Goodbye, Slocan Valley

So it's day 14 of the program and finally time to say goodbye to Little Slocan Lodge, our home away from home.

What an incredible time we have had here! Being nestled between the mountains has been nothing if not an inspirational way to build our community and start our Redfish journey together.

Thankfully, we had full license to go out with a bang because it was Neelam's birthday yesterday! Of course, we had an epic kitchen dance party until the wee ours of the morning, with some intermittent howling at the moon. We also had a really wonderful metaphors in music jam session last night. It was amazing to compare this session with our last one almost two weeks ago. We were SO much smoother. It seems that our whole group is just on the same page, we each know where we fit in to make some beautiful music.

A highlight of the past few days was the BBQ at Nadine's house in New Denver. We all got to practice our mingling skills, as well as our local-organic burger-flipping skills. Thankfully, we were successful at both! It was wonderful to be able to network with so many of the active citizens in this area; their dedication to their actions was pretty incredible to see.

Well, its time to head out. (if I keep typing we might miss the only bus out of Castlegar, and I don't know how happy everyone would be with that...) Blog posts may be very limited for the next while, because we are going internet free to the farm and then on the canoe trip!

See you down the river!
