January was full of bursts of activity coupled with short periods of deep silence. We always have lots of practical tasks to do here and it feels really good to get some of them accomplished. There’s the sense of clicking into position which I really love.
One of our main focuses is on maintaining the very clean and true energy here and the New Reality still feels amazing and is stronger than ever. Now and then, a completely of new level of energy that we haven’t felt before, opens up and this is so exciting! Another strong focus here is to experience, feel and understand what is really going on ~ on this planet and beyond. Once we are able to do this, previously unseen area of the New Timeline become more clear.
In January, I actually got to go to Cuzco again. (I have only been around 3-4 times since last March.) Again, it struck me strongly how much life here has irrevocably changed. We also went to the touristic village of Pisac and were shocked to discover that about 85 – 90 % of the businesses there are still shut. It almost feels like a ghost town. We are trying to help as many artisans that we can by buying things from them for our online store ~ the AN•Mercado. But we can’t keep buying weavings and such unless someone buys them from us. The flow needs to be flowing!
We invite you to visit the AN•MERCADO at https://an-mercado.nvisible.com/ and perhaps you will find some special Hidden Treasures!

Early in the morning everything becomes very blue.

On January 5, there was a large Sunbow around the Sun.
-
-
We visited the village of Pisac and were shocked to discover that most businesses were still closed after ten months, with many of them out of business. This place was one of the few that were open.
-
-
The previously bustling Pisac felt almost like a ghost town. It was very sad.
-
-
We also visited a very sweet artisan couple in another town and bought some beautifully vibrant bags from them to sell on our AN•Mercado.

Emanáku went to Cuzco and while our car was being serviced, he decided to walk many miles to visit the large condor and several statues of the great Inka Pachacutec.
-
-
Here is the mid-size Pachacutec statue in Cuzco’s main plaza. The Great Inka Pachacutec is known as “He who overturns Time and Space”.

Beloved Cuzco as seen from the gorgeous Inka site of Sacsayhuaman. Currently, both masks and faceshields are required in the entire Region of Cuzco, but not in the rest of Peru. This is probably the only place in the world that mandates this, and this new requirement makes it very difficult to communicate or breathe at the altitude of 3,400 meters or 11,444 feet.

On the way home, there was a rainbow over the town of Calca in the Sacred Valley.
-
-
Another early morning infusion of blueness. This always reminds me of the Blue Mountains in Doris Lessing’s exquisite book, “The Marriage Between Zones 3, 4 and 5.”
-
-
Emanáku has been photographing the Star Trails in the night sky over the Heart of AN.
-
-
The Rio Cancha Cancha across the road from the Heart of AN has been flowing strongly due to all the rain.
-
-
Once again, it was time to buy another truckload of wood.
-
-
We have been experiencing a very wet rainy season, making everything green and lush.
-
-
Emanáku, Alexander and his brother Yojhan wave hello to the drone!
-
-
The Alpacas of AN help to anchor the New Reality of AN simply by being here.
-
-
We found a new veterinarian who actually has experience with alpacas!
-
-
All the mountains have turned green. This is on the route between Pisac and San Salvador.
-
-
The Vilcanota River (which is known as the Urubamba River further downstream) is getting quite high with all the rain.
I love all the movement in these rocks!
-
-
Emanáku took these photos near Huayllabamba, a few villages away from us. In the distance are Apu Sawasiray and Apu Pitusiray.
-
-
At the end of January, Emanaku and Pedro made a journey to Pedro’s high Andean community of Yanamayo.
-
-
They were on a mission to borrow a male alpaca from Pedro’s herd so he could get our three females pregnant.
-
-
Pedro heads into his herd to catch a male for us.
-
-
During the past year, Pedro and his family have built a small, but beautiful eco guest lodge on their land high up in the mountains. It’s almost finished and will be an astounding retreat place to stay in, with the amazing energies of the High Sierra and the mystical fog that sometimes rolls onto the mountains.
-
-
Aerial view of Pedro and Cecilia’s amazing guest house. If you look carefully, you will see our car parked on the road. From there, it’s a half an hour walk to the guest house.
-
-
Here is Pedro’s familiy house about a twenty minute walk further up the mountain from the guest house.
-
-
When you see the alpacas from on high, they almost look like a school of fish.
-
-
The Alpacas create amazing, undulating patterns.
-
-
Alpacas are amazing cosmic beings!
-
-
On their way down, they encountered a local woman in charge of directing the one way traffic while the road was being renovated.
