We were extremely lucky to recently have some of our work featured on National Geographic. I was contacted by a journalist about a recent piece of work we had published in the scientificjournal, Endangered Species Research. It tells the tale of a Russian male humpback whale thatwe had seen here in February 2018 right in front of Monkey Mountain, fighting with othermales for access to a female from Alaska. How do we know where these whales are from andeven their sex? The underside of their tail flukes are unique, and you can identify individuals bytaking good quality photos of the…

Sayulita Community Oh Mexico.
September 18, 2023 Natalia Reca 0Comment

A land of vibrant colors, teeming traditions, and enthralling landscapes. A country that inhabits a special place in my heart—and the hearts of many more.

From the pristine beaches of the Riviera Maya to the majestic mountain range of the Sierra Madres to the lush jungles, arid deserts, and windswept canyons—what transpires out of the abundance is a new life breathed into me….

Sayulita Community The Gift of Sayulita
August 14, 2023 Natalia Reca 0Comment

Sayulita is the gift of presence. She is the hearth of the feminine. She whispers in the language of body, heart, and soul. I feel a belonging here. A life force energy. It pulses in her natural beauty, in the people and community, in her small, but mighty size. There are no big-box stores. There are only dirt roads and cobblestoned streets. Thick jungle, hidden beaches, and everyone has a name. From the vendors to the waiters, to the grocers and the music makers, they are always the same. What a treat to live somewhere so small, you can walk…
