Overview

A - Waterpump

About 50 meters into the jungle there is a deep well that starts at point A. This is clean water that is pumped out of the earth. It includes 2 filters at this location.

B - Sitting place covered by trees.

This is the location where you will do the smoke bath and also the interview with mama Aline. It is a waterproof building with a 4 x 3 meter mosquito net.

C - This is the future location of the incinerator.

Here trash will be burned once a month. Because of the health implications, the incinerator has a good filter to reduce harmful particles.

D - Main Temple

This is the location where the ceremonies will take place.

E - Washing lines

Behind the main house, you can dry your clothe

F - Main house

Here you will sleep. There are 4 rooms with 4 x 3 meter mosquito nets. In the future also 2 rooms with air conditioning. It also has a kitchen and a sitting place.

G - Washing machine and water filters

This room is where the washing machine is located and also where the waterline from the well enters. This waterline is connected here with a 3 step filter including a UV filter and carbon filter. The waterpump has a 20 liter reserve plus a 50 meter waterline, that gives enough reserve pressure to fill a couple of water bottles. But a shower will trigger the pump automatically on. The UV light will be on as long as there is power available. Make sure power is on when drinking water as this kills all bacteria.

H - Shower

The shower has UV protected drinkable water and is non-heated, but the water temperature is around 25 degrees. The pump delivers enough pressure for a normal shower.

I - Toilet

The toiletroom will be mosquito proof. Also installed with water, so do not use toilet paper but use water. Flushing also as normal, but you need to turn on the power first in room G.

J - Mosquito free Sitting place

This sitting place is about 4 x 9 meters and is protected by 2 large mosquito nets spanning 3 x 8 meters. This is a place for relaxation, listening to music and have dinner.

K - Chicken House

Because the chickens are very good at eating the furu's (small mosquitoes) we love them, plus they give us eggs and meat. But they also have natural predators, like snakes so they need a protected building to sleep.

L - Generator

In case the powerlines do not give us energy, we have a silent backup generator. Silent, but still making noise, hence we placed it behind the old toilet about 30 meters away from buildings.

M - Future path to the river

This will be the future path to the river where you can relax and cool down. Here you can swim naked and enjoy the nature. Do not swim before 10 AM or after 5 PM because of mosquitoes. This future path will be covered with iboga plants. For now you can use the main road to get to this relaxing spot. There will also be a small structure to put your clothes and towel.

N - Dissumba temple

Here most likely will be the future location of the dissumba temple. A dissumba temple has a different construction compared to a normal Bwiti temple.

O - Drinking water

Tap water. Make sure the power is available for the UV light. If the UV light is broken, an alarm will sound. If you like it cool, you can fill a water bottle and place it in the fridge in the kitchen of Building F.

P - Hog farming

A couple of hogs are enjoying the deep forest in an enclosed area between the river and the village.

A picture taken in january 2024 when the construction of the new house was taking place. Left the main house with the shower and toilet in front and to the right the 2 other houses. No sitting place nor chicken house yet here. Below you can see the progress...
