Meaning of Nama

From the beginning it was clear to us that our vacation and rental could not be limited to only a "vacation rental," but rather it needed to reflect the energy of Nama, our origins, and purpose. In meditation Nama was defined for us as the original force that gave birth to Mother Earth. Since then we have had many visitors from various countries enjoy the creativity of Nama-Stay and contribute to the different meanings of Nama from other cultures and languages. We are so grateful for all who feel guided to contribute to the Spirit of Nama. These contributions continue to expand our views far beyond where we originally imagined. We hope you enjoy the many forms of Nama shared throughout the world.
