When Paulino Nájera was young, he played in his ancestral forest and ate fruits from the trees. By the time he was a teenager, loggers had razed trees and industrial agriculture had poisoned waters, forcing his family to beg for drinking water. Determined to restore their forest home, Paulino and his brothers planted more than 37,000 native trees by hand. Today, after more than four decades, the 63-hectare forest supports a wide variety of plants and animals, and eight natural springs flow pure once again.
An elder of the Térraba Brörán tribe, Paulino protects not only territory, but also indigenous traditions. At Rincón Ecológico Térraba in Costa Rica, Paulino and his family welcome visitors to connect with the land and learn about Brörán culture. They offer forest therapy, guided meditations and tours, workshops in indigenous art and plant medicine, homemade meals including forest fruits, and accommodation in cabins they built from local materials.

- Our gracious hosts and true heroes, Paulino and Fidelia

Storytellers: Don't miss this event!
Are you joining us at the Storytelling for Change Summit?
This will be an event like no other, with a stacked lineup of storytellers, knowledge keepers, poets and change makers from around the world joining us to spark our own inner wisdom at a 2-day immersive event.
What is the vision of the world we wish to see? And how does our storytelling become a vessel that takes us closer to that vision? How do we create a diverse and ethically literate storytelling future?
Join us to answer these questions, broaden our minds and share solutions that can invoke real change.
