From the heart of the Andes

While the bread is in the oven, i would like to tell you about Manora and Kalana Gerber. i had the fortune of taking photos for their web site back in 2007. Manora and Kalana left Germany and came to start a new life in Mendoza, Argentina with the guidence of their espiritual teacher. they left family, good jobs and Euro in order to establish and operate "centro de luz de los Andes" (center of light of the Andes), an espiritual center where people can learn about Feng-Shui, meditate, participate in seminars, take individual healing sessions and more. following the divine destiny given to them and not speaking the language, they had to endure a beaurocratic adventure, doing it all with a wide optimistic smile on their faces. Manora and Kalana became dear friends to me to whom i keep a very special corner in my heart.


The center is located in Mendoza, Argentina's capital of grape and wine. 900 mts. above sea level, at the feet of the Andes, Mendoza is an oasis in the desert caused by the rain shadow. annual rain fall is between 150 - 200 mm. and the city uses water that runs down from the mountains from melting snow and glaciers running in a system of channels that was built and first used by the native Indians centuries ago. the channels bring water to the rest of the province sometimes as far as 300 kms. from the mountain ranges. Mendoza enjoys an avarage of 330 sunny days a year, dry climate, beautiful surroundings, friendly people, cheap, good wines and more.
