Sangha Holiday
The sangha holiday in vieussan in 2010 was the first time i have ever really been on holiday. It was truly wonderful. I can’t decide on my favourite moment but the magical camping spot by the river, the trees, the constant picnic of sangha friends on the rug, the water jug, ellaya’s story with kristien and peter’s music, rock jumping, a sneaky aperitif at the blue lizard in the sunset hearing Tom’s tales of the fall of the Berlin wall, moonlit singing-improvisations in the wind by the river, Milan’s peach curry, getting my feet and hip massaged at the same time without even expecting or hoping, my delicious romance, the amazing goat cheese, the sharing circle, my fellow river-swimmers who made it all so special, the spirit, kindness, peace and love of it all. I have rarely felt such joy!

For me the sangha holiday was a chance to stop and relax. a chance to be free and spontaneous, a chance to let nature lead the motion of life and naturally charge whatever needs charging. all this having people around, experiencing sangha life in its simple and beautiful form. having a chance to be kind to myself, other people and the environment we are living in. But most of all, a chance to taste what a clear and calm mind feels like.
Thanks for making it happen.

a harmonious, supportive and respectful attitude which allowed a relaxed and non-pressured situation to arise and be enjoyed. just as one would wish a holiday, indeed all of life, to be.
