Our wonderful first outdoor ceremonial site, Babushka

Surrounded by lush forest and the full moon passing right above it shedding full light on our ceremonies, Babushka (named so because it has the shape of a Russian doll) is beautifully sculpted out of renewable tropical wood and decorated with fallen branches from the land.

It has wooden seats all around, it has an elevated platform for the shamans, an outdoor toilet and beautiful natural paths leading to it. It will be joined by many more; a stone tiled one from the river in a place with a beautiful view of the mountains; an adobe terracota floored one with shipibo designs painted all over it near the North American Indian village with the Tipi, the Art Therapy school and workshop, the sweat Lodge, a traditional Temazcal built into the belly of Mother Earth and of course, our main moloca with the glass dodecagonal pyramid on top so we can have ceremony and watch the sky on rainy nights!!!

Our shamans sanctified the place and gave it their blessing
