Some joyful pictures of the last 5 days meditation retreat

When we were literally in the clouds
Group discussions before a presentation
The joy of loneliness (clicked a stranger at the retreat)
The lovely nonchalance of aunties of not wanting to click pictures
6.15-6.40 am bare feet walks on the grass, on days it is was not raining

The joys of collective meditation in the evening, right after the rain has dried.

I feel a strange longing, a need to belong there. But the biggest and the best learning of me going to retreats over the years is that you cannot “pay” your way into going there anytime.

You go there only for 4-5 days when a retreat comes up, learn and meditate as much as you can, and come back and transform your life. Our goal, then, is to make our lives so enriched that our transformed life helps others.

I call it the joy of longing your home, away from home.
