In La Kesh

San Marcos,

Guatemala

Located on majestic Lake Atitlan in the village of San Marcos.

We are gathering at Arco Iris Juice Bar and in the process of forming In La Kesh community and choosing a location on the lake.

Our vision is to come together and manifest from the heart, creating abundance and ease by living in connection with the earth, building sustainable homes and practicing permaculture and Biodynamic gardening.

Using natural ancient medicinal healing practices and eating pranic alive whole foods.

Sharing and growing in the healing arts and using the wisdom of Mayan & yogic cultures-see more information on our website www.yogaofbeauty.net

We have a vision of acquiring land with the intention of it being held in community and not owned by any one person, aknowledging that the land belongs to us all as a gift.

By practicing Consensus and Non-Violent Communication we aspire to grow in the challenges that arise from coming together out of domination based societies and finding new ways to live in harmony with one another through this collective experience.

We have two projects in San Marcos, Arco Iris Juice Bar and Sacred Art Studio, and are moving towards self sufficiency, barter, and other forms of exchange besides paper.

We have a process of becoming a guest first, getting to know one another for a period of 4 months and then deciding if a longer stay or integration into community is of benefit for all through consensus,we know that all people have valuable gifts to offer and we welcome you to come and share in this beautiful vision.

If you have abundance to share to help support this project, we are ready to receive gifts and donations for the clear intention of forming In La Kesh.

"When you look into the eyes of another person, you are looking into your own eyes"

In Lak´ech-Ancient Mayan greeting

Status: Alive & Well!
