From now until mid December, I have a number of wonderful yoga retreats scheduled at Little Renaissance. Each retreat is unique and special. This past weekend, a group of 7 women and one 6 month-old baby, Dallas, warmed up my home and sanctuary with their smiles, earth energy, their friendship, and their deep love of community, yoga, and nature. It was a privately booked retreat. I have known some of the participants at last weekend’s retreat for well over 15 years.
The retreat was especially unique because Baby Dallas, aka Buddha-Baby, was there to add a deep layer of love and goodness to every aspect of the retreat. Our Buddha Baby Dallas reminds us of what is pure goodness in life. He exists, he laughs, he is entirely in the moment, he has a grounding effect, he is pure love and he absorbs love around him, he observes, he doesn’t judge or draw from past experiences…he simply is a pure being, full of presence, life, and promise. By simply being who he is, he brought us continual joy all weekend.
