AOL Refresher & Dolphin Experience

I had the fortunate opportunity to attend an 4 Day AOL Refresher Course in Ponto Malangane, Mozambique in May... What an awesome setting and wondrous experience we had with our Dolphin friends!! On arrival we were welcomed by Cortney and her team & then settled into our Tented accommodation... We then met at the pool to familiarise ourselves with snorkeling. That evening Cortney gave us a Dolphin talk- suggesting how we should BE with the Dolphins during our encounter, as well as some safety tips and conservation knowledge. The mornings started with yoga & Kriya, before embarking on our boat launch to find the Dolphins... An awesome time was had by all- each had their own intimate dolphin experience to share!! After a hearty Brunch, I facilitated relaxing massage treatments, before our afternoon Refresher Course sessions. Or, there was time for a beach walk or an afternoon siesta. The evenings were filled with Drumming, a Sound Journey, Satsang & Sadvic food... For those that felt the need to do Seva- help was always needed on the kitchen & Taryn did a fine job of catering!! The last evening was celebrated with a Mozambiquen fish meal (for those that couldn't resist ;-)

I had such an awsome time & didn't get to swim with the Whale Shark after all (that morning I stayed behind to relax)... That, my good intention is to go back in October 22nd- 27th & facilitate a Rejuvenation weekend in Ponto d'Ouro, with my dear friend Diana of Sundancer Promotions! I'll have loads of inspiration & knowledge to share after my Sri Sri Ayurveda Course :-)
