Day 1 of Meditation Retreat, Virgin Islands

Day 1 of Meditation Retreat, Virgin Islands

It's another gorgeous day here in St. Thomas. The ocean is calm, turquoise and inviting. The sun is out. The private villa is surrounded with beautiful flowers. It's the first day of our meditation retreat and our participants are arriving early this afternoon. Sharing a photo of the view from my room. The white roof you see is the main villa area where the classes and meals will be held. Behind this area are a set of stairs that lead down to the private cove below. It's 9am and 27C (84F). Pretty sweet. I'm also testing blogging directly from my iPhone. So let's see how it works.

    Off to the Kumbha Mela 2010

    It was a cold morning in New Delhi and I had been quite naïve about the weather in north India having come only prepared for the warm south. I made my way through the rare quiet streets at the wees hours of the morning to the Delhi Railway station and boarded the train for Haridw

    The End...and many new beginnings by Mike Gehard

    It has been quite the whirlwind journey in not only the physical level but also many other levels of my being. I knew that this journey would not be your typical “vacation” but other than that I had very little in the way of expectations. I knew that Dandapani, through his priest
