For more than ten years I have been going every July to Ontario, Canada, for a retreat with Amma. Some years the weather feels cool which I thoroughly enjoy coming from California, and yet much to my surprise, there are often times when the temperature feels similar to where I live… hot.

2017 and 2018 were a couple of these hotter years! On both occasions I made my way down to Lake Ontario with the hope of cooling off and it worked!

A local showing me how it’s done and inviting me to join… maybe next year!
