Signed up for a yoga workshop in the jungles of the OSA on a whim one day when I was feeling a little over the top at work and at home; a little too stressed with too little progress to show for it. I had no idea that I was stepping into - something so intense - a current of energy focused so strongly on cracking me wide open. I was tossed freely into the fire. I emerged centered and strong; open and vulnerable; with clear eyes ready to navigate through the fire swamp from a whole new place. I brought my new Canon 5D, but didn’t take many photos. I made a lot of friends, ate a whole lot of veggies, got up every morning before 5 a.m. with the Howlers and spent my days (and nights) in the jungle with Kali, music, and the good company of friends.
