This was one of a few

1993 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90

This vehicle is VERY SPECIAL for the person that will GET the value of it and REALLY APPRECIATE it and get the MOST OUT OF IT in Costa Rica!!!

Under the hood features the Rover V8, which began life as the Buick 215.  Engine has 2 SU carbs making it VERY POWERFUL yet surprisingly a VERY ECONOMICAL.

The compact aluminum engine (Land Rover only made these for 3 years) is light at just 144 kg (318 lb), and capable of HIGH POWER OUTPUTS - the most powerful Buick version of this engine rated 149 kW (200 hp).

Additionally the front ARB custom bumper and light bar hides a SUPER WARN winch capable of GETTING YOU OUT OF ANY TROUBLE YOU CARE TO GET INTO in and around Costa Rica!!!

POWER STEERING and the close ratio 5 speed MANUAL transmission along with the high and low transfer case makes this car A BREEZE TO DRIVE.

AIR CONDITIONING.

The paint is original, the body is virtually flawless - NO rust and no Bondo or filler of any kind.  The interior is very clean and the upholstery is free of rips.

New plugs and wires, New oil, fluids and filters installed recently.

RTV and Marchamo:  All up to date in the past month.

My friend recently purchased the car with the intent of modifying it into an off road monster and quickly realized that it's true value is really as an original Land Rover Defender 90. 

KILOMETERS:  Less than 81,000!!!!!

PRICE:  $14,500
(similar cars have recently sold on ebay for $24,000 to $43,000!!!  I JUST looked up the Kelly Blue Book and that is OVER $28,000 on it and THAT's in the U.S. which means you KNOW this Land Rover is valued WAYYYYY higher in Costa Rica)

What is Virgin Coconut Oil and how is it Traditionally-made??

There has been an abundance of research in recent years in coconut oil producing countries looking at the various methods of producing "virgin coconut oil." What has been discovered is that the traditional wet-milling methods of producing coconut oil using very simple technology, much as has been used for thousands of years, actually produces a very high quality coconut oil. The most quantifiable characteristic that can be tested in a laboratory test is the amount of antioxidants in the coconut oil.

The traditional wet-milling method called "fermentation." "Fermentation" here is defined as the natural separation of the coconut oil from water using gravity. No machine or other substances are used in the extraction.

First, coconut milk is expressed from the freshly harvested coconuts by using the pure water that is present inside the coconuts. The coconut milk is then allowed to sit for approximately half a day. During this time, the heavier water separates from the oil by sinking to the bottom, while the lighter coconut solids float to the top (curds). In between the coconut solids and the water is a coconut oil that is completely unrefined. The oil is then slightly heated (less than boiling temperatures) for a short time (5 -15 minutes depending on air temperatures) to remove any remaining moisture and increase antioxidant levels, and then filtered. The result is coconut oil that retains the distinct scent and taste of coconuts. This is a traditional method of coconut oil extraction that has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It is a much more labor-intensive method of producing coconut oil, and cannot be replicated by machine through mass production.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


TESTIMONIES:
Here are some testimonies from people that have used our Coconut Oil:

Sharon - Grecia:  My husband has Alzheimer’s disease and every day I cook food using the coconut oil and he has become much more cognizant and less stressed.  It is amazing how well it is working.

Natalia - Sarchi:  I have been putting it into a spray bottle mixed with water and spraying my hair every morning.  My hair is much less frizzy and is

Beverly - Grecia:  I rub it into my skin all over my body, my face and neck look healthier and my wrinkles don’t look so bad.

Nancy - Atenas:  With daily consumption, my memory has improved.  I don’t walk into a room anymore not remembering what I went there for.

Jan - San Louis:  I have been adding it to my dog’s food and his skin is so much better and his fur is soft and shiny.

Vicki - Escazu:  I'm now using Coconut Oil for many things so I'm excited to find a decent priced Organic Cold-Pressed coconut oil! 

TOOTHPASTE:  My main thing is making my Toothpaste which is just Baking Soda, Therapeutic-Grade (ingestible) Essential Oils (I ONLY use doTerra) - Peppermint for flavor, Melaluca (aka Tea Tree) to help my gums & sometimes I add some Lemon & a few other things depending on what's going on in my mouth/gums plus the key ingredient is Coconut Oil!  On top of the fact it's WAYYY cheaper than store bought toothpaste - but this is actually good FOR you!! 
FACE CREAM:  It's the ONLY "face cream" I'm now using and it's AMAZING how the wrinkles are smoothing out.  Plus I'm using it on my whole bod!!  

