February began with a fiesta and our final land payment. But that was just the beginning of a wild roller coaster ride. As we were going up that long first hill, little did we know what surprises were ahead of us.
Eloy and his brother Elvin were busy creating the new public path on the far side of our AN•Sonqo land. Emanaku and I were organizing our Special Events in May and adding more treasures to the AN•Mercado.
During the second week of February, we had a wonderful visit with Nina who is from Sweden, but lives in the US. I had first met her at the 11:11 Seventh Gate Activation in India back in 2004 and this was the first time we had met since then. Nina was here for six days and we had a brilliant, fun and transformational time together.
A few days after she left, we started experiencing a series of shocking events, mainly centered around our guardian Eloy. It soon became obvious that, even though he had been here for a year and a half, we had to let him go. This was difficult, but necessary.
In retrospect, we see how the shocking events helped to trigger all of us to let go and make needed changes in our lives. Although we had greatly enjoyed having Eloy, Juana and her sheep here, it feels right that they now move on to their right place.
We spent the last week of February interviewing new candidates for our guardian position. We finally chose Pedro who comes from a remote community, high up in the Andes, three hours from here. Pedro arrived yesterday afternoon and started cleaning up the flowers this morning.
Now, we welcome the time to catch up on our neglected work that we couldn’t do last week and to recalibrate everything at the Heart of AN to be ever more Beautiful and True.

We greatly enjoyed the extended visit of Nina from Sweden and the US in the second week of February.
-
-
She had an extremely accurate and helpful reading with the Cards of AN.
-
-
And of course, we walked the AN • Labyrinth!
-
-
Here’s the center of the AN•Labyrinth.

I wait to welcome Nina and Emanaku as they complete walking the labyrinth into their True Lives in the New Reality. As Nina prepares to emerge from the labyrinth, she stands on the Diamond of the South and does the AN Mudra.

We also went to Urubamba to look at some handmade garden benches made by an American carpenter. They have such an elegant simplicity and are super comfortable. We really like them! We’ve ordered a few benches for the Heart of AN, which will be ready before our May Activation of the Tower of Light of AN.

Here are the remaining eucalyptus trees on our new land. Now that they have more space, their branches are spreading out and they seem much happier.

For the first few weeks of February, Eloy and his brother Elvin worked on creating a new public path at the far edge of the new land. There are about 100 meters which need to be prepared so they are nice and flat, as well as wide enough for a toro to pass through.
Once the path is complete, we will put up a chain link fence along three sides of the new land (and plant pink flowers all along it).
When we move the old public path to its new location, we will be able to open up the old fence separating the two lands and merge together all the land of the Heart of AN. This will be momentous!

Here is the magnificent, tall Guardian Tree on the other side of our new land. She is like a beautiful Queen.

Leo and Luna flopped out on a cosy, rainy night in front of our wood stove.

For the past several days, it has been rainy, making the energies very soft and the land green. These are the mountains next to the nearby town of Urubamba.

After a series of shocking events in the second half of February, it was clear that it was time for Eloy and Juana to move on from the Heart of AN.
Eloy and Elvin met with Juana, her parents and sister in front of our guardian house. After temporarily splitting up, Eloy and Juana decided to get back together.

-
After helping to clean and repaint AN•Tika, our guardian house, Eloy’s brother Elvin and Juana’s sister Maria collected tunas from our prickly pear cacti to take with them.
-
-
After one and a half years, everyone left with a smile on their face and good feelings all around.

A truck takes Eloy’s and Juana’s things to Huilloc for their new life.

We love how Apu Sawasiray disappears into the clouds on a rainy day.

Introducing Pedro, our new guardian at the Heart of AN who arrived yesterday afternoon!

This morning, Pedro has already begun cleaning up the areas around the flowers.
