The owners of Luna Vista
were destined to provide an environment where new and old friends could
explore their individual pathways to peace of mind, relaxation of
body and enlightenment of spirit. Privately or with others, they
created a place for others to get away from it all and celebrate life,
while indulging in luxury pampering in their comfortable home.

The rewards for both guests and host:
Experience a healthy environment
with the exchange of knowledge and engagement in
conversations of legends & prophesies, life & origin, philosophy &
humanity, heaven & earth, politics & science, consciousness &
perceptions, abundance & prosperity, survival & endurance, love &
family. Feeling the rich significance of sharing memories
with another while adding to your own life's experience. And reaping the joy
of sharing with new found family, friends and community – ALL Priceless!

Xenia,
is the Greek concept of hospitality, or generosity and courtesy
shown to those who are far from home. It is often translated as
"guest-friendship" or "ritualized friendship" because the rituals of
hospitality created and expressed a reciprocal relationship between
guest and host. |
 |
The Greek god Zeus was sometimes referred to as Zeus Xenios, meaning he
was god of, among other things, travelers. This created a particular
religious obligation to be hospitable to travelers, but guests also had
responsibilities, beyond reciprocating hospitality.
The
policy of xenia also includes the protection and healing of traveling
bards and guiding them to their next destination.
And so
goes the basis of hospitality throughout time, practiced throughout many
cultures and on many lands for generations upon generations.
While
the term xenia is primarily ancient Greek, even today the Greek people
are noted for their hospitality. Today's hospitality conjures images of
throwing good parties, gracious hosts entertaining, etiquette, Martha
Stewart or even talk shows, or, the hospitality services industry as it
relates to the entertainment and tourism business. On the other hand,
hospitality used to be, and still is, a serious duty, responsibility,
and ethic. |
