Back to Dunsborough

Its been more than a few days since my last post, this last week has been so hectic (in the best way ever) that I haven't had a single second to type anything out.  After flying back to Perth, I was super stressed after having had some issues with the rental car agency and having to make a mad dash not to miss the plane, but this residual stress turned out to be the effects of the radiation you get exposed to when flying, because as soon as I went down to the beach and immersed myself completely in the water, the radiation was discharged into the earth along with all of the stress and worries.  My friend Shane and I picked up some awesome raw food treats (raw açaí ice cream, almond coconut cake, spicy kale chips, and glass-bottled spring water) from Manna in Perth and spent the afternoon cruising the beaches talking to lovely Perthians about superfoods (a few of them were into it, but most weren't ready for it... yet... but we planted the seed).  The next morning we made the 3 hour drive down to Dunsborough... how amazing it was to come home back into nature... not trees planted in the sidewalk or next to houses, but wild untamed raw nature.  It was also great to get back to Samudra and see everyone's amazing smiling faces that I hadn't seen in three weeks

The next day the day was the start of the David Wolfe retreat at Samudra.  As a part of the retreat, we went on a bushwalk with a member of the local Wardandi tribe who showed us a variety of wild foods and medicines used by her people.  

The next night we had a chocolate making class with David, making a special chocolate that hadn't been made since my last retreat with him in Costa Rica.  It is called "Sin Azucar," which is Spanish for without sugar and is also a play on the word sin because you are indulging in chocolate, which some might say is a sin, but it is sugarless, so its all good!  This is more than just a sugarless chocolate, it is loaded with 20+ powerful superherbs. which not only heal you, but also get you significantly high.  It was so good, I made 22 kilos (48 pounds) of it for the one night David Wolfe talk and chocolate party on Saturday night, which almost 300 people attended.  One night, David, myself, and eight other wild superfoodists had a super elixir blend-off... so much fun!  This is how superheros live!  We concocted every extreme superfood/superherb drink imaginable and then the cacao butter came out....  I'll let you decipher that one on your own.

The whole week was absolutely phenomenal and I'm super stoked to be back in Dunsborough and to have gotten to hang with David out here and make incredible chocolate and elixirs with him.  Today David and his crew left to Bali... they tried to get me to come with them, but alas I have to work... and its pretty amazing where I am.  Bali is definitely in the future plans for me though.  In addition to my daily astanga yoga practice, I've now also started an advanced yoga studies course, which is bound to take me to new levels.  Signing off for now... below is a photo of some of the David Wolfe retreat group.  Look at the view in the second photo to see whats making us smile so much!
