Four Month Check Up

Since we last posted, we’ve moved from South East Asia to Oceania and back again. A lot has happened since; good things, some of it tough, all lessons in one way or another. The big take aways being that for us travel is nice, but wasn’t fulfilling. We both yearned for activities that promoted personal growth, which we hadn’t found roaming the South East Asian countryside.

…That is until we arrived in Bali.

We met and old friend Danielle and made our way Nusa Lembongan, a small island off the coast. As we drove out via ferry the volcano known as Mt. Agung started to erupt behind us. Danielle left after only a day, but we ended up staying in on the island for 3 weeks. The erupting volcano kept new tourists away and we took advantage, surfing, getting scuba certified and practicing yoga on an island almost all to ourselves. It felt great and gave us a new sense of purpose.

After which we headed over to Ubud where we found ourselves at the epicenter of Yoga in Bali the Yoga Barn. We practiced almost twice a day, and attended workshops for a few weeks and really started to feel like ourselves again. Since then we’ve traveled with friends in Bali, Cambodia and most recently southern Thailand. Our spirits have been high and we are more at ease and comfortable with ourselves since we’ve left home.

It’s been a lot to process and sharing via this platform just hasn’t felt right until recently.

We’re currently at a stay at an Ashram in Haridwar in Northern India and will be here for about 4 weeks. We're practice yoga, meditation and enjoying all that being part of an Eastern Education Center brings with it. After which we’re planning on heading back to Bali to complete a Yoga Teacher Training and Shamanic Breath-work course taught by a fellow Oregonian and Burner!

It feels a little surreal to be this excited to start down this path as it’s unraveled before us. When we stepped foot on that plane we vowed to stay open to where the path could lead us and hold back judgment. I guess the biggest surprise for us hasn’t come from the outside world, but rather what was inside us.

We are so grateful to our family and friends for supporting us on this journey. Whether you know it or not, you are loved. We’re excited to see where this goes.
