Hmmm. Community has to have some diversification in skills, personalities, though the values need to be similar, the human core values, and more aligned with the universal truths and laws of nature that do actually give structure to everything in the universe and on Earth

Sara seems like such a lovely person!! I can’t wait to make my way to Vilcabamba and experience this type of energy firsthand, especially with people like Jesse and Sara. She had such a wonderful way of telling her story that kept me engaged the entire time! Thanks for this great episode
Did you know ONLY King Jesus (ONE God, with 3 parts to Himself: Father/Son/Holy Spirit) gives eternal, new life & spiritual birth to all who've trusted in that He's FULLY paid our eternal penalty of sin, past/present/future & eternal death, separation/punishment in Hell and the Lake of fire and washes us whiter than snow, gives us HIS own NEW HOLY Spirit to live inside us? - Jesus is coming to take only His born-again children home, in possibly as soon as a few months!! I pray that you trust He's already COMPLETED all the work of saving yourself!! Be saved, immediately - NO GOOD WORKS SAVE US! The old law can not save us (Book of Galatians chapter 3, in the "Guidebook of the Supernatural" - THE BIBLE) - it only condemns us in our past, present and future failures to not keep the Old Testament law and also fail to do true, spiritual good (a secret God only reveals to those born of His Spirit and adopted as His child. Only pure faith (holding to God's ALREADY completed work to pay for our own earned sin debt and God's ETERNAL holiness suffered OUR OWN eternal punishment - which would have been eternal death/separation and punishment in the FOREVER lake of Fire - and also our GREAT CREATOR resurrecting HIMSELF from the dead, PROVING He already paid our sin penalty and then adopts us as his Spirit-filled, born-again children). Jesus comes SO SOON to take His bride from the earth, and then HORRIBLE starvation, illness, war & death are coming. God died, was buried in a tomb for 3 full days and nights and was raised to life for YOU!!! You are free, only in Him. Without Him, you SHOULD dread getting older, as you're more accountable each day for how you've chosen to live, as God tells us in Genesis (1st book of the Bible) that He made us all actual KINGS & RULERS of the earth. That's why you and I are held to such a high standard. Believe God came into our world, in a body, nailed ALL our sins to the cross, gave us freedom AND life for our souls! He rose HIMSELF from the grave and he desperately WANTS to FREELY (unearned) give to you HIS completed work of eternal life ... FOREVER.
Tell the men to focus on the real estate, the paperwork and the in's-and-out's of managing the ways to establish a property, house, tools, equipment, repairs, supplies, property improvements, etc. The family, children, culture, religion, customs, etc. is not really a right-brain thing.
Vilc-Vibes is a GREAT! idea. Let the women keep doing the shows. I want to see and as best I can experience the real lifestyle of southern Ecuador. The people, the community, the every life, the talks with expats!, it all gives someone contemplating a move to Ecuador a preparation of the real life they will come to and a more comfortable feel for making the big leap. Sorry, but, the guys really can't do this type pf show. The women beat them hands down and twice on Sundays. Thanks so much. Our current target is Spring '25 or '26 at latest and I already feel like I won't be surprised at the new lifestyle. Our financials are finally progressing to conclusions.
I have reached a point in my life where I have absolute gratitude and I live authentically and in a virtuous manner. These are recipes that I've been handed down for thousands of years and only those who find it shall reap the benefits
Hola mi amigos, pinche guedo here. Long time no hablo. Just letting you girls know. I am in Quito. Yay. Next visit I'll come south. How wonderful this country is. If you ain't here, get here. Mucho Fabuloso. Keep up the great work
Hello from Peru. Great work done by the arquitects and builders in Vilcabamba. As a side note, those beautiful houses and wonderful Vilcabamba might think about being partially / totally self-sufficient in electricity ? This way will be no power outages what is important for living a very comfortable lifestyle and also for small business , specially those that need refrigeration. Here we have micro-hydroelectric plants or wind-turbine. Keywords : mini or ( micro) central hidroelectrica peru / turbina eolica ( aerogenerador ) peru . . . They are building the water turbines as pelton, francis, etc. Also factories of transformers, steel water pipes, valves, flanges, electric wires, bateries, etc.

As I watched this, I, again, realized what an amazing retreat this was! I have made lifelong friends, the retreat itself was very well done and I now live quite happily in Vilcabamba!! Thank God I found these wonderful people!!
Western CULTure has become too much for the majority, the noise which is constant, the authorities overstepping , yes I'm.looking forward to unwinding in a place like Vilca 🙏🏻
Beautiful spot overlooking both towns...far away from it all. Jesse said somthing in one of your videos about not paying attention that much to the news while living there. Hope to see what that feels like. Thank-you Carl
