So, the present moment finds me in WA, havin a grand time. Been living with my folks, healing and growing my family connections, working at the local organic farm, building concious community, etc. all that good stuff :-).

This farm sure suprised me though. This town in general is very retirement based, conservative, republican. So when i got here i knew the best thing i could put my energy toward would be the local organic farm, but i didn't have high expectations for it. Turns out to be quite the concious grounded vortex. The guys running the show are connected with family from humbolt and so forth. I'm totally stoked on it too, because they're managing to hold down about 400acres of prime farmland in an area of rapidly raising land values and disapearing farmland due to rampant development.

I'm going to move down onto one of the farms next week and look forward to doing agnihotra there. There's even a raw milk dairy across the street! (so plenty of ghee and cow poop available). This place also borders a beautiful and semi-secluded river and i've been dreaming about building a mud hut somewhere by the river.

I've gotten an ecstatic dance going too, in an old 1880's schoolhouse that's near the farm. It would be a great music venue too. The moment i walked in i could see Shimshai playing there! I'd also love to contact Fanna Fi-Allah, and others in the family too. I think we could put together some pretty awsome shows here.

Lot's of other great news too, back in the groove with the local Amma satsang and found a once a week community meditation. There's a little shack that i'm likely moving into that i'd like to make into a healing arts, movement and meditation temple.

If any of you find your way up here (Sequim, WA -north olympic peninsula) give me a holler, atharvan@gmail.com or 360.683.6940 (my folk's number). And if any of you wanna work on the farm there's almost always space :-)

much love ya'll, keep it real
