MAY 2023 UPDATE
This month we had a wonderful event with Elizabeth Seaward. Elizabeth lead us to question our concept of happiness in order to build a more realistic understanding and open up the possibility to create a practical approach to its construction. The event was practical and introspective and helped us come up with a definition of what happiness means to each of us.
Some Thank Yous:
- Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing with us!
- Thank you to the Leadership Team who works very hard behind-the-scenes to make each of our events special and enjoyable for all!

PWNCR June In-Person Event:
Latest Marketing Trends
When: June 17, 2023
Time: 9:30 to 11:30 am
Where:
Tin Jo Restaurant
Speaker: Anabelle Durán
Marketing is such a broad subject, and during these changing times, Marketing experts have had to become “experts at everything”. As of late, Marketing experts are being forced into technology, data analysis, psychology, innovation, industrial design, you name it.
For entrepreneurs and small companies, there are some key learnings that can be transferred from alternative industries, such as grocery retail. In this session, Anabelle will be covering different topics about the Marketing strategy, and, above all, about the core of all businesses – the clients!
Some key take-aways you will be sure to incorporate into your own professional career:
- Not letting your career block your passion!
- Make your passion profitable!
- Don’t let the ROI (Return on Investment) kill your value proposition!
- Keep it simple!
- The customer IS your passion!

PWNCR Member Feature:
Katya De Luisa
Katya has resided in Costa Rica for 43 years. She is considered one of the early pioneers in this country’s development. Her horseback nature tour through Manuel Antonio National Park in 1980 was a forerunner in eco-tourism and she published the country’s first tourist maps. Katya also created a non-profit organization for street children which Patronato, Costa Rica’s child welfare, modeled for their programs.
In 2001 she returned to the USA for a few years. After developing a picture communication therapy for those with dementia, she partnered with the local Alzheimer’s Association and began caregiver training and seminars and presented at several international conferences on aging. This started her 22-year career as a dementia educator and caregiver advisor.
As a freelance writer, her articles focus on healthy aging, dementia issues, and raising self-awareness. Her published book, Journey through the Infinite Mind, the science and Spirituality of Dementia, is available in English and Spanish in hard copy as well as on Kindle. Click above to order your copy!
