Pears, Sun and Swimming

Well, woke up today to a beautiful sunrise over the Aegean Sea. It was only 7.00am , but the air was warm and it was completely silent. I could not resist standing for a few minutes to watch the sun rise!

However, I was preparing breakfast, and with 25 hungry people about to wake up and want some food after their Tai Chi Shibashi, I went to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea before cooking.

Breakfast was fresh fruit, with greek yoghurt! I am not sure how the Greeks do it, but their yoghurt is amazing! It is always nice to sit outside and have breakfast with the staff, guests and workshop participants! This week we have Satsang with Gaia and Venu.  After breakfast we had the staff attunement and meeting where we decided to harvest our pears. The centre here has 2 big peae trees which have been dropping pears for a couple of weeks. It required a team of people - one to climb the ladder and shake the tree, and two to run around under catching the pears with blankets!

We harvested quite a few pears this way and were able to enjoy them for lunch!

After lunch we all piled into our wee micras, or walked down to the beach and enjoyed a refreshing swim and time to sunbathe!

Then tonight some people went to spiritual dancing and music, before we all head down to the local Taverna in Kissos for dinner.

Once again I feel so lucky to be here at Kalikalos, with great people, beautiful scenery and enjoying living in lovely community!
