finally, at home again in greece

last summer we were fortunate enough to spend some time at osho afroz. we loved it loved it loved it. at one point, while at the volcanic black sand nudist beach just a 10 minute drive from the osho afroz center nisarga says: i have no need to go anywhere else, this is paradise for me, i have everything here. its like a second home to us both.

this year i realized how important that is for me. that i have found a place where i feel at home, in greece! after my grandmother died in 1995 i felt there wasnt much left for me in greece. i didnt return for 8 years. when i finally did my father and i fought like cats and dogs. in 2005 he sold the family home, after selling off all the other family property, called my mother and told her that he has no forwarding number or address and that if something happens to him someone will be in touch. needless to say i REALLY didnt feel like there was anything left for me in greece at that point. after a couple of years of distance, and some therapy, i returned, and it felt good... i had so missed being at peace in greece. but june 2009 i discovered osho afroz, and i participated in the primal and tantra group there and it was sooooo important for me to do that IN greece, with greece food, language, smells, sights all around me. we stayed for all of july 2009, and then i returned in september for 2 weeks while nisarga went to pune.

this year we were only there for 2 weeks, the last two of may. but straight from the beginning we decided, yes! next year we will be back for a few months. and it is important for me that nisarga feels so at home here. because this is foreign to him actually, but he loves the food, plays with the language, basks in the weather. and it is so wonderful for me to know that my husband feels this way. so this is lesvos, osho afroz, and the beach at skala... our second home
