    +++++++++++++++++++++++

    The world is changing, and this is a moment to follow that flow and choose ourselves—beings who want to connect with our inner world and what surrounds us.

    These are spaces to explore what is inside us, what awakens our curiosity. It may be a crazy or necessary conversation, a silence, the inner melodies that will emerge from us as we are inspired by the concerts given by birds, insects, and those of us who live in this house. Colors, ideas, simplicity, playfulness, movement transitions, happines and saddness are also given space, as are any of our diverse human emotions. Noise, weirdness, songs, intentions, and whatever else needs to be lived by each of us individually and collectively.

    This is a Vidiversidad (University of Life and Diversity ), where each of us is an expert in our own lifeology (everyone has their own truth and experience and its beautiful to eplore it peacefully and with curiosity even thoutgh it may be different to ours). These gatherings exist to share whatever each of us wishes to share and to learn from one another. Each one teach one.
    We are all friends, family, and teachers, including the animals, plants, and beings that surround us in this very alive jungle. Very, very alive, with plenty of space given to the rest of the non human species.

    What you come to do here will be unique and will be born from your own being. There are many different things here that can add to the experience of this space, and as you explore it, that exchange and transition will naturally be built. I will also be doing my own things, and at any moment you are welcome to join and participate. Co-creating with you will be very valuable, regardless of the level of experience or skill we have in the activities. We will explore and play, and in doing so we each will transform from this whatever serves us.
    It is like an artistic, spiritual, learning, or inner-journey residency, or a simple-life experience—but ultimately, it is a residency to come and be yourself and to be present in this moment. :)
    Vivamonos!


    You can invest through hands and time:
    In exchange for supporting me specifically in what I need, this usually requires waking up early and doing construction or repair work, using the body a lot. Another option is to share your skills, games, or things I could learn. But specially im interested on things that we can go and share with the community, my idea is to integrate all of us, so you would need to know how to interct in spanish and have initiative to lead with the experience

    From my side, I offer a general list of what can be explored, and I have extensive experience accompanying co-learning processes and witnessing again and again the miracle of our transitions toward the naturality being oneself:
    [Please select some of your interest and share them in your message]

    •Simple living (theory, practice, and adaptation to any lifestyle)
    •Creative expression (music, learning any instrument, singing, colors, dance, writing) This is my speciality :D. And everyone so far has connected with music even when they thought it wasnt possible or for them.
    •Thinking with the heart, feeling with the head
    •Intuition
    •Connection with inner and outer nature
    •Mental labyrinths
    •Massage/Reiki techniques
    •Coexistence, natural-style planting and harvesting (using local plants and planting alongside birds, with the native ecosystem as the priority; I do not clear land or remove species from this space)
    •Non-suffering
    •Building with mud or elements available in the community
    •Creative improvisation
    •Inter-species communication
    •Simple spirituality, through enjoying life learnt from animals or childlike souls
    •Doing nothing
    •Locura que cura

    Each person who comes brings their own magic and adds more to this, and we share what is shareable.

    •••Paso a Paz: changing and traveling the inner world to transform the outer one.

    Thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable and explore your life in whatever way it flows to you.

    El mundo está cambiando, y este es un momento para seguir ese flujo y elegirnos—seres que queremos conectar con nuestro interior y con lo que nos rodea.

    Este es un espacio para explorar lo que vive en nosotros: conversaciones, silencios, música inspirada en la naturaleza, emociones, ideas, juego y expresión en todas sus formas. Todo tiene espacio aquí—alegría, tristeza, rareza, creatividad y lo que necesite vivirse individual y colectivamente.

    Esta es una Vidiversidad (Universidad de la vida y la diversidad) en donde cada uno somos los expertos en nuestra propia vidologia (cada quien tiene su propia verdad y su propia experiencia y es hermoso explorarla en paz y con curiosidad aunque sea diferente a la nuestra), Compartimos, aprendemos y convivimos como amigos, familia y maestros—junto a animales, plantas y la selva viva que nos rodea.

    Lo que vengas a hacer será único y nacerá de ti. Puedes unirte, co-crear o simplemente ser y vivir tu propio ritmo. Es una residencia artística, juguetona, espiritual y de vida simple—pero sobre todo, un espacio para ser tú y estar presente.
    ¡Vivámonos!


    Puedes invertir con manos y tiempo:
    A cambio de apoyar especificamente en lo que yo necesite, normalmente requerirá levantarse temprano y hacer construcciones o reparaciones y usar mucho el cuerpo. Lo que mas me interes es hacer puentes de interaccion entre los seres humanos, entonces puedes compartir tus habilidades con la comunidad y hacer un impacto importante en la vida de la gente local. Esto requerirá que puedas interactuar en español y tomar el liderato para cocrear conmigo las experiencias.

