Summer solstice!
It’s now June. You know, June never held any special meaning for me, but now it does. From 18th June to 27th June, I will be in New Mexico. That’s in America, not Mexico.. (the amount of times I’ve been asked that). What will I be doing there, I hear? There is a yoga camp held there every year up in Jemez mountains, previously owned by an ancient spiritual red indian tribe called the Hopis. It’s now called Ram Das Puri and is absolutely breath-takingly beautiful. Last year was my first time, and up to 2000 people came and got up every morning at 3am to do meditation!! I’ve never seen anything like it. I went there for the first time and it felt like home. Everyone who attends comes there for one reason, to uplift themselves and others around them. Even if you don’t believe in God, it’s a beautiful place to be. Mr Singh and I didn’t take a camera last time because we wanted to totally immerse ourselves into the experience. This time however, I am taking by brand spanking new nikon D90, with which I will thoroughly enjoy experimenting with. I’m going to try to move out of comfort zone (zoom lens) and experiment with some landscape shots. You could just never go wrong, the land is so beautiful. There have been some shots captured by Gurmustak Singh who is a great photographer, some of which can be seen on Flickr. So watch this space… hopefully next time you visit, you will see some great pictures from 3HO Summer Solstice Camp 2009! With the grace of the Divine.
