Oh I suppose its time!

First things first....photos!

This last month has been many things. So many things have happened internally and externally for me that I don't know where to begin. So Ill give the basics for now. Sadhana Forest is a wonderful community of a family of four that is joined by 15-20 long term volunteers (6+months) and anywhere from 20-100 short term volunteers. Crazy, yes. They are rebuilding land in Auroville (an international community outside of Pondicherry, India). This community is vegan and off the grid. We bathe in a mud pool, use our pee to water plants, and our poo to plant trees. My carbon footprint shrunk significantly while staying there. All volunteers are welcomed to offer workshops, so I led yoga and ecstatic dance! And took many amazing barrier breaking workshops from other volunteers. This place is a haven for like minded and incredible individuals- so much that its exhausting. And I didn't realize just how exhausting it was until I left. I am still recovering and its been a couple of days. But now I have an abundance of travel buddies and good friends- actual good friends. It amazing how close you can get to people in such a short time when your heart is open and your living together.
Sadhana Forest day:
615am morning circle- singing and stretching mostly
630 am- work
830am- breakfast
930am- 2nd work
1230-lunch
6-dinner

We often escaped to a local town for coffee and sweets- things not at Sadhana, during the evenings and breaks.

Now I am at a quiet guest house in Auroville. It very mellow. I like it. There is an abundance of cool things to do here- just trying to figure out what is hard. For example- last night I went to an Om choir- people chanting om together. Very powerful. Off to a sacred temple mtn for new years with some new friends and then heading back this way before going to the west coast for some nice beach time (of course with new friends). Sending my love from India!
