This week I am very tired and very awake.
It was wonderful to catch up with everyone at Zero Waste Week and the Asia Yoga Conference. The lively discussions at Cyberport fed us with ideas, nurtured us with belief in positive change and connected us around ideas for solutions while over at the convention centre, classes and workshops and conversations grounded the energy and spread the love.
While I enjoyed being a guest at both events, leaving the heavy lifting to the organizers, I used quite a bit of energy getting around to see everyone. Anyone who has ever been involved in events recognizes the herculean task of pulling people together. I may not be the only one looking for a little break. Please join me in sending a big bouquet of love to our fabulous members Lisa Christensen and Nissa Marion and their Ecozine gang team as well as Alda Lo and Irene Tong and the Evolution Asia Yoga Conference tribe for a magical Hong Kong week.
I love getting out and making new discoveries and I am curious about this new healthy coffee I saw on Saturday, so Mikko at Berrytime offered us a 20% saving to satisfy our curiosity while we put our feet up.
Yes, there has already been lots happening this month and it may seem quiet in comparison as we catch up on some rest this week, but the calendar is filled with opportunities to continue the learning and sharing and making new connections.
We are noticing a new trend in healthy living and sustainable gatherings, like the 1,300 strong Green Sustainable Living Hong Kong Meetup who invited me to join as a guest speaker last Monday. Many people are looking for new ways to enjoy more time with conscious activities and our members are always happy to welcome new friends interested join the fun. Candlelight yoga on the rooftop patio followed by yummy food with conscious connections and plenty of hugs? There are worse things.
How do you rest?