ATHLETES FOOT:  I've just started using it on my feet with some Melaluca/Tea Tree and my Athletes Foot is FINALLY clearing up after YEARS (ahhhh all the bacteria we're exposed to living in the tropics!!).
BROWNIES:  Last week I used it instead of regular oil in my Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate Brownies!!  Everyone went CRAZY over them!!
SMOOTHIES:  I'm adding some in my Smoothies and that helps the taste pop more plus I know it's good for me!!!! 
THANX for making this available to us!!!

Jeane - Atenas:  My feet have never looked so good.  The heals of my feet were cracked and painful.  Just using the oil on my feet healed the cracks, and my feet look great now.  I will never stop using this oil.

Judith - Grecia:  I have severe Psoriasis and even though the oil hasn’t cured it, it has relieved the symptoms of scaly skin.  The skin is now soft and pink.  I need to use it every day or the symptoms come back.  What a relief this is.

SEEKING FARM MANAGER - Samadhi Conscious Living Center is Looking for Farm Manager or Couple in Alajuela, Costa Rica

Samadhi Conscious Living Center is looking for a farm manager or couple to be part of a new concept in education of Holistic and sustainable living practices. By September we will be fully operational: at the moment we’re in renovations of the houses and preparing the areas for the green house and organic gardens.

Samadhi Center is a unique project situated on 8 acres of pristine woodland just outside Alajuela five minutes from the airport and town. It is an oasis of quiet nature in the midst of the urban hustle and bustle. The owner recently inherited the property and is in the process of converting the property into an organic farm and Conscious Living Center which will play host to an array of workshops, presentations and seminars.

The main house is a 6 bedroom, old Spanish style home where all rooms face a beautiful interior garden. This home has already hosted various guests entering or leaving the country via the international airport who were interested in the center.

Those from outlying areas of the country have found Samadhi to be a welcome respite when having business in the city. The projected weekend seminars will offer overnights. Samadhi is smoke free, no drugs or alcohol permitted on the premises. The activities will focus on varied aspects of developing conscious living practices; alternative healing modalities, meditation, energy work, drumming, mask making, nutrition, sustainable living,  organic farming and more. Also within the projection is facilitating space for holistic practitioners such as massage therapists, acupuncturists, reike healers etc.

Samadhi is the perfect venue for said practitioners living outside the Central Valley wishing to augment their clientele list.

The smaller three bedroom Bodhi house on the property is presently in the process of total reconstruction and will be home to the farm manager and farm volunteers. 

The property has a three acre fruit orchard with a large variety of trees, some exotic species, two springs, walking trails, and an area designated for a 4 x 15 meter greenhouse next to several farming plots. The organic produce is designated to be marketed at two markets.  On Friday the Alajuela farmer’s market presently offers no organic produce. This booth will include educational materials in Spanish on sustainable living practices, organics and health related information helping in raising consciousness within the Costa Rican community.

On Saturdays a booth at the Aranjuez Organic Market in San Jose will feature organic produce and information about the Samadhi’s activities as well creating a network of information available about other centers and what they offer.

Requirements for the farm manager position are:
1. References
2. Experience in organic farming/sustainable living practices
3. Bilingual (a must)
4. Ability to manage Costa Rican workers as well as foreign volunteers
5. Non-smoker, doesn’t drink or do drugs
6. Calm and flexible personality
7. Willing to work with the owner to further develop the organic farming and sustainable living educational programs to be taught at the center
8. Willing to become an integral part in the formation of this project.


Job Description:
1. Manage Costa Rican farm workers and coordinate volunteers
2. Daily maintenance and operation of the farm
3. Coordination of produce to market Fridays & Saturdays. (This aspect of the job will probably begin towards end of year)
4. Help with the design and construction of the farm infrastructure.(vivero, farming the land, water catchment systems, etc)


Benefits:
1. Housing
2. Living in a rural setting yet close to Alajuela center and 25 minutes from San Jose. .
3. Salary (negotiable)
4. Becoming an integral part of a unique conscious/sustainable living project from its initial stages.
5. Freedom to exercise your creativity to its maximum
