Andrea, Ayana, and Damien Wintering In Guatemala

Andrea and Ayana

Andrea Nasca and Damien Schwartz long time members of the Dzogchen Community, recently traveled to Guatemala for a four month stay in the region of Lake Atitlan - considered one of the most beautiful places in South America. They traveled as an entourage of seven people in two wheelchairs with two dogs into the heart of Mayan civilization. 

Together as a family they served as secretary and geko at Tsegyalgar East with their baby daughter Ayana, in tow for many years. Andrea is the US secretary for A.S.I.A. Originally from New Orleans, I have lots of memories of their great outdoor BBQs on Khandroling and at the yellow shcoolhouse--New Orleans style hospitality.
