Amazing Recent Trip to UK & Ireland

I went back to London after three years of being away. It was amazing to be back!

When I left back then I was heart broken and breaking up a significant relationship. I had it that all of the London experience then was against me. How dramatic! Ha ha ha. I loved drama back then.

Anyway, I returned there mid-September and had just the best time imagineable.

I went to the Yoga Show at Olympia Halls and took lovely classes in different types of Yoga and Pilates. The classes were great. But even better was running into old friends I had not seen in years. I got a great welcome from so many people - Mel Donovan, Soliman, Paul Terrell and of course Pat Sawyer and Frank Pitts. I felt just like I was home again.

I also met Seda who has a retreat center in Turkey named Surya (the sun). I really want to organize a tour to Turkey next year and check out her place. Why not?

I purposely saw my ex at the end of the show and thanked him for all the lessons and contributions. I felt so complete. London proved to be outstanding better then I can ever remember.

On Wednesday 20 Sept, I held a Tantra gathering in the flat I had in Primrose Hill. A bunch of people came to do an Osho Meditation and to meet me. We had a ball. We did dancing in place and then Gibberish followed by silent meditation. Despite the train sounds, we were able to get very calm in a limited time frame. We then had snacks and got to know each other a little better. I believe it was fun for all.

An important Tantra person who attended was Kavida Rei from www.TantraLink.co.uk. When we looked into each other's eyes, we had to laugh because we are twins in a certain way. How wonderful!

Over the following weekend, I went to Essex to a place called Alto-Sax Retreat Centre. There I led a Tantra & Bliss weekend and got to know some more wonderful people. What a fantastic weekend we had in a 600 year old farm house, swimming pool and hot tub plus fabulous food. I never imagined it would be so good.

What can I say? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all for showing up and for tranforming my UK experience.

I have just set my dates to go back there. I can hardly wait now. June 22 -24 will be the next Tantra & Bliss workshop at Alto-Sax. I will plan other events in London on either side of that weekend.

And while I'm on the subject of mentioning amazing people, acknowledging them for making my UK experience the best ever, I want to thank Kirsty Alison and Alexx Snelling who I met in Goa last January. Kirsty opened her contact list to me to help promote my upcoming book release and then together, they decided to accompany me back to India this November to make a video of the Heart of India Tour

How good can it get?. Yeah, Baby!

After all this, I went to Ireland and toured around with two of my old friends from high school Pat (Seaman) Corrigan and Tom Bechtle. How much fun we had! We laughed all the way aournd the west and south coasts probably the most beautiful country in the world. The greens are greener than anything I have ever seen. How can grass be that green? And the sky there was bluer than blue. Ireland is known as The Jewel. I can definitely see why - when you have such pure colors, why do you need diamonds? All you do is look up or look all around and you are rich.

I'll be writing more regularly again as the India tour takes off. Stay tuned.
