so yesterday was pretty chill.
there was optional yoga at 8 am (which i obviously didn't attend).
(i slept until 10)
then lunch at 12:30 followed by all 18 of us working on group agreements. it was a long, drawn out process involving facilitators. for a while it seemed like every word we tried to have as an agreement like "open and direct communication" had to be clarified. BUT we had consensus on about half of our agreements and will finish the process today. Most of the group got together independently after dinner for a dance party, which was pretty amazing. We learned how to salsa the other day, so we were all busting pretty sweet moves. it was a lot of fun. i have pictures up now at www.webshots.com/user/findascot
we also got to meet 3 out of our 4 professors. they all introduced themselves and gave us some background information about who they ar and how they ended up here. they all seemed pretty down to earth. one of them is raising a family at findhorn and has 2 kids. she lives in a 'straw bale' house and invited us all over. i went for a long walk today down the beach to findhorn village. there wasn't much there! it consisted of 2 pubs, a small general store, and one relatively expensive cafe. this might turn out to be a LOOOONG three months! i had my first (and only) scottish beer last night; belhaven best. and it was good. since today is saturday we had the whole day free and i spent most of it watching a movie on the couch with 2 friends and eventually we all fell asleep until dinner time. not much has changed! anyway, i have some reading to get done before classes start on monday so i am going to do some of that! i love you all!
