love family

Наскоро ќе ве информираме повеќе за тоа што се случува, за сега доловете го чувството од сликите,

љубов од фамилијата

Hello shiny rays, the family in the community wants to write some impressions , we were so busy enjoying our time here, put our creativity in action, eat delicious vegan food, singing and laughing, making this place more welcoming and warm, taking care for an old baba(grandma) and her friends, its just so much to be said just by me Maja. I give the donated laptop, by Dima and his happy family, in the fingers of the people that are here this afternoon to share their experience:

Здраво сончеви зраци, фамилијата од заедницата сака да искаже некои импресии. Досега бевме зафатени со уживање во секој момент овде, преточување на креативноста во активност, јадење вкусна храна, пеење и смеење, создавање на се попријатно место, грижата околу баба Елка и нејзините пријателки... Многу нешта за да би ги опишала само јас, Маја. Им препуштам на останатите кои се тука попладнево да го споделат своето искуство.

Well…. Coming here on the first day was an unexpected coincidence, the place was bit run down and everywhere there was plenty of work to do. But since the beginning we really bonded and the positive energy kept growing up to the point that work did not feel like work, and the laughter and happiness became overwhelming. Things have changed a lot in 4 weeks, but the understanding and love was there from the first day. We have seen lots of people coming and going and everyone in their own way made a lasting impression in each and everyone of us. This is a very sustainable and alternative way of living, a great way to try something different. I am extremely sad in leaving this place, but so happy to have been a part of it. I really hope to be back here soon and to see how the community develops. I send all the positive energy I have and the best positive regards for this community to keep up the spirit that is usually forgotten of loving and understanding each other. Hasta la victoria siempre!
Hernan Corizzo (Argentinian hermano, stayed one month, since the first day in the community)

Па вака.... Да бидам овде уште од првиот ден беше неочекувана случајност, местото беше малку во руини и насекаде имаше многу нешта за работа. Но уште од почетокот ние вистински се сврзавме и позитивната енергија продолжи да нараснува се до еден момент кога работата веќе не се чувствуваше како работа, а смеата и среќата се преливаа. Многу нешта се сменија за 4 недели, но разбирањето и љубовта присуствуваа уште од првиот ден. Запознавме многу луѓе што доаѓаа и заминуваа и секој од нив на свој начин остави долготраен впечаток во секој од нас. Оваа е многу себеодржувачки и алтернативен начин на живот, одличен начин да пробаш нешто различно. Екстремно сум тажен што ќе си одам од местово, но многу среќен што сум дел од сето. Вистински се надевам дека ќе се вратам наскоро за да видам како напредува заедницата. Ја испраќам сета позитивна енергија што ја имам и најпозитивните желби за оваа заедница да го оддржува духот кој често се заборава, за меѓусебна љубов и разбирање.Hasta la victoria siempre!

Хернан Корицо, Аргентинско братче, остана еден месец во заедницата


I was just passing by, because every creature in the forest is talking about you and this place! I wanted to see with my own eyes, because what they say is incredible. And its true! You’re really living altogether, people from all over the world, sharing and enjoying love and friendship. You were very kind with me. You didn’t hurt me. You welcomed me as a friend, talked to me, offered food…Thank u very much!
Love, your friend

Јас само си наминав, бидејќи секое едно суштество во шумата зборува за тебе и за ова место! Сакав да видам со свои очи, зашто тоа што тие го велеа беше неверојатно. И навистина! Вие навистина живеете сите заедно, луѓе од сите страни на светот, споделувате и уживате во љубов и пријателство. Вие бевте многу добри со мене. не ме повредивте. Ме пречекавте како пријател, зборувавте со мене, ме нагостивте... Многу ви благодарам!

