I love these trees covered with
these plants called bromeliads.
There are all kinds of different
bromeliads with different
flowers.
These plants live off of airborne
particles as their nutrient
source and make great decor
combined with driftwood pieces
for inside visual pleasure, extra
oxygen and easy to maintain.

Laying down under the sun at
Harmony parking lot, a beautiful
iguana is calling the male
attention standing up in the
tree.

If any of you ever want to camp
out in the sahara?
let me know! i have the best
address. It was amazing!

There was this cool project
planned in Santa Barbara that
would show the increasing water
levels in the city if Greenland
turned into slush.

However, the project has been
generating controversy, because
real estate developers realized
that any buildings on the “wrong
side” of the light blue
line would be hard to sell. Doh!

This summer Mary Jo and I spent a
life altering 2 weeks in the
Sacred Valley of Peru. We
traveled to scared sites with the
Q’ero, direct descendants of
the Inka and master shamans of
the high Andes and received
karpays (shamanic initiatory
rites of passage). In the Inka
tradition, a shaman-in-training
is given rites of passage, which
are energetic transmissions that
link them to the lineage of
medicine men and women that came
before them. At each sacred site
a descpacho was preformed. This

our guests staying at the Harmony
House!

Iguanas are common at Harmony
Gardens. The iguana in this
picture has the house just in
front of the main Restaurant
outside deck in the middle of one
palm tree.

This little guest is climbing our
Healing Centre reception desk.
Is he coming to make an
appointment or applying for work?

Some rumours floating around are
some people ‘lick’ frogs while
others kiss them for various
kinds of results??!!

Personally it isn’t quite my thing
so I just let this little guy
know that there was room for work
here if he was into being part of
our permaculture solution for
mosquitos.

All tucked up and enjoyed by a
dragonfly.

The wisdom of nature to know the
importance of not being stuck in
one extreme or another, when to
be open and when to be closed and
to have the flexibility and the
strength to oscillate between the
two.

Each morning coming to ‘work’ at
the Healing Centre we are greeted
by the beauty and serentity of
the lotus. These are early
morning meditators who then tuck
up until the next day break.

I have also had the pleasure of
walking in the garden here at
full moon to enjoy the lotus open
and bathing under the moonlight.
