We made it to our retreat space. It is beautiful! Not many participants so Nicole and I are sharing a whole house. We each have our own bedroom and bathroom. My room is upstairs and Nicole’s is on the main level so we each have some personal space.
The bus ride to get here from Cusco was over two hours. We rode on narrow winding roads. Beautiful countryside but lots of speed bumps. I had to close my eyes sometimes when we passed other cars as it was a bit scary. Lots of speed bumps we had to slow down and bounce over. I was very glad when we got here though. I have a touch of altitude adjustment going on.
We had a lovely lunch. Even I managed to eat the food! After lunch the retreat facilitator gave us an overview of the retreat. We have our first ceremony tomorrow. We will drink San Pedro and then have a day of silence.
Sunday and Monday we will be out and about and the plant medicine ceremonies start Monday evening.
Very relaxing so far. Nice people from all over the world in the group. I’m by far the oldest one here. The others are all closer to Nicole’s age.
So far so good!
