CULTURAL EXCHANGE TRIPS
Imagine a life where you need to buy nearly nothing.
A life where you grow all your food, and where each meal nourishes your body with the most organic and nutritious ingredients; where you live in harmony with the rhythm of Nature, with each sunrise and each change of the seasons.
Where everyone builds their own houses; where each and every task is done communally, never alone; and where you constantly help others, because according to the belief of Ayni, you always eventually receive more than what you give.
There are great lessons we can learn from the native Amaru people in Peru, especially in these times where many people feel the urge to reconnect with Nature, finding solace in Her amidst the surrounding fear and uncertainty.
And at the same time, the Amaru people are always happy to learn tips and about the culture of their visitors (around themes like business, English, architecture, etc.).
This is why we created Cultural Exchange trips to the Amaru community: what could be more beautiful and fulfilling than learning, sharing, helping, and growing with other human beings, breaking cultural barriers along the way?
