Finding Purpose in a Bag of Beans. ~ Amanda Stuermer

by on Feb 6, 2012

Does God think I’m a total whiner? Does he look at all I have been given and think, “when will she be satisfied?” People across the globe are struggling for daily survival, and I am asking for guidance on my life’s purpose.

Every morning the sun rises. A massive ball of fire, of spherical perfection and hot bright plasma floats in the middle of our solar system. It knows when to rise and fall and it does so regardless if we tell it to or not. Tomorrow morning, roll out of bed and stare at it. It's so bright it'll hurt your eyes and its genius proportions and miraculous properties are still there and will always be there, even if you forget about them. It will warm your spirit if you let it.

In Defense of Festivals: 10 Reasons to go to Wanderlust.

by on Jan 23, 2012

Okay, I know that Wanderlust has expanded over the years and along with their city events they have a number of other large festivals across the U.S., but I’m going to make myself a target and assert that not a one of them cam touch the scenery at the California Wanderlust site. Where else can you practice handstands 8,000 feet above sea level to the faint sounds of kirtan and a gentle pine scent that no car freshener can touch? Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas are extraordinarily compelling. Want to give Gaia some love? There’s no better place than Squaw Valley, CA.

The calm after the storm: Day 4 Hike in Torres del Paine National Park

by on Jan 17, 2012

As we hiked away from the refugio, we could see the imposing Los Cuernos (“the horns”) in the background. Cristian told us that the refugio at Los Cuernos was his favorite one in the entire park and we could finally understand why. On a cloudless day, the jagged peaks of Los Cuernos soared majestically in the sky, reaching upwards behind the refugio. The view was quite stunning and serene.

Managing the Mouse – Eating in Disney with Dietary Challenges.

by on Jan 16, 2012

Disney is very accommodating to dietary allergies or other issues. They won’t accommodate your preference for a burger at the Italian place, but if you are lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, allergic to nuts, etc., they will do what they can, particularly when given the right notice.

A Bali Update.

by on Jan 12, 2012

Bali has this way of sending you through, very intensely, the karmic blender. If you want to hide, well, don't come to Bali. Your soul better be ready, because it is a wild wild ride. The beauty about being in places like this while doing this sort of work is that the environment actually supports for this type of personal work.

I have never have been more sure I was the butt of a cosmic joke; it seems the universe aligns itself in such a way that the Divine Prankster is able to play hilarious and ironic jokes on me with ease.

A wet, cold day hiking in the icy Patagonian rain

by on Jan 11, 2012

Then Cristian said more urgently, “Is coming the rain, big rain” and we leaped at high-speed under a large bush for cover. According to Cristian, no matter what kind of advanced rain gear you have, you would be completely soaked within five minutes thus it was best to take cover and wait it out. I had never seen such an intense combination of wind and rain before in my life. It was completely, utterly wild.

Paul Dallaghan shared with us his technique for avoiding jet lag towards the end of Teacher Training circa March of 2009 in Thailand, and since I -like most other students- was about venture into a 20+ hour plane-ride, my ears perked up.

Hidden Lands in Mexico’s Copper Canyon. ~ Evan Ravitz

by on Dec 13, 2011

Just 1100 miles from Boulder in the Sierra Madre of Mexico lies the misnamed "Copper Canyon." It is actually the world's largest maze of canyons, as deep or deeper than the Grand Canyon and totaling some 750 miles, three times longer than the Grand.

The Camel-haired Belt ~ Zali Nash

by on Nov 28, 2011

Long lines stream down the river bank where the masses are herded into small flocks and are allowed to walk in ten metre bursts before stopping for about 5 minutes at a time. On the pilgrimage to the hairy icon, you can purchase a snack, a cup of tea or go to the loo. It is a highly orchestrated, beautifully organised event.

Cow Kung Fu.

by on Nov 23, 2011

Scrambling for a new way to live. Carving trees with tattoos and sewing peacock feathers onto our clothes… spiritual soldiers renaming the birds and peering deep into the ocean to see where all the fish have gone. Plastic floats upon the ocean water... it does not sink, so there is still a chance for us to see it... collect and gather what we have forsaken and lost.

by on Nov 9, 2011

When you pick up and move 11,165 km from home you feel a little lost for a while. It’s kind of like starting school, a new job, or walking into a yoga studio for the first time, only amplified about 100 times.

In the Midst of Gorillas

by on Nov 5, 2011

Nestled in the lush green leaves is a black, wrinkled face. A female gorilla sits, five feet from me. She is quiet and calm. Her eyes are the color of burnt umber, wizened by thousands of long, star-lit nights on the volcano. She holds my gaze and I well up.

An escape to Patagonia: How this incredibly beautiful, remote place cured my soul.

by on Oct 25, 2011

Patagonia has captivated and inspired the imagination of explorers and travelers for centuries. Geographically, Patagonia is one of the most remote places on earth. Located on the Southern tip of Chile and Argentina, and only 621 miles from Antarctica, Patagonia feels like it is at the end of the world. Patagonia’s remote and utter isolation combined with its spectacular scenery has added to its mystique. It is truly a magical place that is relatively untouched by man.

People who do yoga in airports

by on Oct 11, 2011

I don't have anything against yoga in airports, per se. Traveling is uncomfortable and constricting and stressful. Yoga's good for all of those. It's just that when you're IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AIRPORT, seriously practicing a standing posture, or handstand, or anything other than say, easy pose, you kind of look like an asshole. We get it. You do yoga. You're spiritual.