    De mi parte ofrezco una lista general de lo que se puede explorar y que tengo mucha experiencia acompañando en coaprendizajes y viendo una y otra vez el milagro de nuestras transiciones a la naturaleza de ser uno mismo:
    [Por favor, incluye en tu mensaje opciones en las que te interesen explorar]

    •Vida simple (teoria, practica, y adaptacion en cuaquier estilo de vida)
    •Expresion creativa (musica, aprender cualquier instrumento, canto, colores, baile, escritura). Esta es mi especialidad, entonces todos hasta ahora han conectado con la musica aun cuando creian por años que no era posible :D
    •Pensar con el corazón, sentir con la cabeza
    Intuicion
    •Conexion con la naturaleza interna y externa
    •Laberintos mentales
    •Masages
    •Coexistencia, siembra y consecha estilo natural ( usando plantas locales y sembrando con los pajaros el ecosistema nativo como principal, no corto monte ni saco especies de este espacio)
    •No-sufrimiento
    •Construccion con barro o elementos al alcance de la comunidad
    Improvisacion creativa
    •Comunicacion entre especies
    •Espiritualidad simple, de disfrutar la vida como lo hacen los animales
    •Hacer nada
    •Locuras que curan

    Y bueno cada persona que viene tiene su propia magia y construye este espacio

    •••Paso a Paz: transformar el mundo interior para impactar el exterior. El que influye en nuestras vidas y los seres que amamos

    Gracias por tu valentia, vulnerabilidad y ganas de explorar la vida.

    ENGLISH

    Art, play, movement, expression…
    Anything you’re passionate about—something you love or enjoy and want to share or practice—is welcome. The idea is to create workshops… or rather, playshops and gatherings with the community. I already do some so you can join the ones that happen or help create one

    Construction (2 months minimun)
    Mainly with earth and wood. We build what feels right in the moment, or we can bring your ideas to life. I do want to build a cob house so write me if you are interested.

    Planting (3 months minimun to be able to actually learn the cycles and processes)
    Sowing and harvesting, observing and living with nature—learning how to appreciate it, eat from it, and enjoy watching what we grow.

    Audio & Video
    Recording creative content. Or help me record music for uploading to the internet

    Marketing
    This idea has been amazing and its working, i need help to send the message clear and neat to keep it going

    I’m very curious, I love learning, and I also enjoy both doing and not doing. If you feel called to come, even if this list doesn’t fully match you but you have something else to share—send a message.

    ESPAÑOL

    Arte, juego, movimiento, expresión…
    Cualquier cosa que te apasione—algo que ames, disfrutes y quieras compartir o practicar—es bienvenida. La idea es hacer talleres… más bien playshops y encuentros con la comunidad. Yo hago unos a los que puedes unirte y ayudarme a organizar mas

    Construcción (minimo 2 meses)
    Principalmente con tierra y madera. Creamos lo que nazca en el momento o damos vida a tus ideas. En los próximos meses estaré construyendo casas pequeñas y una cueva.

    Plantar (minimo 3 meses para entender y conectar con los ciclos de estas areas)
    Siembra y cosecha, observar y convivir con la naturaleza—aprender a apreciarla, alimentarnos de ella y emocionarnos viendo crecer lo que sembramos.

    Audio y video
    Grabación de contenido creativo. Tambien ayuda para grabar musica y momentos para subirlos al internet

    Publicidad
    Esta idea ha sido hermosa y a funcionado muy bien y me doy cuenta que necesito ayuda para enviar el mensaje y que se entienda

    Soy muy curioso, me encanta aprender y también disfruto hacer y no hacer. Si sientes venir, aunque esta lista no te represente del todo pero hay algo que quieres compartir—mándame un mensaje.

    ENGLISH

    The house is made of earth and is 15 minutes from the nearest store.
    The village is small and people like to chat. A 15-minute drive away is El Remate, a quiet place with a bit of tourism, on the road to Tikal. There’s a lot to do—I can recommend or help depending on your interests. I know the area and people, so if you share your curiosities, we can find things or people to explore and connect with.
    Near the house there is a forest and interesting areas. The land also has spaces to share outdoors or to be alone.
    Life here is simple and close to nature. If you’re open to learning and discovering, it becomes easy to adapt, though it can take different time for each person. If you feel called to experience it, I can accompany you—you decide what being in nature means for you.
    Ask me anything. Do what feels right for you. I’m here for whatever you need—we try, support each other, and share like a family.
