An amazing day walking my favourite path in pure Cretan nature, old rocks, new flowers, animals, colours and scents. Meditation on the go. Walking sticks felt funny as I don’t use them, but it was ok for a bit of extra exercise. What can I say: walk this way…!
A workshop organised with my friend Joelle (who happened to have a yurt in Crete) and guided by Grandma Olga who knows the best horta and isn’t afraid to share it with the public.
