Wow, your announcement came as a surprise, forest monk. While you are well practiced at going with the flow I'm imagining that your decision was also heart felt and thoughtful. I think you are brave and already wise, so the shift in location and energetics, while may be more of a challenge in some ways, the great monk in the city will flourish. As a transplanted Chicago girl myself, with family entrenched there, the possibility of meeting in person might just happen. I hope so. Blessings on this new chapter.
Seriously friend. I think about how much harder the journey is with the noise and density. Maintaining the peace within. Cheers to you and your brave journey and sending you love from the forest. I also think of the tip: if you think you are enlightened, go hang out with your family. but i think the same goes for the city.
A brave and mindful decision. I wish you all the best with it. I like to go spend a few days in the city now rather than live there. But I find I can keep my inner stillness now wherever I am. Most of the time. Good luck!
I loved the frenetic energy of the city (NYC) in my 20s. I thrived on it! It's where I started practicing yoga. But I found that after 10 years, the energy I originally thrived on started to drain me. I love my peaceful existence now, far away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to get there easily if I need something. I wish you luck in your new city, may it bring you what you seek.

I am looking forward to that day as well. In the meantime, I’d love your advice on some holistic courses/certifications I’m contemplating.
Any chance you would be open to a phone call next week? If so, please DM your availability so that we can get something on the calendar.
I'd love to. Will DM you.
