ecovillages

to me there is something really beautiful in nature and living in healthy loving communities. i dream of living in an ecovillage in a mountain and by a river when the time is right. a couple of weeks ago i went to ecoaldea atlantida in cauca, colombia for a training in universal dances for peace. it was one of the most healing trips i have ever taken. the andean mountains have a very special energy! sleeping outdoors in remote areas with beautiful people surrounded by birds, stars, trees, tons of ferns. taking a shower in the river, eating wholesome foods, meditating and dancing and dancing, celebrating and engaged in deep reflection. planting moons on the sacred tree. singing in the sweat lodge. teaching environmental education workshops to kids and playing, laughing and reconnecting. learning from the imagination and creativity of children. creating music that is nurturing for the heart. healing me, healing the earth. creating collectively in a safe space and acknowledging how perfect everything is. this kind of life seems so natural to me, everyday should be like this. it was incredible to be there and meet beautiful like minded souls. i knew this trip would be life-changing i never thought it would be so much.

here's a little piece of the dances we did during that trip. universal dances for peace feel like a mandala and a spiral where we reconnect to our hearts, each other and pachamama.



tons of pictures from this trip on facebook.

i want to get trained and lead universal dances for peace in miami and in demonstrations. i am soon going to a theatre of the oppressed workshop. i would love to use theatre, universal dances, expedition and nature-based education as tools for social and environmental change and inner and community transformations.

i am so grateful to be surrounded by so much beauty. my family, my friends, nature, where i work and the people i work with, it's all i need. i am surrounded by all the energy i need to sustain and create love to give it all out to you!

i love my life, i love nature and i love YOU!
