We were back in Troncones MX for the fifth (sixth?) year, the bilingual retreat with over 60 participants including 40 or so newer Dance leaders who got a chance to practice, learn and present a Dance in the larger circle, followed by a deepening retreat gracefully and skillfully led by Sky, Shivadam and Jen. The ocean and its breezes, the warm weather, the beautiful and relaxed setting, delicious food, and loving Beloveds make this a paradise. Thanks to everyone who participated and provided photos.
Canelo, the local dog, who loved the Dances and the Dancers, and came to hang out with us almost every day.
