Beginning in January, we have turned our attention this year to doing lots of needed maintenance. Buildings and walls have been repainted. New grass for the alpacas was planted throughout the land. Our old stage / storage area next to the AN•Labyrinth was torn down in preparation for building a beautiful, new casita for guests and volunteers. There was a strong feeling that we were preparing for something powerful ~ although we had no idea what we were preparing for.
At the end of February, we began an online Master Class of the Cards of AN. This was so deeply transforming and fun, with a brilliant group of people from North America and Europe whom we now dearly love. Doing this class was a great joy in such uncertain times.
On March 9th, we felt a sense of urgency to immediately go to Cuzco on a shopping trip where we stocked up on needed items for the animals and us. Cuzco was normal that day; everything was quiet and calm. A few days later, our sweet Tulipan died during the night, for no apparent cause. She had been her normal energetic, happy self the day before.
The next night, the world as we knew it, was drastically altered. The President of Peru announced that the country was going to be placed under a strict quarantine. All borders were closed. There was no more travel between cities. The Post Office was closed. All restaurants and non essential businesses were closed. All public transportation has stopped. Since then, only one person per family is allowed to go out in the morning ~ to buy food, medicine or go to the bank. For the first few days, we were allowed to drive our cars, then that was no longer permitted, so La Perla sits here idle, as if on an unexpected vacation.
Ironically, the first morning of the quarantine was the day that German and his crew were going to begin building our new guesthouse ~ but that project has been postponed for now. We have no idea how long this quarantine will last.
We are very grateful to be at the Heart of AN, surrounded by the exquisite beauty of nature, and immersed into the New Reality. We have our vegetable garden, although half of it had just been replanted, so it’s not full. Some of our neighbors have organized weekly deliveries of organic veggies, which is a great help.
We are doing well ~ deeply quiet, while dealing with a multitude of people from an expanded energetic distance. We are also working intensely with all the Worlds within Worlds, realigning them back to their Original True Blueprint.
Anchoring the New Reality and embracing you all with Pure True Love!

Anchoring the New Reality has never been more important than now. But first, we have to anchor it within ourselves. ❤️
-
-
We’ve been doing lots of needed maintenance here for the past few months. All the buildings and many walls were repainted and we finally put up the lotus rain chain that we got years ago! ❤️
-
-
The rain chain works brilliantly keeping the rain from splashing everywhere. ❤️
-
-
During the second half of February, German and his crew tore down our old stage / storage area near the AN•Labyrinth in preparation for building a new casita for guests and volunteers. ❤️
-
-
They also built a new ramada to store building supplies. ❤️
-
-
Eusebio and Percy replanted grass for the alpacas throughout the land. ❤️
-
-
Eusebio and Percy also put new coats of wood preservative on our exposed wood at Kusi•Wasi. ❤️
-
-
A truckload of adobes arrived for our new casita. ❤️
-
-
The adobes were neatly stacked by the side of Pedro’s house. ❤️
-
-
The site of our future guesthouse! ❤️
-
-
The old plaster was removed from the land. Then on the very day that we were going to start building the guesthouse, the quarantine began and everything came to a complete stop…. ❤️

Manzana in one of her favorite positions on top of the AN•Chakana. ❤️
-
-
We love this special area where we do mudras. It’s all been replanted with special grass for the alpacas. ❤️
-
-
Waterfalls and Buddha ❤️
-
-
The beautiful Nima! (If you look closely, you might also see Manzana.) ❤️
-
-
We sold our beautiful Celestial Barge bed from Bali to a local friend to create more space in our AN room. ❤️
-
-
It had to be totally disassembled so the pieces could be lowered from Emanaku’s office window. ❤️
-
-
There goes the Celestial Barge! It was a very special piece of furniture which I bought years ago on Kauai, but we didn’t have the right space for it here. ❤️
-
-
Now the AN room is much more airy and spacious! ❤️
-
-
Pedro brought us some amazing, and delicious, potatoes that his family had grown in Yanamayo. ❤️
-
-
On March 15, Peru”s President announced the beginning of a very strict quarantine and closed all the borders. Fortunately, this is where we get to spend our quarantine.
But unfortunately since all travel is prohibited, Pedro is unable to go home to spend time with the rest of his family. But his oldest and youngest sons, Percy and Alexander live here with us. ❤️
-
-
The nearby town of Urubamba is totally quiet and strangely empty during quarantine. Emanaku visited there three days after the quarantine began, but that afternoon, the government decreed that we are no longer able to use our cars, so this was his only visit in one month. ❤️
-
-
The food markets are open in the mornings, five days a week, but nearly everything else is closed. ❤️
-
-
Eusebio and Percy are very proud of the new potato patch that they’ve just created! And we are so grateful for it. ❤️
-
-
Planting our first potatoes! We’re planting just a few at a time, every few weeks. This should keep us, as well as Pedro and his family, well fed with delicious, Peruvian potatoes. ❤️
-
-
Our potato patch fits right in with the rest of the Heart of AN. Sacred Potatoes! Papa Willka! ❤️
-
-
No’e, Rit’i and Nima love exploring all over the land ~ even when it’s raining! ❤️
-
-
Pedro enclosed a wall of Alpaca•Wasi with carrizo bamboo to make their house warmer in winter. ❤️
-
-
New grass is already flourishing next to our vegetable garden. (The tiny green roof is the top of our solar dehydrator which needs a bit of work before we can use it.) ❤️

Sitting quietly on the AN CH’ASKA TIYANA ~ the Star Seats. This is a perfect place to do the MUDRA of RETURNING TO OUR ORIGINAL TRUE BLUEPRINT. ❤️
I am so happy to see how well you are doing, Solara and Emanaku, at the Heart of AN. Everything looks lush and beautiful. It is wonderful to see how Still it feels at Home! Vast expansive Love, Ongralea .. Still in harmonious Taiwan!
