We were up in Batemans Bay for a workshop today and we also need to see the place as the CF venue for this March’s event. I got up at 6 and we took off at about 7am in the morning. The weather was silly and funny. It rained along in the morning from QBN to Bungendore, then became all sunny and bring at Batemans Bay. On the way home this afternoon, we can see the big dark clouds hovering over the QBN direction and we were wondering if it was pouring.
The trip was great. One of my colleagues drove and we sort of chatted along, so time felt passing by much quicker. I still don’t like the winding roads from Braidwood to Batemans Bay. I would always avoid it if I could. It was the funny feeling that I never felt safe on this road and I had never ever enjoyed sitting in the front to watching cars coming from the opposite lane at all. Sometimes it’s not all about confidence but more like the sense about the life, the dimensions of the whole existence up there. After my husband’s recent episode, my perception about danger kind of deepened and I started to fear what I had never feared before.
then I will do my very first outdoor Yoga practise in my life
Believe it or not, the topic of today’s workshop was also a bit of dark: Grief and Bereavement. I heard of lots of sad stories about losses, death of love ones, people’s perception at their terminal stage of life, after suicide feelings, the reaction towards missing family members and then how they felt after the dead body was found. There were poems, paintings, stories and the means of creative saying goodbye, but there was not tears. I’ve seen the sadness but more about the understanding of all the negative feelings and I was amazed by the positive way in which was narrated by the guest speakers and I couldn’t believe most of time we laughed.
Anyway, it’s just a part of our purpose to be here. The Coach House is perfect and we toured ourselve around to tick the things off from our checklist. I love the cabins a lot and wondered what it would feel like if we had Yoga outside. I was so recharged after seen this place (especially after several days’ stressed-out) and looked forward to coming along next month. So I will see you in the March.
