Murshid Arjun Jorge Calero
Atlantida Ecovillage, Colombia
Arjun was born in Colombia in 1978. Raised in close contact with nature and spiritual seeking, he finished his biology studies in 2001 with a special degree in ethno-ecology. He has worked for years with local native communities and environmental groups in schools. He was part of the Rainbow Peace Caravan, a nomad ecovillage, school and artistic company, that traveled throughout Latin America. In 2003 he co-founded Atlantida Ecovillage where he still resides and hosts 2 major DUP (Dances of Universal Peace) events every year. A senior dance mentor, guitarist and Ruhaniat teacher, Arjun works actively with the ecovillage networks both national and continental and the revival of the ancient wisdom of the Americas.
Arjun fell in love with DUP in 1999 and could not just stop dancing ever since. Before moving to the country side to begin Atlantida Ecovillage, he was holding weekly circles in Cali, Colombia. The ecovillage hosts an annual training for DUP leaders in the mountains of south Colombia, and most of the Latin American DUP leaders attend every Easter. With the Beyond Initiative, since 2019, Arjun has been a part of seeding the DUP into Middle East, Africa and Asia.
