Hare Krishna Ashram

the Hare Krishnas = a Hindu organization where devotees dedicate all of their thoughts and actions to God (Krishna). This is accomplished by constantly speaking, chanting or singing the 'Maha Mantra' (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare...) so he is continuously foremost in their thoughts.

where I come in:

A group of Hare Krishna's built the Eco Truly Ashram outside of Lima, inviting travelers and locals to come volunteer and experience living an eco-self-sustaining-lifestyle.
All vegetarian food, yoga in the morning, volunteering in the afternoons, buckets for toilets :) , kindness and love.
I was also able to take drawing and meditation workshops, make homemade bread and work in the gardens.

WOOHOO, good times and I will diffidently return whenever I need a break from Lima
