May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings be free of suffering.
May all beings be liberated.
May all beings realize their essence and live this fully, completely and utterly!

Pillars of Presence

A few images from within Jardin de Mar...





































And, in the surrounding area...









































The group of friends retreating!








Along with our wonderful host, Amin, seated at the bottom right.








I loved this retreat!  


It was a successful experiment... 5 days together. Fantastic stillness, fantastic friends, fantastic food, fantastic weather, a night of raining stars, and a full moon!


It revealed itself early on as the 'Pillars of Presence Retreat'... not surprising, as we had visited the Virgin of Pilar (pillar) a few days before the retreat (on the advice of a friend). She must have had a great influence! On the last day of the retreat, October 12, one of our friends told us that it was the fiesta of Pilar that day, a holiday! (The fiesta is why the retreat could be longer this year.) What a synchronicity! I really had no idea. We visited her before, she was present during the retreat and the last day was dedicated to her throughout Spain. She had a great presence at the retreat... birthing pillars of Presence.



Thank you to all!


Si Dios quiere (God willing), see you next year!
