Visual Story Telling. New Healing Art Adventures in AndalucĂa Spain. Creativity always finds a way.

After their winter, and before ours..
Very excited.
My partner in Peru, Wider, who took this photo, is about to return to the high mountains with the news we have money to buy animals for the families in the area we are committed to help. Due to a devastatingly severe winter they lost most of their sheep, goats, chickens, and guinea pigs.
Wider will hike for three days to reach the families, then return to Ollantaytambo with some of the men to buy the animals. The rainy season is about to start. It will be a hard journey. Wider grew up on the street of his village. With huge respect for his ancestors, he is committed to helping his indigenous brothers and sisters, as he calls them, preserve their ancient way of life.
I am privileged to help him do this by sending money I earn from selling my paintings and running retreats.
For the second time, a Danish artist Heidrun Sorenson has generously donated money as well.
'When we help other people it puts a smile on their faces and a glow in our hearts.' Washi Gibaja.
True.
