✨ Help Us Build the Anaconda Temple ✨
-A new Temple just a short walk from the Mystical Yoga Farm

Hey beautiful beings! It’s Jah Hendo & Sunny with some of the Farmily here as well! Writing from the heart to share something really special with you.

We’re co-creating a sacred new ceremonial space just a short walk from the Mystical Yoga Farm — and we need your support to make it happen.

Our dear brother (7-cup) Scott, who’s been part of our journey for many years, recently purchased a lush piece of land just 10 minutes by foot from MYF. The land is called Sol Alegria, which means Sun and Joy — and that’s exactly the energy we’re anchoring here ☀️

Together, we’re building a temple on this land — a cosmic egg-shaped sanctuary for medicine ceremonies, ancestral wisdom, devotional music, and deep healing. We’re calling it Templo da Jiboia (The Anaconda Temple) — a name that honors the sacred serpent, the wisdom of the jungle, and the transformational journeys we’ll hold inside.

Why Our Current Ceremony Spaces Aren’t Cutting it!
As many of you know, we’ve been holding ceremonies for years at MYF in Jaguar Hall. While it’s been beautiful, it’s not ideal for the deep work we’re doing:

  • No fire place.
  • Rectangular shape limits energetic flow.
  • Posts in the center further limit space.
  • Not enough space for everyone to dance, which is big part of our work.
  • Not ideal at all to host our indigenous friends like the Yawanawa, Huni Kuin, and Huichol tribe.
  • Awkward bathroom stairs.
  • Limited scheduling due to overlapping retreats, meaning we can only schedule ceremonies in between MYF retreats, which is very limited.

Why We’re Building This Temple

This new temple will change everything. It’s far enough from MYF that the sound won’t overlap, but close enough to walk back easily after the ceremony. It gives us the space and freedom to offer deeper work — from regular ceremonies with Sunny & Jah, to weekend retreats and gatherings with guest facilitators and indigenous elders from the Yawanawá, Huni Kuin, and Wixarika nations. We want to more regularly host our teachers and friends doing good medicine work, and offer a safe space for people to offer medicine work in Lake Atitlan. Our temple will be the only temple in Atitlan with an enclosed space AND a fire inside! It will also have the highest max capacity of any other space in the area, which is ideal for when the indigenous come!

The Temple Design:
  • Cosmic egg shape
  • 11m x 14m — space for 40 people in the ceremony, comfortably. 50 max cap!
  • Chakana mosaic with a floor window for crystals + Mayan artifacts.
  • Fireplace with chimney — Grandfather Fire available for prayers and transmutation!
  • Plenty of space to dance ~ YIPPEE!
  • Hardwood floors, adobe and stone walls.
  • Circular windows to invite the jungle light.
  • Outdoor deck, jungle garden, and chill space.
  • Sacred geometry, Fibonacci ratios, solar/lunar alignments.
  • Small kitchen, storage for instruments, mats, tea station.
  • Powered by solar — with sound system, lighting, bathrooms, and forest paths connecting it all.

This will be the primary ceremonial space for Sunny and Jah to offer our deepest work — and a home for teachers and healers from around the world to gather and serve.

How You Can Help — And Why Every Offering Matters:

When we first dreamed up this temple, the budget was around $70–100k — and our dear brother Scott generously offered to cover that himself. Then as the vision grew — with more details, more intention, and more heart — the cost naturally increased.

Now, to build this temple with the beauty, safety, and sacred energy it deserves, we’re looking at: $150,000 for the temple itself and $20,000 for solar, bathrooms, lighting, sound, and infrastructure.

Scott is still covering a large portion — about $50k to $70k — which is a huge support. That leaves us with $70k–100k to raise through our community.

And this is where you come in.

This temple is not just ours — it belongs to all of us who have gathered here over the years. Every person who has sat in ceremony, shared music, or found healing here is part of this dream.

So from the depths of our hearts...

Every donation counts...

Whether you give $5 or $5,000, your gift makes a difference. It’s part of building this sacred space together. No donation is too small — every bit adds up, and every offering carries intention and support.

This is why community works: many hands and hearts coming together to create something bigger than any one of us.

Beyond the temple itself, this project will positively impact the local community. It will help provide jobs and income for local families, support sustainable ethical building techniques, and create a lot of joy and love in this world.

This temple will be a space that uplifts not just the Farm, but the surrounding area, leaving a positive impact with the local environment, and surrounding locals.

We’ve seen how the Farm has grown because of the love and commitment of the international nomadic community and many who have called this place home. So if you feel called to support, please know that whatever you can give is deeply appreciated.

Together, with all of us contributing in our own way, we will make this dream real.

The positive impact of the space
  • The temple has already provided 10 full time jobs to indigenous workers and 1 permanent position.
  • This temple will open space for our indigenous teachers to work here and support their families and villages.
  • Portions of the profits made in this temple will be donated back to the local village to support music education in churches and schools.
  • The temple will always welcome local Mayan people to join any ceremony free.
  • We will of er special discounts for Latin Americans and BIPOC.
  • We will provide scholarships and discounts to those in need.
  • Everyone who sits in this temple will be inspired to live better lives and create a positive impact on their communities.

Perks & Ways to Support

All donors will receive special perks based on contribution level — from free ceremonies and retreat credits, to private blessings and invitations within the temple once it's complete.

If you’re feeling called to contribute $1,000 or more, message Jah, Sunny, Scott, or Malakai directly! We’re offering special packages that include ceremony credits, extended farm stays, and long-term benefits as a thank-you for anchoring this vision in a big way.

Check out our investment packages here!

From all of us at the MYF — we thank you.

We wouldn’t be here without you. You’ve helped us grow from a spark into a sanctuary, from a few songs by the fire into global gatherings of love, joy, and healing.

This temple is the next evolution.
Let’s build it — together.

With endless love and gratitude,
Jah & Sunny and the Mystical Yoga Farmily.
