This huge Creative Surge shows no sign of slowing down or diminishing. We are on our largest surfboards and enjoying a very wild ride on super creative waves upon waves. We feel a strong sense of urgency to get as much done as possible. We don’t know why we feel this urgency, but the Creative Surge is making everything go surprisingly smoothly. With each task we do, the energies of the New Reality of AN become noticeably stronger and sweeter. `
Even though parts of our land are currently construction zones, EVERYTHING here is infused with AN energies ~ it is exquisitely beautiful, deeply inspiring and nourishing beyond words.
The construction of the outer structure of Emanaku’s new workshop ~ Kusi•Wasi ~ is nearing completion. (Kusi means Happiness in Quechua and this workshop is bringing us all much joy.) The roof over the new carport and firewood area is going on today. It will still take several weeks before all the carpentry is completed, but we hope to move in by the end of the year, if not before.
Our vegetable garden in its sacred Timeless True World is flourishing. The plants really love it there, and so do we. We cannot wait for our first harvest.
No matter what is going on here, there’s a feeling of tremendous joy. There’s also a sense of accomplishment ~ a feeling that the hardest part of anchoring the New Reality is over. It’s already here! It’s strongly anchored at the Heart of AN. It feels stunningly True. There is so much LOVE here at the Heart of AN. And for all that, we are deeply grateful.
We are especially thankful to all of you ~ our magnificent Family of AN ~ for holding the Beam for us and for your continuous support. WE LOVE YOU!!!

Here comes a big afternoon rain! Often we have sunny mornings and rainy afternoons and nights.
-

The Adorable Alpacas of AN are excellent explorers of the Heart of AN. They regularly visit many parts of the land.
-
-
It’s the season for our cactus to bloom. The white flowers are so delicately beautiful.
-

Emanaku’s new workshop is now called Kusi•Wasi. This new building is very joyful and Kusi means happiness in Quechua.
Here, German and his crew put plastic on top of the adobe walls before going home, in case it rains during the night.
-
-
All the palos (beams) for the roof of Emanaku’s new workshop had to be hand peeled of their bark.
-
-
It’s extremely exciting to see Kusi•Wasi emerge from the Invisible!
-
-
Our super sweet electrician Alfredo is installing the electricity in Kusi•Wasi with the help of his assistant Alexander.
-
-
Boards are being carefully placed on top of the roof beams.
-

Our master carpenter Aristo is back! It’s so good seeing him and Alfredo again. Both of them worked on our house and are super nice.
-
-
The inside walls of Kusi•Wasi were plastered with barra or traditional mud plaster.
-
-
Here’s what they look like now!
-
-
The energies of the New Reality at the Heart of AN are becoming stronger each day. It feels so magical to walk upon the land, basking in the healing energies here. Every single area has a special beauty.
-
-
Sisu, Misk’y and Nima love the running water in the canal. And Nima especially loves taking baths in the Alpaca Pool!
-
-
The Alpacas of AN appear in many different locations during the day.
-

In the midst of all this activity, we had a wonderful three day visit with David from New Zealand, who was here last year during the fire on the mountain.
-
-
We’ve planted much of our vegetable garden and the plants are thriving. We are going to have lots of lettuce, cauliflower, tomatos, squash and onions!
-
-
When there’s no rain, Pedro waters our vegetable garden. Before the dry season, we will install a drip irrigation system here.

Emanaku designed the tile work for outside of Kusi•Wasi. I helped to put in the tiles.
-
-
Here is the tilework on the side of Kusi•Wasi getting cleaned up.
-
-
The tile design on the side of Kusi•Wasi consists of many different types of angles. It’s both practical and beautiful.
-
-
The piles of sand for the cement are always popular with the dogs and alpacas. They all love having dirt baths in them!
-
-
Percy had one of the hardest jobs of digging a deep hole for a “pozo de tierra”, which is for grounding our electricity. Unfortunately, it was full of big rocks! Here, Pedro helps pull out one of the huge rocks that is first tied with a rope.
-
-
Emanaku went to the metalworker in Urubamba and had this huge, heavy, mysterious thing made!
-
-
The huge, heavy, mysterious thing from the metal worker is ready to come to the Heart of AN. La Perla handled the extra cargo with her usual grace.
I wonder what it is for?
-
-
Once the huge, heavy, mysterious thing arrived here, Percy set to work painting it green.
AND WHAT IS IT FOR?
-
-
AHA !!!
It’s a huge box on wheels to hold our firewood! Two smaller ones are currently being made. Then they will all go into the firewood area next to the new carport.
-
-
Nima loves to sit in the center of the Tower of AN and anchor the New Reality.
-
-
In the late afternoon after the Alpacas have returned to their house, Manzana takes over the sceptre of anchoring the energies of AN from Nima.
-
-
During the lunchbreak, six of the Alpacas of AN came over to check out Kusi•Wasi. They are so curious about everything!
-
-
Our old carport and firewood area were completely dismantled, then moved to a new position with a much improved configuration.
-
-
Here’s Aristo in his workshop, making a huge shelf for Kusi•Wasi. After the shelf is finished, he’s going to make two large shelves for our Art Studio to hold all our tiles. Then he will start on the doors for Kusi•Wasi.
-
-
The roof beams were placed upon the new carport and firewood area. German is very nimble at walking on the beams with the chainsaw.
-
-
The energies of the entire area around Kusi•Wasi feel very good and make everyone HAPPY.

Another day…. And the magnificent Manzana ever holds the Beam for all.
