Update from the past few weeks
Back in Jerusalem now, but inbetween I spent a week out in nature at the global awareness summer gathering. It's a permaculture group that kinda rally's behind Ishmael. We built cob stoves and compost toilets and a structure, then workshops began. They were mainly in hebrew, but it was ok because Shira and I did reiki 1 stuff. I spent a night at the kenerit and then close to a week in tsfat. I still haven't gotten used to the israeli idea of a spring yet, they are quite cute actually.
As soon as I got to Tzfat I bumbed into Barbra, then after that met some people talking about bio-desiel in english. He was making organic orange and cherry liquore, and had made a 100 bottles of wine from the grapes that grew on his roof. There was alot of really conciencious environmental stuff going on there. I ended up staying on the roof of the center for healthy living wich is a pretty neat project doing some urban sustainability stuff and also bringing life back to the fruit trees that have been neglected since israel reclaimed the city in 48.
But Tzfat also has alot of really intense stuff going on. I think too many people get too far into kabbalah and try to rap their heads around it all. There was a real split between really wonderful people there and some other ones who had the coldest eyes I've ever seen.
