This time of quiet at the Heart of AN is serving us well. It doesn’t mean that we’re doing nothing ~ we still have way too much to do. But it’s helpful not to have much social interaction with people so we can concentrate on recalibrating and resetting everything ~ both inside and outside of ourselves. This is definitely happening and it feels absolutely right.
My new book with stories from my life is now 310 pages long. I might be halfway done. The words are still flying onto the page with ease and I’m really enjoying doing this. Emanaku is also working on his book with over 100 pages of concepts and ideas. On Wednesday, I start writing the August Surf Report and as soon as it’s done, will leap back into my book. My foot has totally healed and I’m deeply grateful to be able to walk with ease again.
On July 15th, Emanaku made another trip to Pedro’s village to rescue four more baby alpacas (crias) from this very cold winter. It’s good he did, because a week later there was another heavy snowfall in the high Andes in which five of Pedro’s crias died. Right now, we have ELEVEN Alpacas of AN here!
At the end of winter, we will have to return the six male crias, since it’s better to only have one male per herd. We will buy N’oe and tiny Chaska for sure, and perhaps the new female who just arrived ~ who doesn’t have a name yet.
The last Eclipse on July 27 was an extremely powerful one. It brought in some amazing energy which I will try to write about in the August Surf Report. I received strong glimpses of such a new, True Energy that is starting to come in, giving us a vastly expanded awareness. We are ready to receive it here and anchor it into the planet.

On July 15, Emanaku made another trip to the high Andean community of Yanamayo to pick up some more crias.
The moment he arrived, Pedro and Cecilia appeared with a herd of alpacas, but it wasn’t their herd! They were retrieving two of their alpacas who had decided to join someone else’s herd.
-
-
It is a completely different world up here with such a profound silence.
La Perla enjoys the quiet while parked in the vast expanse, while Emanaku and Pedro walked to Pedro’s herd.
-
-
In this area of the High Sierra, there are alpacas everywhere!
-
-
A Guardian Alpaca protectively surveys his realm!
-
-
A super cute brown alpaca. Each alpaca is so unique and irresistably adorable.
I really don’t know how I lived without alpacas before. They bring us so much joy!
-
-
Here is the long, zig zag road to Pedro’s small village of Yanamayo with its red roofs.
-
-
Each alpaca has such a strong personality and each one is so lovable.
-
-
As they walked to Pedro’s alpaca herd, a large eagle, (Anka in Quechua), flew overhead.
-
-
This area is far above the treeline. On top of the hill in the center is an apachita waka or shrine.
-
-
The air up there is very cold. In the center of Pedro and Emanaku is Pedro’s son Johan wearing his traditional clothes.
-
-
Johan at the apachita. Often apachitas are located at the top of high mountain passes. Each time you pass by, you are supposed to add a rock to the cairn.
-
-
This is a special moss that grows in the high altitudes. It is cut up into pieces and dried in the sun, much like peat moss, so it can be used as fuel for fires.
-
-
Cecilia uses a drop spindle to spin alpaca wool into yarn. She is an excellent weaver as well.
-
-
They finally encountered the alpaca herd of Pedro and Cecilia!
-
-
Four baby alpacas are loaded into La Perla to be rescued from the winter cold and snow.
-
-
One last goodbye to some of Pedro’s beautiful family.
-
-
Another carload of crias arrives at the Heart of AN. This time, there are four.
-
-
The bonding begins!
-
-
The alpacas soon got to know each other.
-
-
Manzana welcomes the new babies with a kiss.
-
-
The tiny Chaska looks lovingly at one of the new crias.
-
-
Tawa and Nima have a look like, “Oh no, more crias for us to look after!”
-
-
German and his son made the frame for the water basin for our vegetable garden at the beginning of last week. But since then, they haven’t returned. (Perhaps it’s because Peru is celebrating Fiestas Patrias, the Peruvian Independence Day.)
We are hoping they show up next week to get everything finished.
-
-
Cachorro’s new, favorite resting place near the main entrance to the land. He is in position like the King of the Mountain.
-
-
Alpaca herding is one of the sweetest things we do at the Heart of AN.
-
-
Our newly expanded herd of ELEVEN Alpacas of AN makes its way back to Alpaca•Wasi in the early evening.
-
-
Alpaca-Wasi is getting more full.
But there still might be enough room here for a few more!

On July 17, there were some quite incredible cloud formations that arose unexpectedly from behind our Apu.
Here are the beginning ones.
-
-
We’ve never seen clouds here like this before. And the rest of the sky was cloudless.
-
-
The clouds kept rapidly changing in an increasingly amazing display.
-
-
There were many cloud beings.
-
-
The clouds felt inspiring and auspicious. It was like a reassurance from another realm that ALL IS WELL.
-
-
These amazing clouds were only here for about fifteen minutes and then completely disappeared.
-
-
Many of the clouds were tinged with rainbow iridescence.
-
-
The clouds felt as if they came from a completely new realm. They were unlike anything we’ve seen before and filled us with absolute awe.
The God World’s are manifesting. Your collection of images reminded me of the one or two strange clouds I have seen here lately. Absolutely Awesome!!! Thank you so much. And Emanaku looked like a True Templar Knight…I had never noticed him look so grounded, real and Vast. I look forward to reading your memoirs. Muani : )
