Leaping Into Action at the Heart of AN!
Last Wednesday, we leapt into action, preparing AN•Wasi for our guests from Germany who were here for three nights. Mirko and Vero were super nice and we greatly enjoyed having them here.
German, his son Victor and Andres arrived and began building the roof to protect the AN•Chakana. Emanaku and I went to Cuzco and bought two huge rolls of plastic roofing. Work began on the inner AN circle for the labyrinth. This meant that Emanaku and I had to finish creating the tile design that would go there. And of course, I had to write the April Surf Report.
It was all very exciting to see such progress being made. Exciting and a bit challenging because Emanaku and I are both totally exhausted. We have way too many things to do. In the midst of everything, our chain saw broke and is now being repaired.
Today we put the glass tiles in the inner AN circle of the labyrinth and they look so beautiful. Tomorrow, the solid glass blocks will go into the AN circle and it will look even better. We can’t wait to try out the labyrinth!
The wooden poles for the AN• Chakana are being lacquered. In a few days, the transparent plastic roofing will go on. We’ve all been so busy that we haven’t yet had time to repair the new leaks in the roof of our house caused by last week’s storm. But we will try to do it next week.
We still have a few spaces available for our Readers of the Cards of AN Master Class from May 12 -16. We have an amazing group of people coming, half of which are coming for the first time, while the other half are participating in their second class because they loved it so much! We would love to fill up the remaining spaces in this remarkable class.
Everything we do here makes it feel better and better. The Heart of AN is such an amazing place where the energies of the New Reality are strongly felt. It is deeply fulfilling to be totally at home in our True Home.

- Last week we greatly enjoyed a three day visit from Mirko and Vero of Germany. Mirko is the son of one of Emanaku’s best friends. And of course, we had to have a delicious meal together complete with the BEST chica morada at El Huacatay in Urubamba! They really loved staying at AN•Wasi! Everyone who stays there says they have really deep, replenishing sleeps.
-
- Later that evening, we all sat outside AN•Wasi in front of the cozy fire that Eloy made in our ceramic fire pot. Then Eloy and Juana showed us some of the beautiful textiles they had made.
-
- Here are the eight posts which will hold up the roof over the AN•Chakana.
-
- A makeshift scaffolding was added to the eight pillars around the AN•Chakana. From here, the roof poles were able to be put into position.
-
- In Cuzco last week, we had to buy two huge roles of plastic roofing. Five guys began rolling up the very bulky, 11 meter plus long, doubled layered, plastic roof.
-
- At the peak of this lengthy process, it became quite comical as there were eight guys having lots of fun preparing our plastic roll for transport. Next we had to rent a truck to bring it home!
-
- Here’s our new super gigantic roll of plastic roofing!
-
- Work begins on the inner AN circle in the middle of our labyrinth with German, Andres, Victor and Eloy. It’s so exciting to see our labyrinth come alive!
-
- A wire grid is created in the middle of the AN circle in the center of the labyrinth.
-
- The AN•Chakana roof is looking very sweet. We still haven’t decided whether we are going to put green or golden yellow plastic in the center of the roof, so we bought samples of each.
-
- Oh how sweet! It looks like Luna and Cachorro are finally becoming friends….
-
- NOPE!! This is what happens when poor Cachorro comes too close!
-
- Here’s the labyrinth yesterday afternoon. There are new cement diamonds at the two entrances to the labyrinth ~ one in the exact North and one in the exact South. The diamonds are where we can align ourselves until we are ready to enter the labyrinth.
-
- Yesterday, all the wood in the roof for the AN•Chakana received its first coat of lacquer.
-
- They also put styrofoam blocks inside the cement of the AN circle to hold the position for our twenty-two glass blocks.
-
- The inner circle has a Sun – Moon of AN which will be made out of solid glass blocks from the Czech Republic which we luckily found in Cuzco.
-
- Today, Victor and German smooth out the cement on the top of the inner AN circle.
-
- Emanaku and I placed glass tiles in the two diamonds of North and South.
-
- Next, we put tiles in the inner AN Circle. Glass blocks will fill up the squares tomorrow. There are twenty-two glass (11:11) blocks outlining the AN circle.
