#rumi2012

Damn, it's been three weeks since I left and I hardly know where to begin. I'm not who I was, that's for sure :) We've been in Nepal for about a week and a half now. We spent the last week on an organic farm with the Bhattarai family. We helped however we could, whether that was collecting chicken eggs (from 1000 chickens!), shaking out sesame seeds, or building the new bungalow. (reminds me a lot of fun crew back at Ma'acama campus!) We bonded with Amma, Baba, Pradeep, Pramila, and Pratiksha. We even went to Pratiksha's school and played games with the students. Sweet stuff :) Aaand, everyone was lovely and celebrated my birthday on Saturday evening before we left the farm. Each person told me what they appreciated about me and I felt like a celebrity (on a farm, yes). After the 8 hour drive, we got here to HIYA, the yoga and meditation retreat. This is the perfect place for all of us to recover from culture shock, physical discomfort, etc. I'm enjoying my time here for sure, aside from dealing with Herald, my ping-pong sized blister. I hope I can get pictures up sometime soon cause words do my experience no justice. Peace and love to all, and stay in tuned for more!
