The past few weeks have zoomed by. It feels like it’s essential to remain ultra aware and to expect the Unexpected at all times. It also feels important to get as much accomplished as possible, as soon as possible, for there is something huge coming that we don’t yet see.
Because of this, we’ve been organizing a list of projects we’d like to do here. Our first priority is to complete the landscaping around the Tower of Light of AN, which will not only to make it more beautiful, but it will enhance and honor the energies. It also feels like we need to create an organic vegetable and herb garden before the end of the year.
We feel a sense of urgency to recalibrate the Tower of Light of AN by raising the inner five levels. At the same time, we will have all of the eleven river rock circles in it set into cement. This will keep the energy clearer, since the rocks are often knocked out of position by the dogs and water hoses. We hope to start this project in the middle of next week.
We have also put out the call to create a circle of support for the Heart of AN which feels very needed. Here’s a link if you want to read more: anvisible.com/the-support-ring-for-the-heart-of-an/
After the Tower of AN has been recalibrated, we will add some river rock paths and plant grass and red clover in the parts of the land which are currently bare dirt. Last week, we added new pink flower plants around the fencing. Once they grow up we will have walls of pink flowers!
It feels important to get this done as soon as possible, for it will prepare the energies of the Tower of Light of AN for October’s Second Activation of the Tower of AN. Even though the Tower is already activated, this new Activation will greatly deepen and expand the AN energies. I have a strong feeling that this Activation in October will be greatly needed, although I don’t yet know what will happen in the world before then that will make it so important. I do know that our Second Activation will be deeply transforming ~ for us personally, as well as the planet.
Here’s more information on October’s Activation in case you are called to participate: anvisible.com/evs/activation-2017-oct/
So we are alternating between full on action mode during the first half of the day and flattened mode for a few hours in the afternoons. The afternoons are when the energies become so strong that work is nearly impossible. No matter what is happening, we can feel the intensity rising and the energy growing ever stronger. And as you know, this can often be quite challenging.
Through it all, we are holding True and embrace you all with the Love of AN!

Everyone in Peru is supposed to fly a Peruvian flag for Fiestas Patrias (Independence Day) on July 28 – 29. Of course, we added an Inka flag too!

Here are our Inka and Peruvian flags as seen from the ramada of AN•Wasi.

Emanaku was taking a photo of our Inka flag and this is what happened! You can see a bit of the flag on the left of the Sun.

Last week, we finally painted the wall that had been plastered last May! It looks so nice. And now the yeso plaster won’t wash away during rainy season.

A few years ago we bought this small tree which was very cheap since a hibiscus had accidentally mixed with a native cantu bush. Now they have grown quite tall and are very happy living together as ONE. They are so very beautiful when they both flower at the same time.

The first of August is the beginning of the Andean New Year. El dia de Pachamama. In her honor, we sprinkled yellow pika pika confetti and made offerings of wine all around the land and around all the buildings. Pedro and Alexander helped us.
-
-
The Tower of AN received lots of pika pika on Andean New Year. And actually the entire month of August is Pachamama’s month.
-
-
Pedro and Emanaku disappear into a corner of the land with their baskets of pika pika.

Since Inka times, it always rains in the first week of August in honor of Pachamama. And so it did on August 3rd. This was our first rain in over a month and a half.

Another week ~ another washing of the Tower of Light of AN!

We are now turning our attention to the area around the Tower of AN. There is much to do there. We need to raise the inner five circles of the Tower, then put the river rock circles into cement so they will no longer be knocked out of position by dogs and water hoses.
Then we will add some river rock paths and plant grass in the areas which are currently dirt.This is all preparation for our Second Activation of the Tower of Light of AN in October which will take the AN energies to a new level and go much deeper.
It feels really important that the improvements to this area are done soon. We also bought some new pink flowers to plant in front of our wall. Here, Pedro and I discuss where to plant the new plants.

This is the nearby town of Calca during the annual celebrations of Mamacha Asunta which are taking place this week!

Part of the celebrations include an annual ceramic fair. This is the big opportunity to buy some flower pots at a good price, directly from the people who make them.

The flowers that we planted last year in the AN•Chakana area are now well established and look like they have always been here.
