Multitasker for the Common Good in Costa Rica´s Southern Caribbean

I am an entrepreneur producing Juju, a home made gingerale. It is not only a probiotic, healthy medicinal drink, but it's also a way to impact my community by buying and supporting local farmers. I was taught to make the original ginger ale or ginger beer that was created as a stomach medice for children.   I played around with the ingredients and decided to make it as healthy as possible, buying some ingredients from family owned farmers, being environmentally aware in the whole process even if it costs us more. The idea is to deliver a healthy bubblely drink, that children and adults would enjoy that it would have medicinal properties. And by that not only giving a healthy product to the people but also benefiting a community, and a way to make a living for my family of three children my husband and I.

i am also the president and scuba diver of an innovative social project in Costa Rica´s Southern Caribbean where I live. We are training youth and children to dive with a purpose: relate harmoniously with the ocean and appreciate its natural wealth and cultural treasures buried in the until stories in sunken ships by teaching community underwater archaeology. So far, since 2016, we have re-discovered and enhances the stories of at least three sunken ships in our coastal towns´ waters. 

I have also teach -certified teacher - a dance that has been declared a heritage dance.  https://youtu.be/vetbM7bTSmk                                                                                             

Dzogchen Teaching by Chogyal Namkhai Norbu, starting in  the 1970’s, holding the first courses and lectures on Dzogchen meditation, and the traditional Tibetan discipline of Yantra Yoga.

The figure and the teaching of Chogyal Namkhai Norbu inspired the formation of the International Dzogchen Community, of which the European headquarters, Merigar, was founded in 1981 in Italy. He travels and teaches Dzogchen to those who request it, continuing his activity of divulging this precious message of humanity and evolution.

I currently teach it in Costa Rica.
