Status: offline 		OK beautiful people.  The uni didn't hire me, so I am thinking of going to a retreat center for a month or two before moving on with my life.  Anyone know of a good one?  Omega in New York is closed for the winter.... I don't wanna go someplace cold or expensive.  I would prefer somewhere that I could get free room and board and volunteer to work for them.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
sunshine

Status: offline 		Yeah, nice.  Look I am serious here.  I spent a year in Asia that nearly destroyed me.  I need some yoga, movement, meditation, walks in nature, that kind of thing.  If you don't want to take this seriously, feel free to move along.  Your jokes are not welcome. 

Dang... I thought I put this in off topics.  shoot.  mah bad.  anyway.  It is still serious.

A kibbutz in Israel is all I can think of. You may have to pick fruit of trees or work in the kitchen or whatever.

Oh!  How about Cj's place?  He gives good massages, I hear!
