The buzz around here had been, for several weeks, that the end of September was to be something special. The Jeff Foster Week was highly anticipated by staff and guests alike who had arrived even a week ahead of time. Billed as a discussion workshop on non-dualism, Jeff's seminar drew the largest number of participants this year and of very diverse nationalities. The eclectic group congealed wonderfully and truly fortified the Kali Kalos mission of community.
The discussions themselves included significant insights into the singular nature of existence, lively exchanges of Q&A, deeply emotional introspection and even periods of silence, pregnant with the wisdom to which the group was collectively awakening. The tenor of the week was one of unity, even as guests were divided between the Kissos and Anilio campuses, which resonated throughout the group meals (both in preparing and eating!); evenings of song and poetry around the fire and exploring together the nearby hills and beaches. The final evening brought out a joyful celebration in spite of the goodbyes as the family sang and danced together and enjoyed a delicious spread of home-made, whole wheat pizzas!
It was a wonderful week-long event that underscored the potential of KaliKalos to create and facilitate a space where people come together in the name of spiritual study and find something even greater in the common spirit of the whole. Unforgettable!
