Why do you want to come to FalconBlanco?
Is the reason because you are looking for an alternative way of life, not being satisfied with what is offered by society? Is the reason because you want to be understood when you are expressing yourself? And are you open enough to receive impulses which not only serve to confirm yourself in the first place but to have a critical look at yourself? With other words: Do you have the urge to get to know yourself? Do you dare to quest yourself? To look at yourself even there might come up things you don't like? Are you ready to search for reasons  mainly within yourself, not giving the fault to the outside and other people? Are you really willing to enter into a personal healing process which includes all your existence? Are you answering with 'YES' to these questions, then FalconBlanco is your place and will be beneficial: As a stepping stone to go on or as your home for long term.
Update: To come to FalconBlanco because you are looking for an alternative life style is NOT enough. You can't expect to realize your concepts and dreams at FalconBlanco, trying to manipulate the existing situation and forcing your desired ideal on others and the place. Frankly: I'm more than tired of such people. They are not even able to listen and they are not interested to get to know what is there. There is no question, just the need to find confirmation for their 'beautiful' concepts! It doesn't even help if I express clearly: Stay away! These people ignore what I'm saying and writing and try to push through, desperately in need to realize their concepts! 
    But I tell you: You can't do this at FalconBlanco! 
The reason can't be that you want to be understood, it is also necessary that you are able to express yourself without being animated to do so. With this I don't mean that you just release your accumulated anger! Yes, of course this is also an expression but doing so and provoking people to be able to 'express' yourself, is not what I mean. 
Asking to be open enough to receive impulses and to be able to have a critical look at yourself obviously is ask far too much. People are not conscious about the fact that they are constantly looking for confirmation... The urge to get to know oneself is so rare that it hardly exist. Or is there really somebody who seriously quest oneself? My experience at FalconBlanco tells me that giving the fault to the outside and to other people is just the usual behavior and frankly: I am tired of this. I don't want to play the role of the bad father, not even the role of the good father. I don't want to confirm people in their confirmation games and I'm tired to see their frustration about it, not willing to look at themselves and not wanting to hear anything about what could get them out of it: To really get to know themselves. Yes, people want to get healed, but they want to be healed by someone else or to take pills. That's what they are used to do. Being told that they need to take self responsibility, getting out of dependencies, that's not what people want to do or to hear about it.
People they say yes because they feel that there is a way to get out of their sickness, frustration, depression and desperation, feeling trapped in their limited conditions, so they feel attracted and drawn to FalconBlanco. But when they show up, then they just continue with their old ways to react and act, but this doesn't work here or at least not with me and then they leave. Not being able even to look at themselves with the possibility to change themselves and their established behavior, but they are not really willing to do so. Frankly: As this is daily reality and I am dealing with it now for many years, I am getting tired. It is enough! People are attracted and then they expect that I take care of them, not willing to do something about their condition themselves. They don't ask anything, they don't want to hear anything and when I talk then they don't listen or resistance is showing up. When I point this out, then they get angry, but even though - they don't express themselves, just showing passiv resistance and then they leave. I don't want to continue, not seeing anything creative in it, as there is no growing happening. I don't want to hear stories trying to  convince me that I accept you at FalconBlanco. Coming here will not be a creative happening and you will defend yourself in your self image and concepts but this doesn't work good enough to give you satisfaction, so you will just feel disturbed creating bad mood and negative energy, so better don't come here when you don't want to work with this. What means 'being aware of it'. The only way to do something about the dilemma of wanting and not being able, is that you start to practice the 'Stress Release Exercise'. You can find advice by reading the page about it and then just do it. It is easy! You can ask for help if there is any problem showing up. If after reading the FAQ page you still don't have an answer to your problem, you can email me or use my hotline.
Having practiced for some time, you will find out, that you can live an 'alternative life style' just there where you are. For sure this is the best way to get to know yourself and you don't need to show your resistance (at least not to me and here at FalconBlanco). You don't depend on any surrounding or other people. You can do it there where you are and you will have the full benefit. If you want to share your new and positive experience with other people, then you can give them our leaflet about the 'Stress Release Exercise'. We will send this to you in the language you want and the amount of copies. Doing so, you also support the intention of FalconBlanco. 
