Namaste amazing beings,

Our adventure is carrying on wonderfully in India :)

About 1 month after the cyclone Thane hit the Tamil Nadu and everything is like normal again. Our way of living is different thought as it was a wonderful lesson to learn how not to be so dependent on electrical stuff.

Anyway i have made my favorite tea in hot water and before to get to work i thought i will write a few words about our lives here in this present time.

First of all, the place where we are living until the beginning of March is wonderful, it is like a community where live Sandro who is German visiting India since 6 months, He came to be a Yoga teacher, Elana who is a Californian woman living in Turquia, Sarah who arrived in December from California, Michelle from Israel, Gilles who is from France and lived in California also for 40 years. We all get on so well and love being here.

Regarding my occupation, i work for an NGO (Non Governmental Organization) in a Health Center, i am making a presentation about “Food as Medicine” to help the Tamil woman to prevent infection, illness and to use prevention thanks to the food available here. We are also trying to put in place new habits such as eating brown rice instead of white and so on. It is amazingly interesting. Also every single essentials oils, back remedies and flower remedies are available so i am classifying them and learning about all, for the ones who know me you will know what that mean to me :)... Anyway this is in the morning; i am there from around 9 to 12h30. The people i am working with are amazing.

In the afternoon around 2 i meet Christine who also work with me at the health center because i have been ask to help organizing the “International festival of the Woman Theater” which will take place one week in March. There will be 2 representations in Auroville and one in Pondy. This experience is fantastic and the Christine and me cannot stop laughing in each other presence which is so therapeutic.

Lhasa has adapted like a fish in the deep sea at her new school. She LOVES it. Every morning i take her on my moppet and of course she loves it. Her school is English but there is all nationalities. It is about human unity and universal consciousness. I never saw Lhasa learning so fast and happy to do her home. This active and free progress oriented approach classrooms are replaced by areas of work and play, where children can move freely, following their own rhythm and inner guidance. These different areas are: Languages, Mathematics, World and Science, Arts, Role-play, Workshop (clay/carpentry), cooking, Garden and sports ground. In each of these areas children can find a variety of consciously chosen material, and a guiding person to assist them. The teachers also make sure that the prepared environment is always organized, safe and updated with new material. Besides this, several projects of different duration are always offered in which children can choose to participate.

Two to three times a month, there is an excursion.

They eat at school, everything is self product and from the garden which is organic. Then every afternoon they have sport which consists at doing games. Lhasa comes back with a HUGE smile on her face every afternoon and she feels so excited to tell me about her day at school.

Life here is so easy and so special in the same time. We are in front of so much contrast. But the heart of the people here is so open that it gives me emotion sometimes to see how some people with nothing will give you the little they have just to make you smile. They are not expecting anything in exchange.

I have so much more to say but i have to go to work. I miss my friends, but every morning i wake up feeling the blessing of feeling so much love for people who are now so far away from me.

Next blog will be on my meeting with Wilma, my 2 hours massage with Shamboo, the week of Yoga, the cow attacking me, the smell of incense everywhere. :)

Peace Equality Love

Namaste my friends :)
