Yogaville

I participated in a retreat at the Satchidinanda Ashram (Yogaville) in Buckingham, VA this past weekend. I couldn't take it all in....a lot of it is still sitting on the surface of my brain looking for a space to sink in. Kind of like droplets of water on the surface of your clothes in the first few seconds of standing in a downpour.

The topic for the weekend was Mindfulness and was presented by the Rev Frank Jude Boccio. What an amazing guy...topic...place. The ideas of non-judgement. non-permanence, non-attachment, non-reality sit with me well. Observing the world from the perspective of a big sky, rather than a lowly being struggling to climb a mountain, feels so healthy when I'm applying it to my current situation. Nothing really matters. Things have importance, but there are many valid points of achievement..... Validity. Isn't that what we're all striving for?
