An Auspicious Beginning of October at the Heart of AN!
The past two weeks were super busy here as we caught up on mountains of work and prepared for October’s Conclave of the Family of AN.
In the midst of all this, we finally made time to get legally married! It had taken us many months to get all the paperwork together, since our wedding ceremony in May, but in the end, everything happened smoothly. We were married in a small village in the Sacred Valley and it was surprisingly touching and sweet. Again, there was no time for a honeymoon, but we did have a wedding lunch!
On Monday, our first two October guests arrived. Katja is our first visitor from the small Caribbean island of Curacao and Lili, who participated in the 11:11 Tenth Gate Activation in Chiapas, Mexico and our ‘A Mu’a Ceremony on Rapa Nui, is from Argentina. Two visitors from Ukraine arrive today and tomorrow begins our Cards of AN Master Class!
Today, one of our cactuses bloomed with the most exquisite white flower. The blossom only lasts for one day and appears once a year. What a great blessing for this very momentous, very transformational time of gathering together at the Heart of AN.
-
- Last week, there was a gorgeous double rainbow over our village.
-
- We bought some new flowers for the land which always brings such great joy! Eloy, Juana and I decide where to put them.
-
- Here’s the new home for some of our flower pots.
-
- On Thursday, October 6th, after months of getting our paperwork together, we finally had our legal marriage. (Our marriage ceremony was in May at the Heart of AN.) Here we are with our two witnesses: Gabriel and Tania.
-
- First we had to publicly state that we wanted to marry each other and weren’t being forced into it. (That part was easy!)
-
- Then Norca read us the long list of conditions for marriage, such as we have to live together and educate our children.
-
- Then we had to agree to all the list of conditions and say that we STILL wanted to marry each other.
-
- Next, we signed the marriage certificate. We want to give our deepest gratitude to Darity Wesley and Ken Sara Draim for helping me get all my certified, apostilled legal papers together. Without your huge help, we would still be waiting to get married.
-
- Tania and her husband Björn are our closest neighbors and have a small hostal across the street from us. She is Peruvian and Björn is from Germany. Tania was a wedding witness and Björn took the photos!
-
- Afterwards, we stopped by Urcos where we anchored a Tower of Light of AN last year. We were surprised to discover that a hatched roof was now being put on the previously roofless tower.
-
- This very sweet, semi hidden Inca site is now being repaired and renovated.
-
- We all enjoyed walking around the site.
-
- There are fields full of flowers beside it which gives everything a great sweetness and a strong AN energy.
-
- Waiting for El Huacatay to open for our post wedding lunch in Urubamba.
-
- Our wedding lunch was absolutely delicious. With Chicha Morada, of course!
-
- Monday night, we went to Urubamba with our newly arrived guests, Katja and Lili, to have dinner at Kampu. And we finally got to see Urubamba’s new fountain with its ever changing colored lights!
-
- The photos are blurry since we were driving by while they were taken, but the fountain is quite spectacular, especially for here.
-
- On Monday Lili arrived from Argentina, as well as Katja from Curacao. Here’s beautiful Lili, happy to finally be at the Heart of AN!
-
- Today our exquisite white cactus flower bloomed! They only bloom for one day per year, so we feel quite blessed. A beautiful beginning for our October Special Events which begin tomorrow!
