This was the trip I had been hoping for fun, relaxing, informative and educational. When I booked my stay at this boutique hotel in Singapore and my attendance at the conference I has no idea what a great time I was in for. A gathering of energy workers from across the world and from man y different traditions and modalities were there. Arriving in Singapore in a sunny and clear day it was very welcoming and made me feel even better about the events coming this week. A good sign I thought. Checking in to the hotel went smoothly the staff was gracious and very welcoming. I was located near the waterfront where taking morning walks was very lovely. I like to get up early and walk around at sunrise it was a very nice time to be out and walking. Not too hot and the sun low on the horizon makes for very pretty sights. The city is quietest at this time of day, I enjoyed that too. The conferences and workshops were very informative. demonstrations and technique tuning were big items. Meeting people with the same interest and focus was a good thing too. Understanding the different traditions behind the work people from various parts of the world do. Many shanen and women of various indigenous traditions gave a series of talks on the work they do and the similarities in the different practices from all around the world. The evening were full of meeting new people and processing the information I had taken in. Still going over it all in my head and absorbing it all as I finish packing up and getting to bed before I fly out in the morning. Looking forward to getting home, sorry to be leaving Singapore.
