Wow... finished my third Crib and I'm still buzzing from the high it gave me.
Its amazing what 5 hours of yoga per day can do for you... not to mention all of the sweetness that Ojai has to offer.
The people that live there and come to LIVE for the weekend is so refreshing.
I am humbly honored to be considered a Crib Peep!
This year was meant for adventure since i had no "accommodations" set in place. Which means I didn't know where i would be parking my truck and sleeping under the stars :-) The Sanctuary is going through changes and "mysteriously" the opportunity to heal an outness from last year's Crib presented itself the first night. I thank you Mr. S for allowing us to close that door and letting me gaze under your oak tree and the splendid Valley blanket of stars.
I'm still processing the work we all shared and ideas presented or actually "reminded" in me :-) These 5 days were spent gathering blankets and rugs, hanging tapestry and lights, smiling and laughing, lots of handstands all over the place, and those apple/walnut muffins ruled Olivia!! The private session in the "church' after Kirtan will always be a special memory.
This was especially nice to have it finish with joy, not sadness for ending... but an awareness of how life continues to move forward... in the best direction. Inspiring conversation for an hour on the corner with a physics professor, then patiently waiting for a pizza that flopped... leading to delicious soup and pasta. Hmmm... life is meant to be an adventure. Finishing with my ritual bath in the creek (brrr...) and a moonlight cruise along the coast.
I will see you soon my lovely Ojai! Thank you for the beautiful memories again.
Peace and blessings to all those that made these days so complete.
