultural city at the base of Mount Chirripo, the tallest mountain in Central America. Midway between the slopes of Mount Chirripo and the Pacific Ocean, an independent mountain range called Tinamaste rises up to create the watershed for the pristine Baru River. On its way to the sea, this sparkling clean water gushes down over 12 waterfalls including Costa Rica's tallest, the 600 foot Diamante Falls. The valley carved out by the Baru River is one of Costa Rica's most scenic areas with dramatic views of the ocean, and fertile farmlands.
