High above the Dead Sea with a breathtaking scenic view is a site named Metzoke Dragot. In the middle of November there was a weekend festival with yoga, meditation, music, dance and lots of play. My plan was to be somewhere else, but the event I originally had in mind was cancelled, and in retrospect I am grateful I was open to the changes and rhythms of life to be here instead – it was really great! The site itself was amazing to experience, the atmosphere was totally relaxed and the chai shop was inviting to chill out and learn to know new people.
Thursday and Friday I spent intensely workshopping, exploring for instance the alchemy of the third chakra, sufi whirling dance and an introduction to shiatsu massage. On the Sunday I was exhausted and just relaxed and walked about. After some family drama I got a lift back to Jerusalem with two very sweet people with singing and joyful togetherness all the way.
My learning: the desert is very cold at night, but warmer under a red blanket.
