Phase 1 of Colorado Adventures is complete – The Land is moving forward joyfully!

  • Why Gran Opening Retreat: To me, this was a pivotal moment in my personal life and my career as a neurologist who is turning medical knowledge to the service of a larger community of family, friends, and all visitors who will be strengthening ties with a new way of living, behaving, functioning. Let’s create history together!
  • What happened day by day:
    • 6/21 Saturday - Arrival. Tent set up. Catch up.
    • 6/22 Sunday - Rest of the group arrival and settling. Off the grid living. Why and how? Introductions and Intentions. Flow agreements.
    • 6/23 - Opening: Cocoa. History of uses for the 4 bodies. Effects in modern times.
    • 6/24 - Mushrooms microdosing. Uncovering The Wonders of the Land. Inner reflections, experiences and realizations. Sacred Fire - Cannabis: Light and Shadow.
    • 6/25 - Andean super drink exploration. Natural plants without any chemical processes. Only pure leaves, seeds, stems, etc.: Coca, Quinua, Kaniwa, Kiwicha, Maca, Panela. Summary business conversations. Partial group departure.
    • 6/26 – Final participants depart.
  • End of the visit, Feedback Questionnaire was sent to participants! Stay tuned! Information will be posted soonish… 😊

 

 

Some of the concerns shared verbally with me during the retreat and my actions and responses to them follow:

  • The Land is not ADA accessible: "I know :/ I am sorry! I wish we could move forward faster but money is tight. We are looking for donations and active collaborators, investors, partners, supporters, anyone can join our Super Team!"
  • "You must disclose the rustic and off the grid conditions, and everything possible and possibly questionable": Sure thing, the job has been done! Check the Disclosures, Disclaimers and Agreements here. Is there anything missing? Have you been @ The Land? Will you be coming? We count on your feedback!
  • "Are you building a cult?" That one was unexpected, but perhaps not so much. I know there have been very unfortunate events around certain community groups, throughout time, across the globe. What is a cult? How to stay away from whatever characterizes them? In my mind, a few key words appear: decentralization of power, transparency, truth, debate. What else? Let’s talk about it. Come, join us, visit us!
  • Location and Driving directions for those driving in: Yes friends! Working on it! It will be ready by August, next retreat, yay!
