Buying the Land for the Heart of AN
Our Current Situation

On June 26th, 2013 we finally bought our beautiful land for the Heart of AN!!
Actually, we purchased two small pieces of adjoining property that add up to a total of 7,500 square meters or almost two acres. Although somewhat of a humble beginning for the Heart of AN, it was all that we could afford.
Our land is located in a small valley near the village of Huaran in the Sacred Valley of the Incas near Cusco, Peru. The photo above shows our stunning view of the sacred mountain Apu Sawasiray. Sawasiray means: TO SEW TOGETHER IN MARRIAGE in the Quechua language. Together with the nearby mountain of Apu Pitusiray: TO SEW TOGETHER IN UNION, the two sacred mountains form an eternal couple. Such perfect energies for the HEART OF AN which represents the sacred union of the Sun and Moon into One Being.
Our new land is sunny, quiet and gently sloping. On one side of the property is an acequia (irrigation canal) which has water year round. The opposite side of our land has frontage on a small dirt road. Across the road is a year round stream. This gives us the refreshing sound of running water on both sides of the property.
The land contains several circular depressions, some surrounded by handbuilt stone walls, which were used for growing crops. This is where we will put our buildings and some small gardens. We are very excited to finally have the place to anchor the energies of the Heart of AN.
