I am here!
In the newly planted forest in sourthern india. Sadhana Forest.
We sleep with moist blankets, bathe in a muddy pond, poop in hole which we then turn to compost to plant more trees. By day we work and by night we hang out, play or listen to music. Laugh with new friends. We eat vegan and very well. I have an abundance of papaya, pineapple, coconut, pomegranate, and bananas. I will stay here for a bit. Might explore this weekend to an Indian Full Moon celebration.
On my way here I had a layover in Bahrain, I was 1 of 2 white people. Getting on people were super pushy and the whole flight I was surrounded by people coughing and farting. I kept thinking, "Oh no, what am I doing." Once i left the airport at 5 am in the seatbelt-less, and hornless (very essential in india) old cab I hired to drive me 3 hours south and heard the sporadic loud music bursting out of shacks along the filthy road, i smiled and said to myself, "Now I know why I came..."
And here is am in the almost jungle with many wonderful happy internationals. A sanctuary.
