Weekend at Gowry Art Institute, dynamic space for creative interaction, by the river...

I have known rivers...
I have known rivers ancient as the world and
Older than the flow of human blood in human rivers
My soul has grown deep like the rivers...
Langston Hughes

And this is what your soul will do if you ever dare to join the Gowry Art Institute, and get accepted by Sajitha, to come and stay for a few weeks and work on your...creativity, your soul, your connection to nature, to Gaia...

What an amazing place, one hour away from Trivandrum... or 2 if you take buses, wandering in the mountains, coming to Ponmudi Valley, on the way to Kallar...
What a trip from Amritapuri: 2 trains, 2 buses, 2 rickshaw... 5 hours later, discover the peace of this beautiful river by the mystic mountains of south Kerala...
Its village chamane, the local massage therapists that turn into amazing singers at night...
And the amazing Sajitha, helping people around, building houses, inspiring people to improve their lives, to get deeper inside and connect with the Core...
What a weekend again singing with Walid and local guys this time!
Ayurvedic massage...
Chamanic consultation... 'your cancer will not grow'... polips will disappear soon... take the spirit of the mountains... and these medication will cure you, physically... your soul too...
Strange sensation to be back 10 years ago in Peru...

Ayurveda massage: my first one: amazing feeling: your whole body is oiled, but big time!!... and you have 3 strong men massaging you energetically for an hour, from feet to head...laying on a wooden table...lots of incent, smells...
followed by an amazing steam bath, in a cabin.


Our friend Sajitha, the artist, painter, poet, link... inspiration of beauty... inside... outside: see in INSPIRING section for her work details



And of course my buddy, soul brother, Walid having a ball!!

Amazing food: of course rice, but organic one (from the farms around...) About rice: my favorite joke at the ashram: when standing in line, looking very serially at your indian neighbor and asking: 'I really hope that we will get some rice today!' They don't always get it... bit love it!
