I will be staying at the ashram for two weeks! I am really looking forward to my time there and I'm going in with very few expectations of what the two week journey will be like. I have been asked lots of questions regarding this part of my trip such as:
- What is an ashram?
- What do you do there?
- Why are you going?
- Are you scared?
- Will you chant?
- What will you eat?
- How much does it cost?
- Are you religious?
Here is my daily schedule:
0520 hrs WAKE UP BELL
0600 hrs SATSANG (meditation)
0730 hrs TEA TIME
0800 hrs ASANA CLASS (yoga)
1000 hrs BRUNCH
1100 hrs KARMA YOGA (volunteer work - I can only imagine what I will be assigned)
1230 hrs COACHING CLASS (optional)
1330 hrs TEA TIME
1400 hrs LECTURE
1600 hrs ASANA CLASS
1800 hrs DINNER
2000 hrs SATSANG
2200 hrs LIGHTS OUT
The entire schedule is mandatory....
There you have it! Looks pretty damn good to me. I don't think I will have computer access when I am there. On my day off, if I leave the ashram, I may be able to find an internet spot but I'm not really sure. This means more than likely, you will not be hearing from me again until December 30th. Now, my fellow bloggers have told me I will lose readership with such a gap but I look forward to giving you a blow by blow of ashram life and then the remainder of my travells.

PS, as I write this there a light snow falling outside and it is beautiful.
Hi Tracy,
It has been wonderful reading your posts. I feel like I am vicariously there with you. Instead I am finishing up the last paper of the first semester... so far so good. We had our first snow last evening, I was driving over Lion's Gate Bridge, the city was awash with white flakes and Christmas lights, quite magical really. I think the ashram sounds great. A structure and rhytmn to fall into and go where the experience leads. I look forward to the 'blow-by-blow' when its done. Blessings for this next journey,
love from Dianne W
You lost 'Ginger Vitis' at no computer access....You lost me at "only two meals a day". By the time you get I ecpect you'll be so flexible you'll be able to tie yourself in a knot!!
I'm heading to Sugarloaf on the 20th and back on the 24th, then Mom's for xmas day. I'll be checking in though in case you get a chance to post.
Have fun and Happy Ho!Ho!
