A real taste of kirtan in the park

It wasn’t that long ago that I took a walk around one of the most beautiful parks of Barcelona – Parc de I’Estacio del Nord.

This week I had a flashback moment from a small valley I’d visited in the Peruvian Andes a couple of years ago. During that time I spent some months working on the land of a Shaman in exchange for food and accommodation. I remember how I’d trekked a beaten up path to get there, built…

Some of us are faced with environmental suffering, others with financial suffering, some are faced with physical suffering by way of illness or disease and some are even confronted by mental and emotional suffering. Surviving is not an easy job for us humans. Ultimately what…