Ве сака, вашиот пријател

I have never felt so comfortable + welcome as I do here – mnogo mnogo Love. I really feel we have found a home + we will be back, many times. I would love to stay - this
Place seems is the center, a place of humans being humans with nothing to get in the way…only curious policia who give u sweets. I hope this place grows strong + healthy like volcanic avocadoes. I will miss you, I do already. Thank you

Eva (she blessed this place with her goddess voice)

Никогаш не сум се чувствувала толку удобно и добредојдено како овде. Многу многу љубов. Навистина чувствувам дека си најдовме дом и ќе се вратиме, уште многу пати. Би сакала да останам, ова место се чини како да е центарот, место каде луѓето можат да бидат луѓе без ништо да им попречува по патот... освен љубопитни полицајци кои ти даваат бомбони. Се надевам местово ќе расне цврсто и здраво како вулканки авокадо. Ќе ми недостасувате, веќе ми недостасувате. Ви благодарам

Ева, ни го благослови местото со нејзиниот боженствен глас

After three days here in the early days of this wonderful community I can already see that u have planted the seeds of love and positivity in this land from which only wonderful things will grow. Thank u so much for welcoming us into your home, and for letting us make it our home too! I wish u all the best of luck with everything, I will be back to visit in a year or two and I can’t wait to see all of your dreams become a reality here. You are surrounded by wonderful and inspirational people, working hard, eating well, and laughing and singing around the fire in the evening. It’s so beautiful here.

And what about the moon?

По само три дена овде, на сам почеток на оваа прекрасна заедница, веќе можам да видам дека имате посеано семе на љубов и позитива во оваа земја од која ќе никнуваат само прекрасни нешта. Ви благодариме зашто не примивте во вашиот дом и што ни дозволивте да си го направиме и наш дом! Ви посакувам многу среќа во се, јас ќе се вратам да ве посетам за година или две и едвај чекам да ги видам сите ваши соништа како се исполнуваат тука. Опкружена си со прекрасни и инспиративни луѓе, работат вредно, јадат добро, се смеат и пеат во ноќите покрај огнот. Толку е убаво овде.

А што со месечината?

The truth gathering

Namaste sunny rays,

there is energy flowing into our dream, people are already buying their tickets, getting ready to join the alternative way of living.

The beautiful information came to us, thanks to Emily Milli moonlight :) about a world wide Gathering of Truth http://worldgathering.net/global.html so we think the idea is amazing, the truth should be spoken, the hearts should melt and find the understanding and love between all the beings. So u, who are coming, will be part of knowing more about the truth of Emilly, Ram, Suzie, Francy, Maja and many other creatures we are shearing the world with... Lets open up the spirit of Freeeee

Насмеани Донации *** HAPPY DONATIONS

Hey blissful family, I know you are all waiting for news, pictures, updates....

The bath that we need to make for the winter, it will also ask for some donations and the idea is to make a turkish bath (amam) with fire place and one big bath tub made of natural materials, stone or wood we will see with the locals. For this we need 2000 euros, to make it proper and long-lasting. We have a small real Turkish structure for this reason, just a good repair to fix the walls, the roof and floor, the foundation is there, the Turkish people did it 100 years ago :)

The solar panels that we want to install require a sum around 1 000euros to cover the needs of the community, or if someone knows how to build one can come and we can make them together.

There is other house 100years old, that is waiting a turn for repair, that one can host 10 people. As soon as we provide the money to repair it, can be used for this winter and have a capacity of 20 people in winter conditions in the community. But this house needs more work and maybe around 5000euros for a quality materials.

How can u help make this home of everyone growing in a self-sustainable way:

Here is one: we have a bank account for any donations, all of you that support this project and can see the benefit of it, here are some ways:

monetary donations, green energy

you can transfer money using this informations

STOPANSKA BANKA AD SKOPJE

SWIFT: STOBMK 2X

name and surname of beneficiary VESNA TRAJKOVSKA

id broj:2025908

account number

IBAN mk07200001569900857

We are in process of making a PayPal account too, just Macedonia is not on their list and we are considering other ways and ideas..

Pale of blankets, kitchen stuff have been donate by Nikola, thanks to him we can have more people in the cold periods, :) warm storm

Many other ideas are coming too as:

In September we hope to arrange a theater free of charge and open the stage for anyone who wants to donate art and help us moving on. People can show their talents in theater, music, dance, art, photography, food and drinks, movies, clothes, other performing forms and jam sessions...

It can be as the open stage in Sadhana Forest, for the people who have been there, and we can explain the purpose of the donations and our vision for the community, we will put a happy donation box and be content with whatever the world is offering. So thats a very joyful way to keep us all involved and evolve in the dream of happiness..... It will need a bit of organisation and many positive heads together...

Other ideas for donations

YES lets find the way with ease and beauty

Questions and the moon

- What do I need to bring if I decide to come? And what about the moon?

