Goodbye to new friends

The workshop has wound up, and the ashramers (?) are beginning to head for home. Over the past two weeks we
have thoroughly enjoyed the company of the larger-than-life, charismatic Aussie and the adventurous and delightful US lady. We have shared meals, stories and laughs, become philosophical and exchanged contact details.

The place seems so much quieter without our down-to-earth Aussie mate but even if our paths never cross again, we will thank whatever Ubud spell brought us together in this time and space. We have all learned something, and are, I'm sure, just a little richer for the experience.

With a few days left before she heads back to the US, the gentle and lovely L. will accompany us to Bar Luna tonight where I will be doing one of the four pre-Festival talks. Hoping to help out in other capacities too in coming months.

Three weeks under our belt, 23 to go and it's all good.
