"Experiencing the beauty and magic of this land is something I will be eternally grateful for. Envisioning a beautiful, prospering community here is easy to do. I can already feel the healing that will transpire here from the seeds being planted now. I am excited to come back in the fall for the festival and see what's already come to life!"

“I have not fully had the time to digest all that I experienced this past week, but what I know to be true is that this land is pure magic. It is blessed. It is wise. It has a consciousness of its own, and we are the lucky ones to experience and co-create our vision in coherence and communication with the land. We, these tiny human bodies, aligned with the Great Spirit, and 47 hectares of raw, untouched land, Mother Earth, hand in hand, are the scientists, the lab rats, and the experiment, all in one. The land and this vision, to create a community beyond our current world views, in alignment with our true nature and Great Spirit, is so raw and authentic, it really feels like we are at the beginning of a frontier. We get a chance to do things differently, with more consciousness, mindfulness, heart-centeredness, and grace and love.
When I first arrived on the land, I felt overwhelmed, many doubts and insecurities began to cloud my mind—the vastness of the land consumed me. But during the first opening ceremony, I was cleansed of all lower vibrations, and a clear voice shined through the darkness. We are not alone. We are divinely supported and guided and held, by the land, by each other, the communities nearby, and all those who will come as time passes, and of course the divine above, below, and within each and every one of us. We are held and contained by this majestic vision and desire to live life with a joyous, grateful heart, in tune with our surroundings. I’ve decided to take it day by day, step by step, knowing the path is already carved, and the countless visions of this community have been planted in the dimensions of the unmanifested. It is our time to manifest them in this land, and revel in the day we see children, elders, animals, and new families living off the land, co-creating lives intertwined with the Oneness of all, living in the vibrations of unconditional and free love and above. I see beautiful communal spaces to play, dance, create art, learn from each other: languages, skills, trades, art, yoga, and more. I see a yoga sala and dance studio and meditation hall, a witch house and apothecary, beautiful gardens with rows of fresh vegetables and fruits and herbs and power plants, and beautiful kitchens and spaces to cook healthy and nutritious meals for all, and places to enjoy food and drink, as well. I see many many happy animals thriving, too. I see our community intermingling and enjoying the company of established communities surrounding ours, and learning from each other and sharing traditions and foods and languages. I see beautiful yoga and art and music festivals and retreats to show the world who we are and what we’re doing: and yes, another way to live on this earth, in peace and harmony with the earth and other beings is possible, and here we are, and we are here to stay, and play, and live true and live in love.
I have committed to fundraising for this community including starting a Crowdfunding page and donation based Tantra retreat/ workshops. I will return to the land January 29th with the first group, and stay the remainder of next year. I am excited and grateful to have joined this epic vision and quest for a new way of living, a new way of being, a new world for all. “

“When I ventured out to the land, I immediately felt a profound connection. Walking through the river felt like a right of passage cleansing me as I entered the divine and sacred space of the jungle, opening myself up to receive messages from the spirit. My inner child awoke and I received an immediate sense of healing as I breathed in the clean air. I felt connected to the spirits of the land and made the commitment to donate $100 and be one of the bridges to support fundraising efforts in the United States so others can experience the magic that I did, together in community. In this space I see people healing and rising up together as a collective building a new vision of what is possible. I fell in love the moment I stepped foot out on the land and am already dreaming about when I can return.”

“Was a Privilege to step on this sacred land, so virgin so alive. Having the opportunity to do ceremony, opening the directions and all the signs which were of no coincidence. This land is calling out for conscious inhabitants, personally I see a ceremonial space under the trees, full of colour and healing. The local community of chontaduro blew my mind, amazing food, music and vibes. Exactly where tigers should roam. Emily put it so well, we cross the river before entering the land to cleanse. Planning on a return from feb onwards. Kali Durga”

“It was an amazing journey. When I stepped onto this land I felt my power: the power of my ancestors, my inner warrior, my inner goddess. This magic land reminds me to return to my ancient roots and to learn the timeless wisdom of mystic history. I felt a strong connection to my roots and my healing power. My plan is to build a healing house/school and to work with plant medicine rituals there.
I commit to this land, to Great Spirit to be back on the 29th of January 2022 to help with organization for one month and then come back again for a longer period in September 2022.
I’m excited to start this project with people, who have a tantric point of view, people who understand the power of creation together. Everyone has great individuality, talents and together we can create new art, new life, new movie. It will be a land of innovative ideas which we can manifest together.”
