"The Baca: Place of Many Promises"
Denver Post Magazine - 2/3/85
“For years local prophets said that something very particular would happen at the Baca Grande, a stretch of magnificent landscape in the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. They said it would become a Mecca for people seeking enlightenment from all over the world. They said it would be a retreat for modern-day mystics, a place to come and explore new possibilities for life on earth. Others scoffed at the idea….No matter, argued the prophets. The Baca, they claimed was a ‘power point’ on the surface of the globe, a special location with special energy that would attract the spiritually inclined and help them find transcendence. The land had a life all its own and would create something new, something unimaginable and astounding."
“Thinkers, Healers. Seekers Are Reaching for the sky at the Baca”
Boulder Daily Camera - 8/21/81
“The magnificent setting in southern Colorado lends itself to open-ended dreams on a grand scale. They involved the creation of an intellectual, cultural and spiritual community. And it is expected to provide both a post-industrial model for ordinary living and a center of inspiration and experimentation aimed at evolving a harmonious marriage between technology and ecology.”
“A Sacred Space”
Denver Post - 7/28/91
“For hundreds of years, the Navajo have called San Luis Valley “Bloodless Valley” because wars have never been fought here. They believe Blanca Peak (Sisnaajini), at the end of the valley, is one of the four sacred mountains of their ancestral land. There is an ancient Hopi prophecy that in the time of the purification ----when the earth is crumbling ----people of spirit from all over the world will gather here.”
