Tramping with Panache

I've left the Land's farm and headed down south to Mangawhai Heads. For the last few weeks I've stayed with a family I met at a farmer's market. Craig and Gabrielle buy/sell organics, and while I stayed there I learned a lot about the effects of what you put in your body. Eating organic, fresh food makes me feel light and full or energy- something I guess I knew, but never really made the effort to practice. I also learned about cleansing the body, through fasting and other ways of removing the physical blockages that build up in our bodies from the time we start consuming food. I spent 10 days fasting on the beach and tried a liver cleanse, too. Now I am headed back to the Vipassana center where I will serve a course. Then... who knows?!
