Silent retreats--

A few weeks ago I started going down to the Casita above Peace Falls for a day of silence and fasting.  The "re-set" each time I do this is wonderful. Each time is different, with different things coming up for contemplation.  I also realized that if i do this once a week, that's equal to 52 days of fasting a year.  Even if i don't get it in every week that is still going to be a boon for my health.  I'v always wanted to follow the Ayurvedic advice of fasting one day a week for good health.

I've since offered it to anyone else who wants to try.  It's a great way to dip your toe into being with yourself and a good preparation for any longer silence retreat.  So far, two guests from Finca De Vida have gone down for retreat and each one has had great benefit from it.
Here is a video of Heather who i will likely blog with again. She did her first day staying by herself and in silence.  It may not be like this for everyone but it's wonderful that by offering this little casita in this magical place that 24 hours can be something to remember for a life time.

On the way back up to FDV, we saw this...






 I've never seen a hawk sitting on a cow before and thought it somehow significant of Heather's first time "day of silence" and how opposites can exist in harmony.
