This morning I woke up, did yoga and meditation, made a list of self-acknowledgments from the retreat, then started packing for home. I left around 11. Crossed the Golden Gate Bridge around 12:30. It was a clear, sunny day all along the coast. Stopped for a kale salad and did some sketching at a restaurant:

Self-acknowledgment practice this morning

Sketch for Valley of Her Hips

It’s raining kindness

Puddles of kindness and a space of her own

Then I arrived home. Made a sketch of the first things I noticed that signaled “home” for me, what I appreciate about it especially after enjoying the time away, being on my own rhythm:

Arriving home and appreciating the sensations

I guess I’m home now

Here are some other sketches from the retreat:

Inspired by one-room living

Another poetry quote

Poetry quote from last night

And a little self-acknowledgment once I got home:
