The Story Behind Lian House

Quiet Place in the Mountains of Costa Rica

Lian House is located in a small, non-touristic village in the mountains of Costa Rica, far away from noise, hotels, and crowded places. It is a peaceful private farm surrounded by nature, where life moves at a slower and more natural rhythm. 

At the heart of this place stands a small wooden cabin built many years ago by a local elderly man — not as a retreat center or business project, but simply as a home to live in. Because of that, the place has kept its authentic character, simplicity, and warm atmosphere that cannot be artificially created. The creaking wood, mountain views, cool mornings, sounds of nature, and quiet evenings create a space where it becomes easy to truly slow down and rest.

Around the house there is a small farm, a garden, and many unique plants from different parts of the world that I have collected and cared for over the years through my passion for ethnobotany and nature. Sheep, German Shepherd dogs, and chickens also live here, and contact with animals and everyday farm life is a natural part of the experience.

My journey into this world began almost 25 years ago. At first, it was simply a fascination with cultivation, microbiology, and observing nature. Over time, years of experience and practice naturally led me to a place where today I can calmly and responsibly support other people through their own personal experiences.

I guide the process together with my close friend, who complements the experience through bodywork, massage, and breathwork practices. Together, we focus not only on creating a peaceful atmosphere, but also on providing physical comfort and an individual approach for each person.

We are not connected to any religion, ideology, or spiritual movement. We do not impose beliefs, direct experiences, or perform theatrical rituals or ceremonies. Our intention is simply to create a calm, neutral, and safe environment where people can slow down, breathe, reconnect with nature, and feel comfortable being themselves.
