~ Permaculture ~

We will be planting seeds, herbs, veggies and trees, learning about tropical permaculture and traditional agroforestry/gardening.

~ Earth Activist Music Song-Writing and Recording ~

During this retreat, we will have the opportunity to write Earth Activist Music individually and collectively as a form of addressing social and environmental issues happening in Guatemala and the US. We will also get to record our music, and optionally make music videos. The eagle and condor indigenous prophecy for us translates at people of the Eagle, of the North, connecting to people of the Condor the South.

The Eagle and Condor will not fly in Peace until the children at the border are united with their families.

~ Eco-Poetics & SongWeaving ~

This an interactive participatory experience that engages the five senses and grounds our collective creativity into word flow, free-styling, vocal/instrumental improve, stream of consciousness and song co-creation. We write our own songs & poems, weaving in collectively shared ideas, visions and words, and then perform our creation to the group in a supportive environment with music to back us up. You will emerge from this workshop with a new song to share with the world, and a newfound inner songbird ready to sing!

~ Ecstatic & Embodied Dance ~

Embodiment is how we ground our visionary creativity into reality. Ecstacy, from "Ekstasis," literally means "to Step Out." We will be stepping out of the ordinary, and into the extra-ordinary through movement and dance, integrated throughout this immersion, with both live and eclectic electronic music. Join us for Ecstatic Dance with AMANI of Desert Dwellers and Liquid Bloom!

~ Embodying Permaculture ~

The Embodying Permaculture Workshop is an experience designed to integrate mind, body, heart and spirit with the values and principles of permaculture. As facilitators we will take participants through a journey of body centered awareness practices including transformational theater, embodied movement, guided music creation, vinyasa yoga flow, and guided visualization meditations activating the 5 senses and permaculture. We will engage in interactive games and exercises for each of the 5 senses. We will also facilitate a Solutionary discussion counsel where the participants will have the opportunity to share their vision of being a co-creative change-maker in a thriving sustainable community. When we are fully in alignment with our true selves as multidimensional beings, we develop a strong connection to ourselves, our community and our environment.

~ Herbal Medicine Making ~

We will make personal herbal medicine for our body-mind-spirit-heart! We will get to dive into herbal medicine making projects with tinctures, salves, balms, etc., using mostly herbs growing at the Mystical Yoga Farm.

Anahata worked at the Herb Pharm in Williams Oregon, and Bloom & Anahata both worked as herbal medics at Standing Rock.

~ Earth Altar Creation Earth Based Spirituality Rituals ~

We will ceremonially gather flowers, leaves, sticks, and anything we find in nature and around the garden to create an Earth Altar for our immersion.

~

Music, Art, Dance, Poetry and all forms of Creativity generate healing for all people. This is our outlet to express our passion, joy, fears, anger and activism.

We invite you to reflect on these questions:

What kind of world do we want to live in?

How can we be in service of indigenous and local Guatemalan voices, vision and wisdom?

What does it mean to be a person in humble service of Mother Earth, in right relation with culture, & honoring of heritage?

We both grew up in California with many Guatemalan and Central American families in our hometowns. Many of which were in our schools, inspiring fellow farmers, builders, educators, activists and of all different professions. Currently Guatemalan children are being separated from their parents at the US border and severely exploited. These are our peers! People in our neighborhoods are being taken away by ICE! People deserving of equal opportunity and rights as us. Our great grandparents of Jewish Eastern European descent had the privilege of safely entering the US during the genocide of our people during the Holocaust and dictatorship of Soviet Union. Guatemalan families do not have the same privilege as our relatives did.
