Almost five years ago now, my little tribe hit the road for a three+ year adventure south of the border.
We set out to experience a different culture & way of living…to step out of our comfort zone & try something new. Along with those desires, we also needed a break from the pace of life here in the United States.
What we found when we landed in Nosara, Costa Rica was NOT what we expected & we struggled. Due to the choices we made around housing, schooling and work, life was far from the tropical paradise we envisioned.
But RIGHT NOW in the middle of this pandemic, we collectively realize that our experiences on the road, prepared us greatly for all that is unfolding now: the uncertainty, isolation, extended togetherness and at times, scarcity & fear.
Sometimes we choose big transition & challenge, knowing deep within us something needs to change. But more often that not, challenge & great uncertainty are thrust upon us by outside forces like storms, job loss, sickness and death…like the Corona Virus.
So I am feeling pulled to share our family experiences in hopes that some part of our learning provides support or insight through this crazy rollercoaster of a time. And if not, maybe it simply entertains you…because there will be plenty to laugh at.
These thoughts will be gathered here going forward.
You may ask “What does this have to do with yoga, wellness & retreats?”, since those are my “work” passions.
Good questions.
I don’t really have a simple answer, except to say that my life & yoga are so deeply intertwined, there is no separation. As well my yoga & meditation practice remained a steady companion & place for solace throughout our journey and beyond.
It may seem messy on some front to proceed without more clarity of direction, but messy is fine by me. If you are cool with less than fully formed paths & want an update when I add something new…Sign up here: STAY CONNECTED
I look forward to connection with you.
