Greetings from Jordan. Here are a few pictures of this desert jewel. A view of a desert hot spring oasis...
A nice place to do my morning practice.
One of the hot spring pools for soaking.
Mo sitting in a hot spring waterfall meditating.
Some of the folks at the weekend retreat.
Which way is home?
The road into the Wadi (canyon)....
The Dead Sea......
Salt formations in the Dead Sea.....
Covered in mud at the Dead Sea. We just pulled off the road and walked down to the sea for a soak and mud bath on our way home.
Greetings from Amman, Jordan. I just completed my first weekend workshop here and it went over really well. I had 12 people attend and hopefully next weekend we'll double our numbers. Jordan is a spectacular land. The workshop was at a retreat center located in a wadi (canyon) leading down to the Dead Sea. The retreat center is situated 300 meters below sea level. The landscape is dry, dusty, hot, mountainous, and rugged.....but deep in the canyon is a little oasis.....with cascading hot spring waterfalls. The entire river in the canyon is hot too, about 120 degrees.
I am being hosted here by my friend Santi Vege. Santi was a guest at AshtangaLanka (http://www.ashtangalanka.com/) this past winter in Sri Lanka. She enjoyed what I was teaching and invited me to come spend a few weeks in Jordan sharing with her yoga community. I am very thankful to Santi's yoga teacher, Alex Yashina, who helped organize these weekend workshops and gather people.
I hope that you are all having a great summer. Blessings, Jacob
