Our Finale Dinner in South India
March 14, 2014 • Spiritual Adventures
Here’s the final series of photos from our South Indian spiritual adventure, wrapping up our coverage of that amazing journey with 17 wonderful souls. On the last night of our meditation and yoga retreat in South India we had a special farewell dinner on the banks of Lake Vembanad, India’s longest lake. The gorgeous Kumarakom Lake Resort was where we were staying and I had planned a special dinner for our group as a thank you for coming on this journey with me and sharing their experiences.
I’ll let the photos tell the rest of the story.
The venue was beautifully decorated with lights, flowers, parade umbrellas and a traditional house boat parked next to us to complete the setting.
We had a group of musicians to entertain us as we dined.
I presented everyone with a shawl as a token of my appreciation for coming on the journey and sharing their experiences with me.
The group presented me a beautiful antique piece. An old temple artifact made of wood that has been carved into a shape of a leaf with a beautiful Ganesha engraved in it. These were used as trays to serve offerings in temples in Kerala. Thank you everyone!
