A special lunch today — a traditional meal served on a banana leaf — usually shared once a year at a festival. A standing ovation for all of the staff who helped make and serve the food. We feel so cared for here by the staff.

We delight in the pride and joy our hosts show in sharing culture through food and service. The sharing of food and the culture that shapes it is a ritual that shapes and expands our heart consciousness.

Such a blessing to be here.
Namaste.
