People from all over the world came as volunteers to help us. Together, we learned how to farm the land, care for the plants, and live in harmony with nature. It was the beginning of all the magic!

Ommm… Phew, I almost fell asleep remembering!

The yoga pavilion is one of my favorite places to find peace. It’s pure magic! But to find calm, we first had to work hard and get our hands dirty. Yoga was a later discovery on our journey.

You were close! The energy here is strong, but it’s not the beginning. Go back and try again!
Botón:

SPLASH! I almost drowned in memories!

Hahaha! I love the pool, it’s super fun and refreshing, but my story didn’t start with a splash. That came much later, when we needed to relax from all the work!

Good choice, but not the right one! Go back and try another option. Don’t give up, explorer!
