Primero de todo, NO VIVO EN MEDELLIN CIUDAD, vivo en las bonitas montañas de santa elena, que queda a una horita de medellin (salen buses directos para ahi todo el rato), donde descansa la gente consciente que se canso de la locura de medellin.

I DONT LIVE IN MEDELLIN CITY, i live in the beautiful mountains around it (there is direct buses to the city all the time), here is where the conscient people live that got tired of city life.

Escribiré en inglés porque va dirigido a todo el mundo, pero si no lo entiendes o no se te da bien no dudes en escribirme y aclarar tus preguntas en español.

To make a long story short, ive been travelling a lot the past years and i reached the conclusion that sometimes its important to settle down a bit to process and maybe do something with the things youve learned. I always used couchsurfing, exchange networks, volunteerings and all that to move around and i always said that when i settle down i will host people as well.. you always have to make your contribution to the tribe ;)

The creativity vortex is open to all kinds of people, i think its not necessary to say that it doesnt matter what is your lifestyle or idelologies, the only important thing is that you share this same vision or you wanna learn from it. I look for people that believe in creativity as the motor for transformation, of ourselves and the world. Im not only talking about art, music or all this stuff that creativity is associated to nowadays, im talking about creativity as a part of you, as a part of your personality, your being, in all the aspects of your life. Because when you are creativ you are taking out your naked self, your subconscious, you are acting from spontaneity which is always going to be from your true inside, and this is going to lead you to more self understanding which is going to guide you to self realization (which is what all the humans are actually seeking for but they wrongly fill that gap with a lot of other stuff to keep on living).

I can keep on talking about this philosophy and his benefits for hours but we better do that once you are here.. So im not looking just for people that come here to sleep or have a free stay, im looking for activ people that bring ideas or that want to work, develop or share experiences, knowledge, plans, or that just want to learn or investigate about certain topics. This is a place that encourages all kinds of creative expression and its open to everything. Thats why its a vortex, it should be a permanent flow of ideas, experiences, people, but all turning around the same idea, to make this world a more awakened place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well making honor of my philosophie im actually interested in so many things that i think its impossible to make a list.. 

lets start with healing, which is my main area of interest, personally im going to start transpersonal psychologie studies next year so im reading and studying a lot about that topic, but of course healing includes a lot of other things.. for example yoga and all types of alternative therapies and spiritual knowledge.
Here in Santa Elena there is a awesome yoga teacher i go to 3 days a week and i practice at home as well.. also i know some classes in Medellin that are amazing, i can take you if you are interested, i also know lots of places where they offer free guided meditation, mantra singing, speaches about all kind of spiritual transformation. I also love all kinds of sport and cause i live here in the nature there is many cool possibilities around that topic. I also can connect you to all kind of classes of circus, acrobatics, dancing, capoeira, etc. I personally like juggling, akro yoga and aerial acrobatics and i go regularly to events or classes.

I love to play music.. all kinds of instruments.. i personally learned to play through feeling not with theoretical knowledge so im very into experimental music and new concepts of playing. I mostly do percussion, i have a djembe and bongos, and a few crazy mouthharps, but i also love to sing and write my own stuff. Of course here there is a lot of musicians and people that make instruments as well and we can meet up to play.. im also having some classes with a crazy teacher that im also happy to bring you with.. there is also a place with open mic every friday. Im also very interested in everything around music as a source of healing.. which i think it already is.

Around this topic we can also not forget all the ancestral knowledge that we have in this beautiful continent and that we should learn from.. here where i live there is all kinds of ceremonies that i go to, and of course im happy to take you with me, and also maybe give you information sources about this kind of events in all colombia.

Then of course health in the kitchen.. im up for all kinds of experimental vegetarian cooking and diets, as well as types of fasting and cleansing, im looking forward to improve in that area.. i personally make sprouts and try to make all kinds of products myself, like coconut oil, ghee, etc even my own toothpaste, my goal is to learn how to make everything myself. Also im starting with the garden, i already have a lot of types of plants and vegetables and i would love to learn more about that area. Right now im studying the moon cycle according to the growing.. cause we are building up a project with children which is called "agro arte" and mixes up all this concepts with art and nature. If you like to work with children and you wanna help out or have something to contribute you are most welcome.

Well as i told you before my list is unendless so lets stop here but so you know that i can basically connect you to probably everything and specially artistic stuff that you are interested in cause this place in the mountains is pretty alternativ.

I can also give you information about all kinds of tours.. right next door my neighbours do alternative tours with a van in the city and different places.. i know some cool tours focused on connecting with nature, projects to volunteer, etc etc. I can connect you also pretty good to stuff related to this topics in bogota.

If you travel selling your art or products or want to do it or you need money here there in the mountains is a really good place to do that. There is a lot of artesanal markets, where also lots of tourists go to, cause we are next to the parque Arvi, which is the most important natural park here in the area of medellin, so lots of things happening here and good spots to sell all kinds of stuff. Im starting a artesanal bread project with a friend in another village close to medellin so im going there regularly to help him out and as always you are also most welcome to help out and maybe if you also want to make some money we can talk about some deals.

I think we could discuss if this is related to healing or not haha but there is a lot of electronic party in the city and interesting underground ;)

Okey, so to conclude, as you can see i took time to explain you everything i have to offer to you.. so i expect you to write me also a bit about your interests and why you wanna come here and what do you have to offer.. cause this life is about exchange.

Any further questions please write me! also if you just wanna meet up or you need some info.. you can also contact me on facebook https://www.facebook.com/triana.sieben
