Firefly Retreat

I booked a spot on a yoga retreat the morning I left Canggu and arrived just 3 hours later.

It was located next to the rice fields away from the hustle and bustle of the Center. I thought it would give me the soft and relaxed environment I needed to process my separation from both Chiang Mai itself /my new close friend Ping. [This goodbye has actually been pretty hard for me, Thailand started to feel like home and I found one of the deepest connections that I’ve had to another person- that sort of instant close friend, the one where small talk is never necessary, where you can fully be yourself. I feel like I’ve known her for years and I miss her so much every single day!]

The retreat did not give me what I wanted, rather what I needed… it gave me a mirror to look at myself from a different angle. It challenged me not in my body but in my mind. And it also reconfirmed for me that I’m on the right path.
