The Warrior's Journey
An initiation to delve into the path towards inner freedom
November 4 - December 4 2021 | Malpais, Costa Rica
“Wisdom is not the result of having learned enough, but the realization that there is never enough learning” Erwin Raphael
The overview

 

The Warrior's Journey is a call to action for change, one that will allow you to embrace and understand - with more depth - the Anatomy of the Human Experience. It is a closer look at the bodies and the cycles that compose it, and how they ultimately relate and influence your life. Most importantly, it is composed of lessons that will lead you to become the co-creator of your own destiny. 

This program will transform the perception you currently have of yourself and the world around you. It will take you down a path of self-discovery and collective exploration that, if completed, will help you develop the tools required to break free from the limitations that are holding you back. A path to discover your infinite potential by realizing where your limits are not. 

This program is designed for you to become an active participant in the process of reconnecting with your essence: it is time to let go of the old and create space for the new. 

You will prepare the soil to plant a seed - the seed of Love -  within your being for a life driven by purpose.

Throughout the journey, you will experience many of the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. You will gather knowledge and, if you are willing and open, you will also receive the tools of wisdom so that you are never defenseless and powerless. 

It will allow you to remain connected to yourself, others and nature.

The heart of the warrior is not formed by what has been done and what can be done; the heart of the warrior is formed by what must be done

Your host

My name is Diego, 

I have realized that the best teacher we can possibly dream of is life itself. It’s always presenting us with the conditions that we require to catalyze growth: we just have to become aware of them. I am no exception, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to experience life to the fullest. I've embraced great challenges and I've learned to accept the painful moments. 

You know what they say: "What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger."

So, here I am. still developing the willingness, the discipline, and the persistence to make the best out of this life and to use every challenge as an opportunity for growth.

I am a student learning from this beautiful human experience.

I'm convinced that the main cause of evil in this world is human unconsciousness, and that the war to end all wars is the one we fight within our own hearts. If we were to become conscious human beings, we could very well experience heaven on earth. 

It is my life’s purpose to co-create the conditions for us “...to discover our inner freedom, as we collectively regenerate the way we live.” 

The only thing that is required is the courage to start.  

With love, 

Diego

The venue

 

You will be immersed in a 33 hectares untouched jungle sanctuary. Zūnya is hidden away from prying eyes in the town of Malpais, a secluded spot on the southern tip of the Peninsula of Nicoya, the region is one of only five blue zones in the world. Malpais prides itself on its amazing surf and for its decadent mix of unspoiled beaches, private coves, waterfalls, and dense rainforests. The town of Malpais is the perfect hideaway, for those looking to discover an authentic Costa Rica. 

Zūnya is a soon-to-be regenerative system, a 2.0 version of an ecovillage, using tools such as arts, science, technology, sustainability, and spirituality to enhance our way of living, as we reconnect with nature, ourselves and each other. You will join a collective of individuals from various backgrounds and origins in the process of co-creating a new way of life. Your visit is an invitation to join the family and embark on this journey.

This is the fight of your life. This is the fight for your life. This is the way of the warrior
