Journey to Spain 2 – The First Days: Rupià
Although the journey was long, it was a very precious time. Mathilda, a group member from Berne, accompanied me. She had the audiobook ‘Autobiography of a Yogi‘, and while driving to the south, our minds dwelled in the stories of the book. And often, associations to our lives brought up conversation excursions. I had prepared the different stages of the journey by contacting Spanish group members on the way. I had done a similar journey in August 2012, and we came now again to part of the places or the people.
The first stop was at the home of Mar, a dentist we had visited in 2012 in Girona. Now, she was living with her husband since a few years in Rupià, a little village in the province of Girona, in a beautiful old renovated house.
At the entry, there was a beautifully carved brass plate (you see handing at the wall in the picture above), like cosmic inter-relationships
In the meditation room, I met again the Krishna statue we had seen 12 years ago:
We had evening and morning meditations together and some intense talks. Then we had to bring the luggage back for the next stage of the journey.
