It has been more than a year since I posted something here, so for the sake of keeping this silly blog alive I thought I would post something this holiday season. I bought a house in September of 2017, which marked the end of an era in my life and a new chapter of settling in a community. I had spent a large part of my life living in Asia and traveling around the world on a bicycle. I was ready to settle down in a place that I loved and I feel very lucky to have found a place to live a simple but active life. So far I am calling my place 'blue feather ranch and dharma center'. It has been a labor of love repairing the place, planting trees, creating a garden and painting the interior and exterior. I really love living in Colorado but I'm not as into the winters as I once was. So i'm planning a little mid-winter travel adventure to Nepal, Thailand and Japan for six weeks. Looking forward to being back in the Himalaya! Happy New Year everyone!

I was able to sneak away for another pilgrimage to Esalen for a couple workshops before christmas. First, was with Tom Meyers on the pelvis. Then, Cha Dao (way of tea) with Wu De.
