Third day of the Experiential March

E^er day and end of this Latin American March for Nonviolence In its traditional version in a physical way, like the previous days, it was full of challenges, adventures and learning. Most of the Base Team stayed at the recreational facilities of the UNDECA (Union of employees of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund) who kindly gave us their support and sponsorship for this purpose.

On September 30 at 7:00 am, the Base Team of the In-Person March (EBMP) of the March, arrives at the announced departure address, in Heredia, however, when no new dealer arrives and taking into account the Weather forecast for the afternoon, it was decided to advance by vehicle to the San José Center in order to reach Ochomogo on time before the rain was present.

So it was symbolically decided that the March would leave the Plaza de la Democracia y de la Abolición del Army, located in the capital of Costa Rica. At this point, Mr. Carlos Garbanzo, a member of the Buen Vivir Community, joins the March.

It should be noted that next to this park is the National Museum, whose building was formerly the Headquarters. In Costa Rica all the military barracks, structurally rescued, were converted into Museums.

The March reaches Montes de Oca

After the first 3 and a half kilometers on the way to Ochomogo, we pass through the canton of San Pedro de Montes de Oca. Authorities of the Municipality of this canton headed by the Humanist Vice Mayor José Rafael Quesada and the First Vice Mayor Arch. Ana Lucía González. In a very pleasant atmosphere, municipalities, neighbors and marchers shared a snack and briefly discussed possible future projects that involve the Municipality and the population of the New Generations.

The penultimate stop of the March was made in Tres Ríos de la Unión, already in the Province of Cartago after having already walked 16 km of the 5 km that would be walked this last day. In this place, Lorena Delgado, a member of the Community of the Message of Silo, joins the March.

One last heavy and dangerous stretch

The last and final stretch was the heaviest and most dangerous walking along the edge of a highway and on a steep one that seemed to never end, they finally arrived in Ochomogo at the agreed point and at the time established in time to make the ordering ceremony for Latin America. There were 5 marchers who arrived at Cerro de Ochomogo, Rafael de la Rubia, Giovanny Blanco, Mercedes Hidalgo, Carlos Garbanzo and Lorena Delgado the first three, they remained as marchers, during the three days of the March.

In the Monument to Christ the King erected since 1823 as a symbol of peace at the end of the first Civil War and a place of agreement to end the war of 48, a group of humanists, neighbors and some officials of the Municipality of Montes de OcaThe reception was very emotional and the ordering ceremony was carried out by all those present who wanted to participate by contributing their request at the point of greatest concentration of energy in the place according to the sacred geometry design that they used to build this beautiful monument and its adjoining plaza. the one that has 5 rays in the form of concrete lines that intersect each other joined by a half moon in front of the statue.

Between orders, announcements and declamations, this closing act was developed.
One of the requests was to hug more, so after the wellness ceremony, a new pact was agreed in this place full of positive energy, this time it was the pact of hug between the participants at the end of this experiential March in a way. face-to-face, the one that sealed and concluded this activity.
