the last day - the yellow day - in honour of joy and celebration
...and on the final evening our temple was full of magic, as we played a concert and sang for the guests who came to join us...
..as we continue to celebrate the mystery!
jai ganesha relaxes on the altar among the malas and flowers...
and the full moon rises over arillas
during the green day (compassion) we listened to a discourse from h.h. the dalai lama
and shared the connection through the sufi dances
and enjoyed the luxury of a deserted beach in the afternoon...
in the evening we had a party!
here’s the star of the show – hortense, and her supporting cast...
christian, alexis, nathalie (hidden), carmen, henri-pierre (papa), kiya, salima (mama)
along with nanda...
...ali and angela...
...and (jerry lee) vikas with his guitarist...
and peter led the men in a traditional greek circle dance...phew...which the women seemed to enjoy.
4th day - the colour black, signifying peace, silence and meditation.
this is rafia sharing energy during the meditation structure.
in the warm afternoon sun, participants shared a sound massage with each other, deepening the silence, through their voices and hands
..and entered into a space of deep love and connection...
this is nataraj watching over us from our altar, as we began our journey into the mystery
rafia led us through the secrets of the ‘lataif’ - a sufi method of self enquiry.
specific colours correspond to the teachings...here’s the white day...(grounding/will)
second day – dancing in the red (strength/courage)
on the beach for the ’mud event’ - this is a mineral-enriched clay that just makes you feel..well..loose!
