Danza Primordial

 Back at Tinku for a session of Danza Primordial - an interesting experience where we visited our different chakras beginning with The Earth and our Ancestors.  A lovely experience with lots of lovely images and feelings.
 Meg of course made friends with the animals.
 Yoga.
 Dog walking at Alangasi with the PAE - Ecuador's equivalent of the RSPCA.  They have 130 dogs at this centre.




Touching base with Permaculture again in Ecuador.



Working back in Ecuador - More of a focus on people care this time, starting with ourselves.  The Hobbit House.
 The rain season starts - view across from our Hobbit House.
 At Centro Tinku in Quito where there is always lots of warmth and and a welcome.  A Permaculture Centre in the heart of an urban area near the Hospital Metropolitano - built on an abandoned concrete basketball court.



Megan with a new friend - Guardian.


 Helping out at the Minga - when people get together to work as a community on a project.
 A feast on the open fire.

The Journey Begins

In actual fact the journey began some time ago. The Design course has reinforced decisions that had already been made and given me the tools to put together some sort of plan to make that first step a little less daunting. I returned from the two week course today and although extremely tired I have been so motivated not just by the course, but by the people I had the good fortune to meet, that I have created this blog. I owe a great deal of thanks to those people, for their inspiration, support and a great deal of laughter. I'm not sure what the outcomes will be, but I am sure it will be an interesting journey and welcome you to join me.
