In January of 2010, I went to the south pacific coast of Costa Rica for 3 monthes to work on an organic tropical farm called Finca Carolina. The 55 arce farm is the homebase for UTSI, The Uvita Tropical Studies Institute; a non profit dedicated to tropical conservation and education.

I took a workshop with Dona Isabella, a medicine woman from the local indigenous tribe, the Boruca, We used leaves, roots and tree bark to hand dye cotton yarn that would later be used for weaving fabric.
