    Hello travelers

    My name is Andres Pranava, I serve as a teacher of yoga, rituals, shamanism, massage, reiki....
    This blessed land my family has taken care of for a long time.
    Eight years ago I arrived in the territory, in a plastic teepee, and I have been growing. Now we have several houses, a temple, temazcal, vegetable garden...
    It is a wellness center based on yoga, meditation, shamanism, permaculture, bioconstruction.

    I can tell you that half of this space has been built with the hands of volunteers, and to date there are more than 110. With 97% I have had a very good relationship. With about 40% I maintain a friendly relationship.

    Some weekends we have events in the temple or in the temazcal.

    Here, we live three people, each one in his own space and we share some common areas.

    This is an ideal space to stay quiet, enjoy the calm, the eventual solitude, the forest, and eat a healthy diet. From time to time we meet up on the weekends. It is not a space for heavy parties, spiritual party if...

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The project is located near the airport.
    The sector is peasant.
    Close to Medellin, and other tourist sites.

    Even, the house is near to the highway, 2km, I recommended take motorbike taxi or taxi, more confortably, even come from airport or highway.

    Please, avoid to drunk or similar, and smoking cigarretes or weed.

    Eventually, we doing events, yoga, meditation, shamanic, dance, music...
    I appreciate if you working in that with us.

    It is an ideal space for those who spend time alone, since we live here with three people: one comes on weekends and stays at home, another is an elderly person who takes care of the food and the personal household, and I, who am usually between the farm and outside, also, with some frequency, share the practice of yoga and shamanism. And we only get one volunteer.

    Please don't have too many expectations about the "community", as we use the term to refer to the people who come frequently to the meetings. And of course, the people who lives here.

    El proyecto este ubicado cerca del aeropuerto.
    El sector es campesino.
    Cerca a Medellin, y otros sitios turísticos.

    Si bien, la casa esta muy cerca de las vías principales, 2km, recomiendo que vengan en moto taxi o taxi, mas cómodo, tanto si vienen del aeropuerto o de un punto en la autopista.

    Por favor, evita consumir alcohol o drogas.

    Eventualmente, realizamos encuentros, yoga, meditación, chamanismo, danza, música
    Apreciamos mucho que trabajes en ello con nosotros.

    Es un espacio ideal para quienes permanecer tiempo solos, pues, acá vivimos tres personas: uno viene los fines de semana y permanece en su casa, otra es una persona de edad avanzada que esta pendiente de la comida y el hogar personal, y, yo, que usualmente estoy entre la finca y afuera, también, con alguna frecuencia comparto la practica de yoga y chamanismo. Y solo recibimos un voluntario.

    Por favor, no tengas muchas expectativas en torno a la "comunidad", pues, utilizamos el termino para referirnos a las personas que vienen con frecuencia a los encuentros.
