Yesterday, after several delays beyond our control, we finally made the last payment on our exquisite AN•Sonqo Sanctuary land! What almost seemed impossible last June was accomplished with the help of our beloved Family of AN (YOU!). And it feels perfect that it was done with your help, rather than just by us. This special sacred land now carries the love and support of so many, from all over the world. And it feels absolutely right that your energy is here too.
Last week, we also had another breakthrough, which was the launch of the AN•Mercado which carries not only my Cards of AN, but some incredible treasures from Peru which all anchor the energy of the New Reality. You can visit the AN•Mercado here: http://an-mercado.nvisible.com/
We’ve also set the dates for our Special Events in May! There will be a deeply transformational Cards of AN Master Class from May 12 – 16. This will be followed by the Activation of the Tower of Light of AN from May 18 -23.
We have been wanting so much to activate a Tower of Light here since we first created the Heart of AN, but knew that the only right place to do it was on the adjoining land which we didn’t yet own. Now that this land is finally part of the Heart of AN, we are very excited about the upcoming Activation. We know that having a powerful, fully activated Tower of Light of AN here will greatly expand the energies of the New Reality so they can be more strongly felt all over the world.
Information on our May Events is here: anvisible.com/events/
The registration forms will be online in a week or so.
We really hope that many of you will participate and are offering a special discount if you want to come to both events.
We have been going so full on here that now both of us are beyond exhausted. Our bank accounts are almost empty and we still have much to do. But we remain deeply grateful to be here and are constantly in awe of the amazing energies at the Heart of AN.

Leo’s latest trick is to climb the tree on the left and then jump from there onto the roof of our house. He refuses to go back down the tree, so he waits on the roof until we finally let him in the upstairs balcony door.

It took days for the old owners of our new land to cut and remove their trees. Lots of chainsaw noise while I was trying to write the February Surf Report.
-
-
Our small village half a kilometer down the road had its annual fiesta during the first five days of February.
-
-
Once again, I wasn’t able to go since I was writing the Surf Report, but this year, Emanáku finally went!
-
-
The fiesta is dedicated to La Virgen Purificada de Huaran who lives in the small chapel at the old hacienda. During the fiesta, she comes outside and visits the people. There are many days of dances honoring her, outside the chapel.
-
-
There were several local dance groups who participated in the fiesta.
-
-
Here’s a dance group of girls with lots and lots of tiny braids!
-
-
These guys dressed like scarecrows and carried many gourds hanging from their waist. The guy in the trenchcoat and old man mask on the right was their dance leader.
-
-
Here’s Tanya from the hostal Casita Huaran down the road from us. Her large family had their own dance group.
-
-
The costumes of the dancers were beautifully embellished with beads, sequins, ribbons and embroidery!
-
-
Next year, I’m definitely going to the fiesta!
-
-
These girls were dressed as Inca princesses (Nustas) and are wearing the colors of AN! Too bad that everyone doesn’t dress this way everyday.
-
-
Each group looked so colorful and amazing! <3 On the side of the plaza they sold chicken dinners and beer.
-
-
Many of the dancers wear masks, often with blue eyes which look so strange.
-
-
Here are the Borrachos ~ one of the most popular dance groups, who love spraying their large bottles of beer into the crowd.
-
-
Early last Saturday morning, Emanaku and Manzana went to the river across the road where workers had arrived to finish the protective wall against flooding when the river is high.
-
-
Here’s the small river across the road with a makeshift bridge that is much used by the locals. It’s a very special place.
-
-
Eloy and his brother Elvis joined with two guys from the electric company to help move large stones in the riverbed to protect the riverbanks after lots of rain. (Which hasn’t happened this year.)
-
-
The new stone wall is complete! A very tired Eloy surveys the river. The tower of AN•Wasi is in the background.

Yesterday, February 6th, we finally made our last payment for the sacred AN•Sonqo Sanctuary land!
When we arrived at the Notaria’s office in Calca to sign the papers, suddenly a religious procession with dancers and a band came by. It felt both festive and auspicious.
Our car, La Perla, on the left enjoyed the procession too.
-
-
There was even a well decorated moto taxi festooned with a poncho, balloons and a large speaker playing loud music.
-
-
Here are some of the colorful dancers passing by the Notaria’s office where I waited for everyone to arrive to sign the papers.
-
-
FINALLY! The final payment is presented to sweet Señor Felipe and his children.
-
-
It was a long, long process to buy this land, but we finally did it. We couldn’t have done it without the support so many of our beloved Family of AN. Thank you so, so much! PA’A!!! Well done!
Yay!!! Congratulations, Solara!!!
