In August 2003 I went to a meditation retreat in Oregon which lasted 2 weeks…I ended up staying 9 months! It was a great experience and I met loads of interesting nice people. Everyone there was there for a spiritually minded purpose. I loved the feeling of peace and love that filled the atmosphere. I helped out with many duties on the farm, such as cleaning, gardening, and preparing food. Meditation was such a pure experience there. During summer, I enjoyed going down the road to the Umpqua River and taking a swim during the warm, sunny weather. I helped pick herbs and chamomile flowers for tea. During the fall, I got to eat fresh organic pears and apples everyday! I also braved pushing loads of compost with my huge rain clothes in the rain, and falling down in the mud..haha. The rain made the dry grass come alive again in winter, with the most green hues I have seen in nature. The clean air and spring water revived my spirit, along with meditation and walks through the forests. This was the untimate naturous experience in my short life.
