(Written for 2022 Peru Retreats)
Permaculture and the way forward
So the first thing to say is that I’m not really a person of the city at all. My ancestors in the most part are very rural people, it’s just that my mother and father wanted to go “global” as jewellers living in “top notch” city of Yaroslavl in post soviet Russia…yeah it was a very colourful but hurt place. Now we are nowhere to be seen. Mother and brother living in the land down under, me – well just here now.
If you want I can tell you the story – but I will try to keep this short. Permaculture and what the heck is it – I bet there are plenty of articles that will come up very fast on google, though you see – people want to shut down this movement for dear life and I’ll tell you why
Because it “hurts us”. Meaning – we have to work now. Yep – with our minds and logic and our hands for real and truly – some people have to now maybe quit their day jobby or try to do many a jobby just to make this plan fit. And sure – it hurts. It hurts to build with your hands or your mind – but it doesn’t hurt as much – as where we are going inevitably – as we are not solving our problems as a global species very well it seems. But
In my hands are – some interesting tools. I have a powerful gift I got to say – it’s handicrafts. I know how to make things. Yeah beyond the internet, these 12 something books or these big words – I just have handicraft. You guys – why don’t I just teach you how. Maybe that is not glamorous and is not worthy to leave your country for but you know – that’s me. So –
I have ancestry to prove this. I think I’d be a good guide to you if you want to learn to paint, to create, to write good, to talk good, to write if you have to write for a job or whatever, to sculpt, to sew, to create a basket out of palm leafs. I can grow you – but you see –
I can’t get dressed for that as they say. We have – a big computerised world and the reason why we are all suffering is we don’t know what more and how else or what now or why or what for. Now I’m not going to offer the world to you here.
We just have some goods. I’m not bartering. But just saying – if you would like to work with me or learn from any one of us (we have builders, we have creatives, we have artists, we have musicians – we have many people) – you might just change your mind – and that means – change your life.
….
Why come here in the end after all….tun tun tun
Yes it might be a little glamorous. The nice psychic from Youtube, the lovely table of food or just a few good looking well associated people. Sure – but you know what more. We have friends. And we have – power – as it seems. To be honest it is about – longevity and anonymity – maybe it’s hard to be Caucasian here in a Latin country but – it’s possible to be anonymous say.
One more thing here is – to get land. Land is a very easy venture – for now. Great ideas here. And also great pocket full of money you would save yourself not buying in Australia, New Zealand or other places like that. Because it’s rich – but it’s also very expensive. If you want you can invest.
But I’m not the best at it. Just a little tour guide after all. Though I can help you choose and identify what you want to do here if you do indeed want to be – drum roll please.
…..
Be a part of our community
So say you sing or you write – maybe you have something to give or share. Maybe you can’t buy a piece of land or you don’t want ot be here for too long – well why not just get to know us. Yeah tourism is dry. But the best part is getting to know eachother and maybe your heart might sing together with us. The point is not to make this official. Yeah.
Just grow. I mean – we are not some weirdos praying to the sun all day. We just have what it takes for now at least to make it grow – whatever this might be. Be it a plot of land or just making of an object. We can make stuff here or understand how to hold ourselves up – if there is anything messy coming and yes – it is. So where are we now.
I mean where are you
Sure – it’s not really the land of quiet alleys, museums or public hospitals (for good reason thank goodness) – but it is Peru. And yes though it is a little shifty and badly spoken sometimes, though it is ugly and rude or it can be at least. We have it – in our hearts to forgive and understand because – this is mecca when it comes to the next step and the step is – may I present this to you finally…
…..
Global organisations and people that care
So what are we gonna stand on – well we are going to – stand on some Earth I suspect
And where is that Earth free and growing – well
I believe it is here and in countries like Peru. So – if you want to get in the driving seat of your car at least for now or learn something better than swiveling a pen around or looking on the internet for spiritual stuff – try to grow your own vegies. Learn about the palms and different species of them, the birds and the insects, the snakes and the dragons – whatever grows and whatever works. Try to imagine yourself – somewhere like this. What did your ancestors do before they started farming? How did they live? Learn about that.
And breathe. Because gosh, the air here – truly is remarkable. Yes it is not maybe – the finest air in the world – like the…wait…Peruvian….mountain ranges. I know – it’s probably a big questionmark for some but yes – we actually have good like – perfect – air here. If you want you can fly or drive there – it’s only a day away.
And yes we can also organise that for you as if you may believe it or not – we also have family over in the Sacred Valley – we can hook you up with.
….
The hook up
So yes – the point, or part of the point of this event page is to just meet and interact – online or otherwise. Now the point is not to stop that once – the money is payed or the doors are shut. Nope – we are not that type of tribe. We are just growing you guys – really. And the reason to open is to admit. Maybe – that some people or some places just got it good. I can’t believe it – we got it pretty damn good you guys.
Off grid living
Great food
Awesome people
Conversations you remember – ha!
Great ideas
Permaculture and ingenuity
Genius ideas and results
Down to earth living and thinking
Finding more friends and tada
We have a world. But we also have – you to share with – if you don’t want to go that is great too. Maybe keep up with our progress. There might be a page for that eventually. But it is not about – prostituting our home or anything.
We just have to get – heavy on results. What are you doing today. Like really – what are you actually doing today. Maybe you don’t have too much there anymore. Why are you there? What are you wanting to do tomorrow?
Maybe you have an art form you want to share, maybe you write books or play guitar. Maybe you just like to talk or you are a good promoter or manager. Maybe you just love to live free or love to be. You have it in you to maybe sign up or something. And yes a newsletter thingy majig might be needed here. But we also have just – youtube…or we have truth (more to come, watch this space) – and the best place to be is to believe.
Love and light
