The countdown to Costa Rica has begun. In just a few days, we’ll set out on a journey through Costa Rica’s living landscapes—where every run is shaped by the terrain beneath our feet and the ecosystems that thrive around us.

We’ll move through the mist and shifting light of the Monteverde Cloud Forest, where ancient trees and hanging bridges blur the line between earth and sky. We’ll trace volcanic trails and coffee plantations in the highlands, where the land has been shaped by both fire and tradition. Then, as we near the coast, the dense tropical rainforest will pull us toward the rhythm of the Caribbean, where the journey meets the sea.

This isn’t just a route—it’s an experience in movement, immersion, and connection!

BEYOND RUNNING PODCAST
Episode 42: “Moving with Intention: The Zen of Running with Maxime Galpin”

In this episode of Beyond Running, Mau Díaz () sits down with Maxime Galpin ( .gan_ ), a runner, meditator, and guide for Aire Libre’s French Pyrenees experience. Maxime shares his journey of blending movement with mindfulness through Zen and Run, a practice that transforms running into a meditative experience, deepening one’s connection with both self and nature.

Their conversation begins with the magic of the French Pyrenees retreat, where Maxime leads runners through breathtaking landscapes while fostering a strong sense of presence and community. Together, they explore how running can be more than just a physical pursuit—it can be a path to healing, awareness, and inner exploration.

Maxime reflects on how mindfulness has reshaped his approach to movement, turning each step into an act of grounding and connection. He and Mau discuss the power of slowing down—both in running and in life—and how being fully present can make movement more fulfilling. Whether you’re an experienced runner or seeking a deeper connection to the sport, this episode offers insights into running as a gateway to self-awareness, balance, and joy.

The Gran Bosque de Agua (Great Water Forest) is an expansive ecological corridor that stretches across 250,000 hectares, shared by Mexico City, the State of Mexico, and Morelos. This region is a key provider of water for the area, with its ecosystems supporting the infiltration of water into aquifers that supply 70% of Mexico City’s water, as well as the water for Cuernavaca and Toluca. The forest’s biodiversity, including wetlands and forests, acts as a natural filtration system, ensuring that clean water flows to millions of people.

On Day 3 of our Mexico City & Surroundings Running Getaway, we will venture into the heart of this crucial landscape. As we run through its trails, we’ll take time to reflect on the profound connection between natural spaces and our water resources. This experience invites us to consider the importance of preserving such ecosystems—not just for their beauty and tranquility, but for their indispensable role in water preservation, which sustains both urban and rural communities. It’s a day to connect deeply with nature, reflect on environmental stewardship, and appreciate the silent but powerful role forests like the Gran Bosque de Agua play in our everyday lives.

Antti Laitinen’s art reshapes our understanding of coexistence with nature by manipulating the very materials of the Earth. His sculptures disassemble trees into their fundamental components, while his photographs distort the reality of wooded environments, blurring the lines between nature and artifice.

Through performances that probe human interaction with the natural world, Laitinen creates a poignant visual commentary on the relationship between humanity and the planet. His work reflects a strained coexistence—one where we frequently forget our inextricable link to the Earth, reminding us of the delicate balance we often overlook.