-Well u can bring a tent, sleeping bag, some extra tool that u don't use, take some shells if u live on the shore so we can make nice jeweleries, pebbles too, all kind of things that u fell will be of the use. Seeds that we can grow, like stivia (Im not sure if I got this right) its a plant that we can use instead of sugar, the four season weather its around Europe, so probably the seeds from there will be ok. Bring ur positivity, ideas, creativity, your full power. And the moon is full these days too. The ruins of lunar cities stretch for many kilometers. Huge domes on massive basements, numerous tunnels, and other constructions ....

- What is your plan in the economical matter? And what about the moon?

- I will just correct little and say our plan, but in order to make it our I will tell u how is the situation at the moment. So we don't really have founding yet, as I wrote in the other part of this blog there are ideas how to make our self sustainable and comfortable with the money situation. So for now we don't have so much food, we have a land without food, there are some fruits and nuts, some little veges maybe, otherwise we will need to donate some money all together to eat ssomething, I don't think there will be hungry people. The prana is available always. The local market is all around us and much cheaper then the rest of the country. As soon as we get together we can develop the ideas and earn the money we need to grow in our dreams coming true. If someone have an idea how to make a link of an account for donations, that friends can support us, it can be a start? And the moon... colorful....A transparent dome raised above the crater edge was discovered near the crater Copernicus on the Moon. The dome is unusual, as it is glows white and blue from the inside.

- Is it expensive in Macedonia? And the moon?

- So here are some calculations for comparison
1 Eur = 61,3 mac. denari
1 us $ = 49,7 mac denari
1 GBP = 71,9 mac denari
1 INR = 1,07 mac denari
So basically you can compare with India most correctly, the water is free! About the moon... this circle I couldn't believe its possible, night before the monsoon rains started this year... magnificent
















- When will you be back in Macedonia? And how is the moon coming there?

- I will be back at the beginning of July, group of people are coming in end of July beginning of August, the rest of the people for the opening ceremony on 10th September, and after also. Lets say from July on, people will be coming. So the first group of people that will gather we will be working on some houses that are there not in a very livable situation, we will be repairing them and preparing the place for the opening ceremony, probably planting too, whatever we can in that season. And the moon is coming on a giant flying spoon..












- Do you have yet some ideas about how you want to build the house ? (i mean which technique you prefer) and if you have already some funds to begin the build in august or some materials... And where is the mmmm....

- Yes we have many ideas, but for the curent situation its nice to start from the houses that we already have. The houses are mainly build of stone and earth, wood and Clay. The local market can offer straw bale too. I cant recall precisely how are the houses at the moment, but when we are there I believe the ideas will just flow. My father and grandfather are also great mechanics and they can help us, as they were mainly building their own houses. The funds, yes this is a tricky point for the beginning. I have some little savings and as soon as I go to Macedonia I will try to raise some funds in different ways, if we can all think about it and put as much as we can, I think we wont need extreme sums. The idea with the on line donation bank account is nice, we can start as soon as possible, if someone knows how to do that, i have account that we can open for that reason, so anyone? Hmmmmmmm mmmmm...

Ideas*workshops*ways

Fantasy is the limit, creativity the power, improvisation-life!


Someone told me that Im not very clear in this blog, with what I write, so I will try to be as simple as possible now.
We want to make a self-sustainable community, so we need to pick up some tools for growing in this way.

*Permaculture workshop
There are some people, who are teaching permaculure, interested in coming and helping us to understand the land and use it as functional as possible. Nothing confirmed yet, I also have been to a permaculture course, got some experience in Sadhana Forest community, I have some nice written materials we can work with. If u have a friend who is permaculturist, would like to come and give as a workshop will be great, or any kind of helpful books that u can bring with you, its all great contribution for us and the land. Biodynamic agriculture and gardening its a great way to reach the full power of the giving nature. I have no experience with it, hope to find the book "Secrets of the soil" people say its magical one, if u have it bring it, magic is most welcome :)

*Communication
Non-violent communication trainer, an amazing friend Jason, is coming from 10th September to give us a week workshop. I think its a beautiful opening for the group, its getting closer to the feelings and needs of the individual and the whole. He also have knowledge in Sociocracy, which teaches a way to lead the community space for making decisions, agreements, leading meetings, based on principles that we can decide as a whole. We will see then, he is a funny guy, lots of silly games on the way. Looking forward for it.
Thanks Jason!

