November 2004 @ Esalen

On my quest for knowledge and self-discovery, I decided to become a work scholar at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur. The program for the month of November has to do with dealing with transitions in life. Always we're in transition, and I'm learning that how you deal with transition can reveal a lot about who you are. I'm obviously facing a difficult transition period in my life, and I feel that Esalen is exactly where I need to be right now.

This month has been an important step for me, I think. I'm on my way to discovering my path. I'm grateful for all that I've learned here at Esalen so far. This place is special and it's been a truly rewarding experience. I have no doubt that the friendships and bonds I've made here will last a lifetime. Beyond that, I feel deeply connected to the land and the ocean here in Big Sur. If home is where the heart is, I am definitely at home.
