Hello Everyone! Happy Full Moon and 10 B'atz on the Mayan T'zolkin calendar! Today represents the manifestation of Creativity, of Art, of Playfulness and Expression! And, fittingly, I would like to show you guys the Official Website for Arco Isis Sanctuary, Arcoisissanctuary.com viewable here:

Watching this website complete itself felt as though something was guiding me along the process. Certain photos just wouldn't seem to upload, while others quickly popped into place. Some of the page layouts happened by accident, and I liked them better than before! The whole website was completed start to finish in 3 days!
Looking at the photos gave me a lot of WOW as to a recap of all the transformations and experiences that happened this year, in such a short time!
Our Website is up, and we are ordering stickers to pass out at The Rainbow Family Gathering in Oregon, as well as the Oregon Country Fair, Beloved Festival, and Oregon Eclipse Gathering! There will be stickers hiding on Rainbow Cloud Bottles and at our booth at the Proctor Farmer's Market! Our sticker design was beautifully painted by a local Guatemalan guy named Miguel. He is awesome! Our stickers are a way of spreading beauty into the world while simultaneously informing everyone about our Project down here in San Marcos la Laguna, Lake Atitlan!
We are currently raising funds to build our Center here, and 20% of all funds we raise will go to support non profit programs supporting the locals down here. With your help, and my coffee :) we have so far raised nearly $1300 dollars to help us build! With that we have donated time, materials and money to Fincas Buenas LLC, who have since built a wheelchair access ramp for a disabled person, helped rebuild and paint somebody's house, and have plans to build a skate ramp for the youth center here in San Marcos! A little goes a long way here to make someone's life better, or give some one an opportunity they otherwise would not have.
We also have a list of upcoming retreats and workshops we are hosting next year beginning in December! There are a ton of ways to support us, and that includes coming down to Guatemala! :D
It is truly the greatest gift in this world to be in a position that I am, of privilege to create something like this, of privilege to give and make contributions to people here, some who have never had the opportunity for proper nutrition or to have a decent roof over their head! Thank you so much to everyone who has been supportive, who has liked us on Facebook, who has talked about us, and who has donated to our cause! Thank you to everyone who has bought a bottle of Rainbow Cloud Kombucha! You have all given me this amazing opportunity!
