G!

ooops - meant to put this with the last pics... Hey everyone!! I thought I would post a few pictures :)  I only have about 10 minutes right now before class but I really wanted to share a few of the pics and let you know that I'm doing fantastically!

There are people here from all over and I'm learning so much from all of them.  We have intriguing conversations every day.  Our classes are super interesting and learning lots from all the different people here.  Everyone is so lovely and hilarious.  I have been laughing so much that my cheeks now have permanent dimples :)  We've definitely had some interesting times of which I will not post right now!

A bunch of us are sleeping out in a yurt which has been amazing!  It's super cold at night, but we are all sticking together!  I think 10 of us have been sleeping out there thus far. ... people are starting to migrate inside though....

So the pics include some of the grounds.... the Dasha, Farmhouse (original medical clinic), yurt.... waterfalls...wokshop... which is a full fledge woodworking shop.... an exquisite corpse tea party we had the other evening... Today we went clowning for the first time at a senior's home!! SO amazing!   I'm hooked!
