It's been a lovely warm and connective group here in California - I know some of you have followed Openhand for 10 years or more, hence the wonderful sense of family. And if course, we'll have crossed paths in past lives too - these gatherings never happen by chance. You could especially feel that in the deep journeying that we unfolded through - what adventures!

So go well my fellow travellers, I look forwards to our next convergence point - Seattle possibly in May? Let's see. That would be lovely. Meanwhile I'll leave you with the closing group photo. Fond love and blessings to all

I'd also like to pay special tribute to our charming hosts Chris and Jim (left and centre in the photo below). We felt your love and care which held us beautifully in the space and kept things lovingly warm (even when the hot water ran out!). So a huge cosmic hug coming your way...
