Sophie and Hayden did hiking in the Fogaras Mountin and around Brasov in Transylvania. Once got back to Budapest, we went to a local restaurant that served traditional Hungarian food and I invited them to see one of the best thermal spas in Budapest that is Lukacs Furdo. There are a few more popular thermal spas and this one is my favourite. Another half a day programme was a trip to Szentendre, a nearby beautiful town by the river Danube. We travelled by the local train and returned by a boat. It was great to see them again and we had a good time <3
Shops with quite a few traditional / hand made goods in Szentendre
Spring and Summer in Hungary
A field visit was planned at Somogyvamos around mid-March had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions. I started communal living in a rented house located near the Krishna-valley in Somogyvamos.
The house at Somogyvamos is called Place Spotters' Base. Most of my time one or more housemates lived there with me. We shared gardening, cooking, cleaning the house, etc. I was away in the capital quite a few times as I started picking up a few more healing techniques such as Bowen Technique and Kinesiology, attended meetings, etc. Krishna Valley is like a little India in Hungary. I volunteered in the garden, the orchard, the mower, etc. I sorted a few things around the rented house and started farming in the garden, only what a household could eat. It felt good to start living in a new lifestyle.
Annual ecovillage gathering @ Magfalva, Hungary
Community life
Both Place Spotters and Place Creators held quite a few meetings in the meantime I participated or co-organised. In Dunavision, we organised the Budapest meeting and seminar. Listen to a hang drum plus guitar music from the Meditation Picnic held at Margitsziget I attended. There were lots more events / programmes I attended :) My time at Somogyvamos is coming to an end as I am giving up the house and a family is planned to move in with two kids.
I am looking forward to my trip to UK that will start with a Metamorphic Technique Workshop. I am hoping to see my old friends, join a Devon based community for a short time and serve a Vipassana course near Hereford. Hoping to see all of you in the UK :)
