Over the next three weeks I will be out of touch with the digital world.
While the thought makes me feel anxious, there is a part of me that is yearning for the calm of a mind that is not consumed by technological stimuli.
Where am I going?
Two different places.
The first place is an over-indulgent, all-inclusive week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Here is a link to see where we'll be staying.
The second place on my list of travels is where the real change of pace comes in. I'll be attending a 10-day silent retreat at the Dhamma Surabhi Vipassana Meditation Centre of British Columbia. Ten days of no speaking, gestures, reading, writing, or electronics.
Ten days of being.
I encourage you to click on this link and to read the Code of Conduct - it's going to be a real treat to escape from everything and just be me.
I'm hoping that when I get back on the 28th of July, I will be ready to resume daily blogging. I know for certain that I will be itching to get into my art upon my return!
I hope you'll all enjoy your Julys and that you'll join me in August!
Much love,
Shannon
