We are concluding a wonderful nine-day Avatar workshop in Orlando this weekend. It is truly remarkable that over one thousand people from over twenty countries can come together to learn and work together so well and so harmoniously. I cannot think of any other organization that brings so many people together from such diverse backgrounds, and has them working together so effectively within a day or two. People from different cultures, languages, races, ages, and religions become fast friends within a few days, and their lives are often transformed in a wonderful way.

As a side note, there is a marvelous Whole Foods Supermarket about half-a-mile from the conference center, and many of us walk there to eat at lunchtime. The food is delicious, nutritious, and tasty, and it's cost is very reasonable. My lunch plate loaded with delicious organic food usually costs me about $10, which is less expensive than at most restaurants. In addition, we get the bonus of walking a mile (round-trip) so we get in our daily exercise and Vitamin D!
