Notes from the Moving Path...
Dear Friends,
What is new in your one wild and precious life? Are you in the heat of summer or are you in the Southern Hemisphere and having your winter months? Or living at the equator, where winter and summer become wet and dry seasons. The sun's rise and set stays within a one hour window through out the year....Wherever you are, may your life be filled with love, and the strength to ride life's waves with beauty, power, & grace.
During 2011, I've been 'home free' having moved from my 10 year stay on Santa Lucia Ranch, just south of Esalen. So, I really do write to you from the Moving Path! When not teaching or practicing, I am able to spend time with my family, especially my Mother and Father & Step-Mother. These years are indeed golden, and I'm delighted that we've all lived long enough to know "Love is the answer." Click here to skip the stories, and go right to MovingVentures' enticing offerings.
The photo below warms my eyes and heart...such lovely colors and images. Deep and lasting bonds were formed amongst us. A full immersion month of removing our clothes, giving and receiving the healing art that is Esalen® Massage & Essential Touch lands us iin a crucible, the alchemy of awakened senses supports each of us dying and being reborn, over and over again. We happened to be in Bali, where the cultural practices and openness of Balinese people conspire to support heightened consciousness; stepping into a new paradigm.
Matur Suksmo, to all that is Bali for welcoming us into your loving embrace.