If you come to FalconBlanco, as a visitor or as a WWOOFer, then we expect that you agree with our intention and also want to help with it. The basic condition is, that you join our daily practice doing the 'Stress Release Exercise' or the meditation you are used. If you are not doing it already, then you can get advice and we expect that you do it regularly every day being here. If you are not interested, then don't come or if you are here and not participating, then you better leave. This condition is new, but it has shown that the freedom not to join, attracts people who are not willing and being able to use the opportunities given at FalconBlanco. Instead they appreciate the given space, they use it to provoke and to demonstrate their lake of awareness
We welcome a limited number of visitors who are willing to stay at FalconBlanco for at least three months. Our experience after many years has shown that staying only for two or three weeks doesn't serve, not the visitor and not the host. There is no maximum for the duration of your staying. If you feel comfortable here and the other with you, then you can stay as long as you want.
The condition for your staying in FB is that there is given a balance in what is given and what is received, that means that every body participates in common activities like the daily practice of the 'Stress Release Exercise', also you need to participate in the daily work to maintain the place, that means a minimum of fife hours daily work (except on Sunday). There are absolutely no costs for staying at FalconBlanco. (There's a list available of daily work in which one can participate.)
You are responsible for your own health insurance. When you arrive at FalconBlanco you must have a return ticket or enough money to be able to go where you want to go.
If you want to come to FalconBlanco, then the easiest way for a first contact is that you send an email and tell why you want to come and for how long. Give us your telephone number (land line if possible) and the time when you can be reached best. Then we will phone you. You should get as much information as you can about FalconBlanco and our intentions. We suggest that you read our Web site exhaustively, - take your time, you will not waste energy doing so. After reading the FAQ" don't hesitate to ask more questions which might help to clear things up. Knowing well, that the best information given, can't avoid that people project and interpret their expectations, ignoring any information which might upset their expectations and needs. Then when arriving, they are disappointed and give the fault to us, the circumstances and the situation. This is still OK if you are willing to work on this, clearing up your concepts and expectations, otherwise your coming only creates 'bad vibrations' and is not creative at all; what means that it doesn't help you and frankly: We are tired of such situations...
Apart of this we must reserve that the first week of your stay is a trial. If we don't feel comfortable with you, we might decide that you have to leave and of course you are free to leave at any moment if this is your decision. Taking the time for an email and a telephone call will hopefully avoid disappointment. It was written before and I repeat it: If you come here, then you must have a return ticket or the money to go where you came from or where you want to go.
We ask you not to show up at FalconBlanco without our confirmation. We would like to be more spontaneous, but our experiences during many years have told us not to accept people without clearing up the basic conditions.
Write an emailbufly.gif (2408 bytes)and mention in your message that you have read this page, that you understand what is said and then make your personal comment. Please don't waste your time and energy and also ours by not being clear about it and interpreting our Web site by projecting your needs. This might sound harsh, but many years of experience have shown that staying at FalconBlanco, not fulfilling the mentioned basic conditions, doesn't result in creative changes only causes frustration and disappointment in the visitor  and not being able and willing to deal with it and so questioning this you will leave within a few days, just taking a bad taste with you and this for sure is not our intention. So please be honest with us and yourself!

It must be clear that if you don't feel comfortable with our lifestyle at FalconBlanco then you better should not come here. It is indeed disturbing the whole group energy, when somebody comes pretending something and then doing the contrary and hiding it. So please be honest with us and yourself and don't come if you are not clear about it.
PS: Reading all this now after some time, I can't say that I feel comfortable with it. All this sounds so harsh and is representing not really the 'lifestyle' of FalconBlanco. But the experience with people are forcing me to make these conditions...
Update: I am forced to be even more harsh: Warning to all pretender! If you come to FalconBlanco and it shows up, that you are smoking, taking drugs, not participating in our daily 'Stress Release Exercise' or Meditation and not interested in the necessary daily work, then you will have to leave, that simple!
