WELCOME TO 2012: The Year We’ve Been Waiting For

Hard to believe it is 2012! When I moved to Peru in 2000, the Inka prophecies about 2012 seemed a bit far in the distance. Now the time has arrived. We are inside the grand changes predicted more than 500 years ago. The prophecies are not so much about a specific day in a specific year but about a time. And the time is now. The change we have been waiting for is upon us.

I watched on the internet, as the Occupy movement spread from Wall St. around the world. It seems to me that people are waking up to recognize their interests are not being served by the people in power – politically, economically and environmentally. Now is a time for us to look at who we are and what we want this world to be. We are the ones who can dream it into being.

Christer’s passing and the changes it brought in my life last year, taught me how important it is that we live fully in the present and respond to life as it is unfolding. The security that we seek lies inside our hearts, ready to adapt to whatever circumstances we may find ourselves in.

Many plans for 2012 are already in place for me and my work but I make them with full knowledge that anything can happen within or beyond them. At the end of January I will go to Florida to visit my parents for two weeks. On the way back, I will teach a Munay-Ki workshop in Queretaro near Mexico City.

I come back to Pisac for 12 days to start a new construction project in late February before traveling to Asia. We will build three 2-bedroom bungalows in one of my vacant lots which should be done by July or August if you want to come for an extended stay!

March 7^th I will fly to San Francisco to stay some days with my friend Jean before going to Hong Kong for a week, where I will teach the Munay-Ki. From there, I fly to Thailand (Chaing Rai) for two weeks of work and fun. April 4 I fly to Kuala Lumpur for a week where I will teach and offer some private healing sessions. It will be my first visit to Thailand and Malaysia so I look forward to exploring the sites as well as working a little.

I will lead two groups at Paz y Luz in April and May for the “Deepening the Munay-Ki” course - one in English and one in Spanish. The first weekend in June, I will teach the Munay-Ki in Budapest, Hungary (another new country for me). From there I will fly to Sweden to spend some time with Christer's family in Stockholm and teach a course with my friend Britt in western Sweden near Norway. I will fly home via Atlanta where my nephew Josh is getting married and I will officiate!

Back at Paz y Luz for July and August, we have more groups and workshops before I head north again for my father’s 90th birthday party in New York on Sept 1^st. A week later I will gather with old friends to celebrate my 60th on Sept 8th.

My new book is finished and currently in production. It should be available on line by mid February. So who knows what new and exciting connections that may bring. We shall see what this year has in store for us. Paz y Luz will hold a special Gathering for the auspicious December Solstice, December 20, 21 and 22. If you feel called to come, we look forward to having you.

May this year be full of wonder and delight for us all, as we stay perched on our toes ready to bob and weave with any shifts and shakes that present themselves.
