The Force Awakens...
"Run from what's comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I'll be mad.” Rumi
The start of a new orbit around the sun means an opportunity for charting new adventures, setting audacious goals, re-architecting your life & transforming those parts that you wish to expand & releasing all that no longer serves you.
Having recently read Michael Singer’s marvelous “The Surrender Experiment” documenting his incredible business, personal & spiritual travelog, my theme for 2016 was clear: “Surrender” to the opportunities that are presented to you without judgement.
To that end, a friend that I had met at Awesomeness Fest, indicated he was leading a Shamanic retreat to Peru to participate in the traditional Incan Ayahuasca San Pedro visionary ceremonies, explore the Sacred Valley of the Inca & ultimately arrive at that legendary home of the Inca in the high Andes, Machu Picchu.

It turns out that that the trip had planned by coincidence to land in Machu Picchu on the the very day of my birthday (February 14th), and I thought, now that’s majestically synchronous... where better in the world to spend a truly epic birthday than in the presence of one of the 7 wonders of the world & the holder of so much ancient spirituality & wisdom?
So...after a little meditation, a little contemplation and a quick perusal through the results of some Kayak flight research, the opportunity of a great flight deal from SFO to LIM appeared. Naturally, in accordance with the mantra/theme of 2106 I simply surrendered & pulled the trigger. Let the journey begin... Namaste. M
