It´s that time of year again and the Kiya team are hard at it sourcing fabulous items, experiences and gifts for our annual Christmas fund raiser!
So, get browsing, be ready to bid and help us raise funds for our recently opened Mama Cocha centre in Mancora.
Mama Cocha provides Physiotherapy; Speech therapy; Occupational and emotional therapy and Psychological support for children with learning difficulties and disabilities in Mancora and surrounding villages, in the Piura region of Peru.
The project supports families who do not have the resources to pay for medical and rehabilitation treatments and are living under the poverty line.
Currently the centre provides therapy to 25 patients and 47 carers and children through workshops, home visits and psychological support.
However, we currently have a waiting list of 15 children. Please bid generously as all donations from this event will go directly towards funding for staff to ensure no child gets left behind and our waiting list becomes a patients list.
THANK YOU!!

It’s her way of weaving beauty into this world with her hands, heart, and intentions.

At seventeen, Chris Stewart, the first drummer for the rock group Genesis, left the band and launched a career that included stints as a sailor, a sheep shearer, and a travel writer. And he has no regrets.
If he'd become a rock star, he might never have moved with his wife, Ana, to El Valero, a mountain farm in Andalucía, Spain, studded with olive, almond, and lemon groves -- but with no access road, water supply, or electricity. He might never have forged the friendship of a lifetime with his resourceful neighbor Domingo. He might never have had the adventures that resulted in both hilarious disasters and blissful serendipity. He might never have experienced the satisfying complexity of a simple life lived in one of Europes's most beautiful regions, among peasants, farmers, ex-pats, New Age travelers, and a growing family, or come to understand a place and its people with such depth and affection. And certainly Stewart, the eternal optimist, would never have written this delectable book and made us his utterly captivated audience.
Chris has kindly donated a lovely hard back copy of his wonderful book, a perfect Christmas present!

Patty lives in Mancora and is the Kiya Volunteer groups yoga teacher when we are in Mancora working at the Mama Cocha centre. She helps us stay focussed and grounded before we head to the centre to work.
She is mother of two, and passionate about sports, nature, and healthy living. She´s been a yoga teacher for 10 years and is a truly fabulous teacher.
¨In yoga, I found the union of my two paths of constant searching: optimizing the body and the spiritual quest. In each class, I aim to convey not only conscious movement but also to delve into the deeper layers of this beautiful philosophy of life.
See you on the mat

Emily's passion for her work is based on people accessing their fullest potential by connecting to their fullest expression of self. Breaking down what may have held us back and stepping forwards and upwards into a a beautiful expansion of our lives.
Using a variety of breath-work techniques you will find tools that help you move through your days with more ease and flow. On longer journeys with the breath you can delve deeper into the power that is within YOU accessed through the simple yet powerful breath.
Breath-work is an amazing way to drop down from the mind and into the body. Our incredible, beautiful bodies. The breath gives us a way to quickly and easily move from the conscious to the unconscious and open the doors to what lays within us. Opening these doors means moving beyond the self and social limits expanding to our fullest, most tangible life experience.
What often causes our general discomfort in life is not fully being who we want to be, living how we want to live, not risking enough or being as creative as we want to be. We can be held back by both fear and numbness and the way out of this is through it.
She wants to help you see it all, to reveal it, revel in it, rage in it, weep in it, celebrate it, rejoice in it, feel the whole thing, that is the way to get there!
She creates a safe space for you to drop into your bodies, for your embodiment from the inside out, to express it and deepen your connection to your Self and to all of the beauty of life around you.

This is an original piece by artist: Art by Andynamitt (A.M.), in Salobreña, Spain
It is Mixed Media & Halo Paste on cotton canvas 30 X 24 cm; there are integrated red LEDs – activated from the back of the canvas.
In this piece, the cosmic vastness becomes a gentle whisper of light — a constellation emerging through a veil of glowing embers. Each brushstroke reflects the silent dance between distance and connection, darkness and radiance, echoing the fragile beauty of the universe and the resilience of the human spirit.
Constellation: Scorpius – The Scorpion
Visible in the southern sky, Scorpius is one of the brightest constellations in our galaxy. Its red heart, Antares, burns fiercely among a trail of stars shaped like a celestial scorpion. In ancient mythology, it was said to have chased Orion across the heavens — a timeless symbol of courage, mystery, and cosmic balance.
A unique gift for someone special this Christmas!

1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.
