My name is Gerard “Gerry” Powell. I am a conscious entrepreneur who fell in love with the country and people of Costa Rica.

I am the founder and CEO of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Rythmia Life Advancement Center has achieved great popularity throughout the world as a high-level retreat and healing center. It has also become a wonderful place to work, and one of the larger employers in the Tamarindo area of Guanacaste.

“Over the past decade, I have become enamored with the people of Costa Rica. My success here is directly attributable to the kind, incredibly service-oriented and genuine people of Costa Rica. I don't have enough words to say about them, in short, they are simply amazing."

- Gerard "Gerry" Powell
