Everything is moving forward at the Heart of AN, whether or not, we feel ready. It’s been wonderful having Sebastian and Keenuane here with us. They have been a great help, especially when we were so worn out. Sebastian, Emanaku and Manzana have had periods of transformational sickness, I’ve had times when I’ve been totally flattened and without energy. But although my ankle isn’t fully healed, I’m walking better and can finally wear shoes! All the while, Keenuane has been strongly holding the Beam.
German and his crew returned last week and began building a small octagon on the Tower of AN land. This octagon wasn’t even on our list of projects! It suddenly appeared to us and we leapt into action. Once finished, it will not only be beautiful, but will give us a place to sit which is protected from the sun and rain.
Next week, they will make the river rock paths on the left side of the Tower and we will be done with projects until we begin our vegetable garden. As soon as the river rock paths are complete, Pedro will finish planting the grass for our upcoming Alpacas of AN.
Sebastian departed yesterday and is already in Germany. Fortunately, Keenuane will be here with us until the middle of January. Right now, there is much to do. Emanaku is finishing the video of last May’s Activation and it will be online in a few days. Keenuane and I are working on the floor design for the octagon which has to be ready tomorrow morning. And of course, there’s the November Surf Report to write!
On Friday, two guests from New Zealand arrive, followed by three more guests who will be here until November 20th. A busy month is ahead of us! We are relieved that we are finally recovering from the challenges of the past few months. And next week. we should have the dates of our next Special Events at the Heart of AN in May 2018.
With HUGE LOVE to our Family of AN!

New grass is starting to grow in the bare areas on the left of the Tower of AN and soon it will be full. The energies already feel amazing!

We enjoyed several meals at our favorite restaurant Kampu in Urubamba. The food there is not only delicious, but has a magical healing quality.

Pedro requested that we take photos of him in his trajes (traditional clothes). Here’s Keenuane at work!
-
-
Pedro is a very sweet man with integrity. We are very fortunate to have him here with us at the Heart of AN.

Pedro’s son, the adorable Alexander, loves living here too.

Pedro loves this land, especially the Tower of AN and AN•Chakana.

If you look carefully at the tree in the center of this photo, you will see our first two oranges!

Manzana really LOVES Sebastian! He is the only one that she sits this way for.

The new grass in the center of the Tower of AN was finally ready to cut. Afterwards, Sebastian and Pedro cleaned the stone circles with broom and rake.
-
-
Alexander also helped to clean up the newly cut grass.

Emanaku and German lay out the foundation of the new octagon.
-
-
It’s going up quickly! The subfloor and beams are already in position.
-

Alexander likes to help with a variety of projects.

Last Saturday, we tried out the new octagon, which still needs a name. There are going to be built in seats where the bench currently is.
-
-
The octagon will give us a dry place to sit when it is raining, as well as shelter from the strong Andean sun. Plus, it’s a good place for musicians to play during a ceremony.
-
-
Keenuane and I are still designing the floor of the new octagon.
-
-
We had originally planned to make a simple floor with ninety large pastillero, clay tiles. But right now, everyone is out of them, and we only have forty tiles here. This means that we need to come up with an Off the Map, creative solution for the places where we don’t have enough tiles.

On Friday, Sebastian, Keenuane and I made a marathon trip to Cuzco to buy building supplies. We had an impossibly long shopping list, but somehow managed to get most of it. It was my first trip to Cuzco since spraining my ankle at the end of August.

After visiting around eight electricity stores, we finally found the specific cable we were looking for.

In the late afternoon, the three of us were totally exhausted, but there was still more to do. This is when the rainbow appeared right in front of us, behind the huge condor statue. Our energy returned and we knew that we could complete our final tasks.

After searching several stores, we FINALLY found the plastic for the roof of our new octagon! Sebastian, along with many helpers who spontaneously appeared, tied it securely to the roof of La Perla in the pouring rain. Now at 5:30 in the afternoon, we could finally return home!

Here’s Sebastian bringing our lliclias to the Tower of AN so we can sit on them as Silent Watchers.

Manzana is definitely the Guardian of the Tower of AN.

The exquisite Tower of Light of AN! So strong. So sweet.

Manzana loves to take turns visiting all of us when we are Silent Watchers.
-
-
Everytime we sat as Silent Watchers, the circles would begin to rotate in alternate directions. It felt like we were the pins that unlocked the cylinders of a complex lock that encompasses all the Worlds within Worlds. This is when the energies of the Timeless True Worlds would pour in.

This is a photo I took when the Tower of AN began to spin.

Manzana carefully observes all that is happening here while in a beam of light.

At night, these amazing shadows appear on the wall beside our house.

Emanaku, Sebastian and Manzana have been sick during the past week. (Transformational illnesses.) Here Manzana is resting and healing in front of our large Buddha.
-
-
On Sunday, we went to the Chinchero Market. Here, Emanaku recorded some music from Jesús for our almost finished video of May’s Activation of the Tower of Light of AN.
-
-
We dearly love the people of Chinchero and I received much love and compassion for my ankle.

After a fond farewell, Sebastian departed for the Cuzco Airport and is already in Germany.
