Lovely Spring 2013

By -
It seems just so close in our past when the nights were long and the North winds blew cold at night, chilly Winter for us down this beautiful Baja California peninsula. But now the days grow longer and day temperatures grow progressively warmer, yet nights are still cool and incredibly beautiful, a tapestry of stars.


 Stargazing continues to be one of our favorite activities with our friend Mariana Ledesma, her story telling and guided tour of our starry night is a wonderful experience to share. Miguel Marquez Tavella continues to make the best artisan goat cheese from our small heard, and together with Pan de Les a wonderful European bread maker they make our guests relish on their well combined flavors.

 

Did I say goats! Yes we have new babies in our corral, soft coats and crazy jumping personalities, they are a pleasure to watch and feel.



 

As every Spring, we hosted a fun and delightful yoga retreat  with our fan and supporter Karen Lindenberg from Phyzz Yoga Studio in Seattle Washington. Their theme this year was PURNA, wholeness. That is how we all felt as we lay down for savasana after doing yoga at sunset and the star full sky greeted our rested souls. Gentle waves, and birds coming home for the night, our musical background.

We all did our intention planting sticks, those that hold our good intentions as seeds to plant into our lives, wrapped in beauty and color, they hold our energy and positive thoughts.

 We have been busy, and we are grateful for life, for the love we feel and hold in our hearts, for the friends and family that share this space in time with us. Thank you all for continuing to be part of this dream unfolding into a beautiful reality!


Namaste!

                                                  Photo Credit:  www.dreamstime.com This week at La Duna we wrapped up our five day Inner Connection Journey into Nature retreat. It was a beautiful gathering of individuals both teachers and students, coming together to embrace the earth, renew their souls, and express themselves through art, sensory awareness, Qigong, and nature. This event inspired me to come up with this simple list of 5 ways one can deepen their connection to nature. 1. Wake up early to watch the sunrise. La Duna is a perfect setting for this wonderful experience. Each day wake up before dawn and walk over the magnificent dunes to watch the glorious sunrise over the mountains and water. Sit there in silence and with gratitude for a rich experience. Thank the sun for giving us a new day and for shining so brightly upon us. Listen to the waves lap against the shore and watch the frigatebirds soar high above like dancers in the sky.
