Our Gratitude for the Many Souls

---

Tremendous recognition and gratitude go to Arnos's parents. None of this would have been possible without Hans and Hildegard's funding for its purchase and upgrading, all of it, always, in great love and appreciation.

 Great thanks to Rachel Gross, Shira's sister, for creating this webpage. You bent over backwards to do it exactly as we wanted and in doing so with your persistence and passion and sense of humor, at times moved mountains. You also contributed many great ideas.  

Anne Suffert, our dear friend, your wealth of photos made this so expansively possible. You gave without asking, out of your love for photography and us <3. And your perseverance in getting that drone up in the air and making it work! 

A continual wave of gratitude to Alfonso our gardener and the heart of Arca de Noe (HOiY) who couldn't be more dedicated, always ready to execute our wishes with so much love and joy. And to Cristobal, the man with the largest extended family ever:-), always having someone to solve anything and everything at HOiY from digging to plumbing and available always.

 And dear Jennifer Millar and Existence that our paths have crossed and for all the deep wisdom and incredible dedication to the Divine and truth and honesty that you share with us. It is with great joy we share HOiY with you. 

And back to the beginnings: dear Maria Ana who has brought so much love and organization and her full dedication to us, originally our real estate agent and now our friend, helping still in so many areas. And Theo who jumped in and helped us in the founding first couple of years of HOiY bringing his financial help, excitement, vision and readiness for connection. And then Vladimir our Bulgarian power house, never giving up, always completely dedicated with humor and expertise and a voice and his troupe around him - all with a work ethic not to be beat!

 Essentially it was and is a work of many little LOVE bugs who flit around making everything work with a sense of positiveness and a love for life and always an eye on the solution. Our gratitude cannot be expressed in these few words. We see and feel your love and generosity all the time. 

Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. 

Shira and Arno
