Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I went to a 10-day silent meditation retreat. That was really hard for me but it was a beautiful experience. We learned how to communicate with one another without talking. We learned who each other were by what shoes we wore to the meditation hall. I saw stars. I never knew the nights sky was so beautiful. I dealt with the demons in my head. And when we were finally able to talk I really connected with some amazingly beautiful people from all different backgrounds. I met a raw-foods chef/Artist, a person who literally builds airplanes, a mathematician, an animal doctor, people from all walks of life. And best of all I was able to do all that and stay there just by giving a donation. I wasn't able to at the time and they didn't care. I plan on going back and serving in the near future.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I don't know if I have any specific thing I can teach people, but I'm willing to share all I know. I'm a pretty badass cook so I can give pointers there I guess! If you need someone to help you feel better about yourself I can definitely be a guide. And I love talking about yoga, meditation, yoga philosophy and what not. Or if you wanna learn how to make your own mala beads I can teach you that too! There's probably more things.. there are more things. I'll share what I know :]

I'm a big ball of learning! I love to learn new things.
