In partnership with Liliana Nú?ez Ugalde LANU and a team of dedicated Chief Well-Being Officers (CWOs), we have embarked on a groundbreaking expedition to the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica. This journey is not merely a passage through one of the world's renowned Blue Zones but a collaborative exploration into the depths of longevity and happiness. Our collective mission is to uncover and integrate the secrets of Nicoya's enduring health and well-being into our lives, guided by the harmonious interplay of the five elemental forces: water, fire, earth, air, and ether.

This co-creation brings together diverse perspectives and expertise, enriching the expedition with a wide range of insights and strategies aimed at enhancing our collective and individual well-being. By drawing on the collective wisdom of our team and the lessons learned from the Nicoyan way of life, we aim to foster a transformative experience that transcends the boundaries of our expedition.

We are committed to creating an ecosystem where mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being are at the forefront. This collaborative effort ensures that our expedition is not just a journey of physical discovery but also a transformative experience that enriches every aspect of our lives.

This expedition is a testament to our belief that the keys to a longer, happier life lie not only in physical health but in the richness of our connections, the positivity of our outlook, and the naturalness of our movements. Our co-created journey to Nicoya is more than an exploration; it's an opportunity to live the principles of longevity and happiness, inspiring a lasting impact on our well-being and the communities we serve.
