Hey everyone!!
The Michigan retreat wrapped up yesterday afternoon. I wanted to thank everyone who attended (in person and in spirit) for their presence, for their sharing and for their willingness to look within. The retreat could not have been what it was without each one of you to form a beautiful mosaic of inner silence and opening. Chas, Cody, Liz, Chaz, Anima I am grateful for each one of you
And I can't say enough about Kami's leadership on the retreat. It was extremely well organized and she led a healthy and balanced mix of asanas, sitting practices, grounding, discussion, learning sessions and bonding. The whole experience felt smooth and effortless, thanks to all of her effort and hardwork  But most importantly I was grateful for her Presence. Thank you Kami
From my perspective, the retreat practice sessions were deep and I've felt a lot of opening occurring both at the retreat and since returning home. The long walks between sessions, the campfire and listening to Cody's music were all very grounding to balance things out. I loved the discussions on the Work and the energy body, but particularly enjoyed the sessions on EFT and H'oponopono (which is as much fun to practice as it is to say  ) which I had not had exposure to prior to the retreat.
It was a fantastic experience and something I'll never forget...I can't wait for the next one!
Much Love

Thank you Parallax, for the kind words. It was an honor to lead this retreat with you.
Thanks also to everyone that came and graced my home as well as the retreat with your presence and radiance. Bodhi and Anima, thank you for the music.
The light in my heart humbly bows to the light in each of yours.
Namaste. |

Words, like little raindrops, drip from my fingers...to say...many thanks and happy returns to the dynamic duo of Parallax and Kami. Their leadership was most superb--a great combination, really. We had Parallax cracking jokes and Kami waxing all scholarly and profound, so what do you get? Light-hearted humor and deep truths all rolled up into one. Kah-bam. 
You know, Yogani has said that the real barometer of success in spiritual practices is measured by the quality of life which permeates the time between practices, and this certainly held very true at the retreat, and especially now, back at home. I feel totally rejuvenated, fulfilled, optimistic and re-charged. I am ready to keep rolling forward and face all of life's challenges and surprises.
This retreat was made so very special by the people in attendence: Tom, Chas, Chaz, and Liz. Each are magical and super-talented in their own right.
I think it's safe to say we are blazing some major trails here, and that the best is yet to come, even though it's already HERE NOW.
Once again, thank you to Kami and Parallax for running the show, and long live the mystery that is, that was, that ever will be. Love to all! |

| This is one of those times when words feel inadequate. The retreat was a profound experience, and I feel immense gratitude toward everyone who participated - whether physically present or not. |

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update from a couple of days after the retreat. The integration process has been relatively smooth so far, despite going right back in to work first thing on Monday. I have felt two major energetic "knots" start to release, which has come with a feeling of a smoother and more balanced flow in the energy body. And the inner silence is quitely permeating everything with a feeling of such peace and contentedness despite life going on in all its crazy and beautiful ways
I have such gratitude for Kami...for her skillful leadership and insightful guidance on the retreat and for the considerable effort that she put into organizing the retreat. Its has opened me in profound ways, and I can't possibly thank you enough
And once again, thank you to everyone who was there who shared in and contributed to the experience...each one of you were an important part of it for me
Love!
