I won’t write about terrible things back home. Probably, the universe decided, that also this kind of stuff had to be part of my learning journey. Certainly, what I resently learned in Dragon Dreaming helped to deal with it. Kept me put the most part of the day… internet is not guaranteed, thus for now […]
After luchtime, I walked to the Musum of Art and Crafts, more an historical museum, it seemed. It’s situated on both sides of the train station, linked by a tunnel. Some bigger pieces were placed on one of the platforms. In the exebition mainly pieces from the early colonial era, some with indiginous arts. In […]
What a special day, again! And, how noisy is the city. Not my cup of tea. The hotel reflects the architecture of the 30th. Lot of original elements. What they now use for breakfast was probably the ballroom of the old days. They say, that Belo Horizonte means ‘pretty horizon’, you supose to see the […]
This morning, Felipe came back for an joined breakfast. Before I had to leave for the bus to Belo Horizonte, we still had time for a prolonged check out and a final dragon dreaming celebration. We talked about the deeper meaning of Pinakarri: deep listening. In the check out we reflected to the three generative […]
This morning started in the same quiet and calm sequence as the others. After breakfast I went for an extended walk. Along the crop fields, I came to the community center and from there to the water reservoir at the bottom of the valley. I crossed the reservoir and took the way uphill, along a […]
Had sent some flowers and presents to my birthday girl. Went well, despite the distance 🙂 Happy birthday! For quite some other reasons, this morning like hours the dayes before, disapeared. Couldn’t spent a minute on my quest. Also here, I did my homework om the terras, looking out over the grounds and the valley. […]
And again: waking up with the sounds of the Atlantic Rainforest. And the dogs of the neigbours. Felipe and the children already got to school. From the ecovillage here at the edge of the town, it is still an half hour drive to the city. After breakfast I took a first walk through community property […]
This was the day of our travels to Viçosa. From the learning journey proposal: Now, our journey will lead to the city of Viçosa, also in the state of Minas Gerais, where Dragon Dreaming is being practiced since 2012 at Universidade Federal de Viçosa, connected to the Agroecology and Popular Education movements. It is taught […]
This day, we needed an early start. Another great place had to be discoverd (by me). It’s still a bit a construction side, but with the vision shared by Ana and Felipe – great possibilities. Just at the edge between town and National Parc, uphill (of course). As it is a bit a construction side, […]
He? Packing the bags? Not really what I wanted to do. But our stay here already came to an end. At breakfast, one of the other guests recognised me from the restaurant from the day before. Thus, we talked. He knew more people in the valley from Germany and also from Holland (they are just […]
