Our Home-Away-From-Home!

Hello readers! Simon and Jenny here to tell you all about our wonderful home-away-from-home for the next week: La Casa Mariposa. 

Apparently it's really sunny in Arizona!

Situated in the quaint neighborhood of Armory Park in Tucson, AZ, Casa Mariposa has four permanent residents, and open rooms available to activists and people just released from detention facilities across Arizona. Casa Mariposa is part of an intentional community that seeks to, "nourished and empowered by the spirit, live in right relationship with one another the community and the earth, through hospitality, peaceful and prophetic action, simple and sustainable living, and playful spirituality."  

This is Rachel, one of our group leaders. She lives at Casa Mariposa year-round.

It is truly a beautiful space: fully furnished, with a beautiful screened-in porch, a cozy living room, and copious amounts of EXCELLENT organic food. 

Simon eagerly shares his phone number with the group.

As a side note, the backyard houses some adorable chickens and two dogs (Houston and Rocket). 

*Shout-out to McKinley for these BEAUTIFUL pictures!