*Time
What about time? Now that we have the choice to pick up a calendar that we want, to live in co ordinance with, what do we want? There is a connection already made with a community that is living with the Tzolkin calendar, one of the Mayans calendars. U can check and tell me what do u think about it http://www.maya-portal.net/ I wrote them an e-mail and they send us back a beautiful response, willing to come and give us assistance in the use of the calendar in coordinance with the moon and the land. Its a calendar with soul, inspirit, alive. If u have other suggestion be free to say it here.

*Money
Hmmmm... There are many ideas about it. We can make lots of hand crafts, candles, soaps, music instruments, hammocks, performances.... We have friends organizing festivals, so we can put our products out there on the happy market. We can also produce organic food, for the future, organic fruits and veg´s, jams, teas, oils... and sell them on local markets. Other beautiful opportunity is to make a space for retreat and open it for people at some months of the year, offering yoga, meditation, healing circles, permaculture courses... We can make festivals as well, alternative arts, music, film festivals, it sounds great fun. We can also exchange with the locals or who knows what will open as an idea. Lets be creative and not worry about money.

*Shearing the space
Something came up, to invite Vipassana center, to give them a space and let them make a Vipassana courses on the land, Im going to meet the responsible vipassanist at end of June and talk about it. Other idea, making our meditation center and inviting teachers and masters of different meditation stiles for workshops, its even more cunning, so what do u think about it?
There is an idea of making a Rainbow land and inviting the rainbow family to have its own space any the time of the year available, we can be creative inside with all the power of the rainbow miracles, colorfulness.
Children´s land, that's a beautiful idea, open to all the children all the time to spread their fantasy, create their world with our help. We can leave that piece in their hands and trust them fully. Smiles and joy.
Nature Healing space, an Ayurovedic doctor from Kerala, India, is willing to come and see the land and make a space for healing. He is working with indian traditional way of healing, roots, plants, great massager and friend. The time he is not here we can continue in the same spirit to make some magic healing medicines and invite local elders to wispier us the green secrets.

*The Name
Nameovski, coming up with a name, right on the spot there... sounds good?

Bliss and bless

Where is Macedonia?

This is the question Im answering all the time on this travelings, as Tristan, a friend who sits next to me now says, behind the tree left, you just go and explore!
So behind the tree u can find this small unspoiled country with her 2 million people, living a moderate life, between the European model for development and the Indian feeling for being free and living in the moment. Everyone should experience with his own seances.
The village, we have the land in, is in the east of the country, called Star (Old) Istevnik, just some older people are breathing with the earth there, from time to time on holidays people from other places around gather, share some music, food, laugh... Rest of the time is shanty shanty.
The nearest town is called Delcevo, 11 500 people in their houses living their lives, from the town to the village its 15km. There is a local bus once a day I think.
The weather, its changing all year long, special in every season, springs colourful, everything garden !
Summer cool, we have a small river we can jump in, its much cooler then other parts of the country, everything power!
Autumn yellow, getting colder toward end of October, all the people are making Aivar (traditional dish), its a delish!
Winter, ups cold yeah white, snow, fire and chestnuts, hibernation inspiration!
For the visa situation, the country is not very touristic, so its easy to come and stay, you should check with the local authorities for your country, but it shouldn't be any problem. If u need some kind of letter just let me know.
When you are coming you can chose many ways how to do it, I suggest by horse, specially the unicorns, or flying carpets, we can park them on the roof and no pollution, if u like more the planes then u better land in Sofia, Bulgaria, its cheaper and there are many buses to Macedonia, in some hours you are there. If u want to hitchhike or come by bus, train, depends from where u are coming, the roads are smooth, easy to slide here.
The standard is much lower compare to the countries in the EU, I think u will be comfortable with the prices. This area is even cheaper, as most of the things are local, there is a local market twice a week in the town. Its not a polluted area, it does need some reforestation and water conservation, that's great because we can do it.
The locals doesn't speak English, the young population is happy to speak English, the people are very warm hearted, love celebrations, festivals, fun and very hospitable. The nearest biggest mountain is Golak, there is a lake too, not so near, maybe an hour drive.
I will go for a juice now, see u there!
