basic reflections

Back in Bombay!

Hey Guys,

So we are all back in Bombay I guess, after a fruitful workshop in Hampi. On the right there's me, enjoying a moment of peace and serenity in Goa, where several of us chilled out after the workshop. As soon as my brain gets going again I shall share my thoughts with you and meanwhile here are some photos.

Our trip really  began with Timbaktu. Here is Bablu and Mary's haven, where we gathered for lunch and dinner and a pre-lunch beer.

Asha - our cook and general smart alec soaking in the countryside.

 

Onwards to Hampi for Samuel's workshop on "Coming Home". Brilliant setting by any standards. The immense boulders piled on top of each other all around the countryside can't help but inspire feelings of awe.

 

Rishimukh - the place where Peter and Franziska live and where the workshop was held. In the picture you see one of the cottages where some of us stayed.

And finally chilling out in Goa. In the pic you see Gursel (our friend from Turkey) and Sudha with Suhail in the background.

Back with more very soon!
