First Impressions

I like this place!  It reminds me so much of Dominica, a country in which I lived for almost 4 years.  It is lush, humid, and soooo peaceful.

The people here are passionate about their little PachaMama community.  A lot of the residents came here on a Work Exchange Program and stayed.  It has been open for over 12 years now and has grown to a community of 80 residents and 20+ children and they are now building homes here. 

I feel a little under-named right now. :)  The people here have names like Adya and Raaji and Anamika and Anoosh and Rakoosh which I immediately forget!  These are (probably Sanskrit) names they've acquired with their new spiritual path.

There is a lot of excitement here right now as they are practising songs, and gearing up for the big White Light ceremony that starts Friday evening and goes continuously until early Saturday morning.  You must wear white (for your non-ego self) and yes, you can drink the "tea" to assist you with whatever vision you want to achieve.

Ah no...I won't be attending.
