Greetings from Hamburg :-)

Greeting from Hamburg, Germany... My new home and work space for the coming weeks!

As I sit here, I feel grateful for the experience and learning I had at the Art of Living Ashram in Bad Antogast! It was 10 weeks of intense personal growth... As it turned out, I was not only there to complete my Sri Sri Ayurveda Massage Training, but also to manage the Center- which become my main responsibility. Travelling Massage fell along the wayside- this was my decision, as I realises that I'm more of a quality vs quantity Practitioner. So, Karin & Beata ended up going to Croatia, Portaugal, Denmark and Holland (as we speak :-)

I realise now that I still needed growth in the area of interpersonal relationships- being on my own, managing Boni and my time! During the Part III Meditation Course there were nine of us plus the Seva teams (selfless service) of four each break-time... I had very late nights and early mornings, but "lack-of" sleep was not the issue... For three weeks I worked without a day-off- now that's selfless service! My overall impression was good and I had soo much fun with my fellow trainees, delegating and managing our team! Needless to say- I got my time off and went on a road-trip to Denmark... There I decided it was time for me to leave the Ashram and take up a friends offer to come work at the AOL Center in Hamburg!

It seems I'm back to managing- though I feel more like an AOL Angle! Krishi is a travelling Part I Teacher, so I will be on my own most of the time (which I prefer) and facilitate the Yoga and Ayurveda Massage- as well as keep the place feeling like home :-) Most evenings we have happenings when other teachers & guests come- so there is loads to keep me busy! I'm networking with other Massage practitioners, making new friends and learning German here and there! Weather permitting- my good intention is to explore Hamburg by bike.. It's known as the most beautiful German City! Already I'm familiar with the underground and buses and I believe they have water-taxi's as well- I will save that for warmer weather ;-)

Our Ayurveda Doctor arrived yesterday and being in his presence has rekindled the desire to study further... Let's see what happens over the coming days! YES! I CAN DO ANYTHING :-)
