Halfway done with Massage School, know a lot of Oriental philosophy!

If this Massage School were an acupuncture school, I suspect we would complete about 7 months of their program (in 3 months!). It is amazing what we are learning and covering here.

Pictures from Crestone

Here are various pictures from around Crestone Colorado I love the snow being blown up into the sky by the strong winds! (Some of Crestone’s 13K+ peaks) Less snow now in March. They had a very odd winter – very little snowfall. There is a large stupa just south of Crestone. Just follow Baca GrandeContinue reading “Pictures from Crestone”

a Full week at massage school

This is / has been quite the week! Fellow participants (students here with me): I have never been a part of a group of higher consciousness individuals – in terms of knowledge of herbalism, nutrition, diet, yoga, etc. Yes there are 4 students who are 24 or younger, but they too are incredible! If thisContinue reading “a Full week at massage school”

Massage school update, and wrestling with Kundalini Yoga conflict

This is my weekly (or biweekly) update from Crestone Colorado, where I am attending a magical, transformative and intense massage school program.
