Pure Life | Barú is a brand that believes in the power of personal development and service to others. With a vision to build independence through culture and adventure, they offer a unique wilderness adventure therapy program in Costa Rica. Their program focuses on individual and group therapy, led by licensed and experienced therapists who understand the unique challenges faced by their students.

Through weekly individual therapy sessions and group sessions, students and staff work together to confront and overcome issues with understanding, support, and honest feedback. Therapists also work with parents to keep them involved and provide coaching. Pure Life uses a strengths-based, integrated clinical model to teach students new coping strategies, behavioral and emotional regulation, leadership skills, and life skills that lead to future success.

They also emphasize personal and career development, relationship building, and goal setting through their life skills curriculum. With a holistic approach to therapy and wellness, Pure Life prioritizes healthy eating, exercise, good sleeping habits, mindfulness, and meditation. Students learn to cook meals using locally grown, organic produce, and participate in structured exercise and wellness activities such as yoga, fitness classes, and daily meditation and mindfulness practices.

The founder of Pure Life, Andrew Taylor, was inspired by the beauty of Costa Rica and the kindness of its people. The program incorporates adventure therapy with cultural immersion, embracing the values of Costa Rican culture known as Pura Vida - simplicity, finding joy in small things, resourcefulness, and spending time with loved ones. Pure Life Adventure aims to help students flourish and thrive by providing the foundation for a meaningful and purposeful life.
