Description
(strictly vegan sanctuary)
It is an honor to introduce myself as the guardian of the sanctuary & Natural Reserve. We are a 20 acre Sanctuary & Natural Reserve located in the sacred lands of the Sierra Nevada mountains in northern Colombia, a territory known as the ‘Heart of the World’.
Our land stands at 850 feet above Sea Level, 35-40 minutes from the town of Minca in a motorcycle, or 2.5-3 hours walking. Minca is located 30 minutes upcountry from Santa Marta.
Due to the shifts the world experienced in recent times, we have been given a wake up call to return to the sacred land. A remembrance to steward Mother Earth and establish reliable and self sustainable systems for the generations to come.
As the world awakens, I have recognized the importance to begin my sacred work towards food sovereignty, towards sustainable and regenerative systems; returning to the land, co-creating in community
Together we weave the mandala web of light and high vibrational communities with one main purpose of raising our vibration and healing in the deepest forms, so that we can serve from the highest versions of ourselves in these times when the World needs us the most, though more importantly, we need to hold ourselves accountable.
At , the daily activities will be mostly working with edible and medicinal plants, fruit trees, gardening; as we continue to plant a fruit forest with exotic fruits from all over the world, and gardens that can supply all the food that we need.
Join us as we weave and co-create together. -

Here you will definitely learn how to work the land and care for plants and trees. Important aspects of gardening and permaculture.
Here you will also learn about other ways of living and seeing the world. -

Most of the work we require involves cleaning and clearing overgrown land. Weeds and grass need to be maintained. Fruit trees need to be mulched and cared for. Planting trees. Pruning trees and plants. Harvesting limes.
Using machete and some other farm tools.
Weed whacking with a weed whacker.
Chopping wood.
Cleaning kitchen and organizing.
Being pro active is a must. -

What else ...
We are 100% Pro Life. 100% Vegetarians.
I like to call things for what they are. We do not support eating blood and sacrificing animal flesh. We protect the animals as we protect the Earth and each other. We are one big family here on Earth.
Ideally I'm calling in volunteers that are in the same frequency, vegans or vegetarians.
Eating flesh and blood is poison to our Spirits. We do not accept or support that.
If you do consume and sacrifice animal flesh and blood, this is not the right place for you. -

Olena (1 year)
Olena means Turmeric in Hawaiian. But it's a metaphor for Light or Sun Ray.
She's the most loving and playful dog. She's been with me since she was 7 weeks.

I had an amazing time staying here for over two weeks, returning to the Sierra Nevada of Colombia and being involved in a really interesting project. It’s inspiring to work with an expansive amount of different fruit tree varieties from around the world, or local to this region, and plant them within the place, or in poly cultures amongst … read more
