Hi Reader,

It's good to be back! I just returned from 3 weeks in Goa (India) to connect with the land of yoga and deepen my personal practice.

Do you know it was the first time I ever went to a yoga retreat?
​Of course I was like a kid at a candy shop 😇

I met the most wonderful teachers, made new friends, had an 'ashram'-like experience, immersed myself in the local culture...
and filled my heart to the brim.

Most of us look at the turn of the year as a time to look ahead.

Instead I tried to empty out any expectations and stay present.

Having this blank slate to welcome in the inspiration and subtle nudges is so helpful - and something you can do anytime.

So now that I'm "back", I feel ready to set (late) intentions for 2024.. and the word that keeps popping up for me is COMMUNITY.

First because I was blown away by the generosity, kindness and hospitality I experienced on my travels.

But also because I feel so much appreciation and gratitude for the countless connections I've built around the world, in person and online, with students, teachers and fellow seekers - like you!

We were never meant to do this journey alone, and it's only through connections with others that we come to understand ourselves.

So with this in mind, I'm excited to create more opportunities for us to gather and grow together as a community.

Check out the upcoming in-person events (in Sydney and EU) below and feel free to share any ideas/suggestions with me :)

With love,

Lou

EUROPEAN SUMMER 2024

For my friends in the EU, I'm planning to come in May-July to visit family & friends and would love to take this opportunity to teach.

I'm thinking of organising classes, workshops or a retreat - most likely in Brussels and Porquerolles island (south of France).

If you'd be interested, let me know so I can keep you informed!

And if you know any space or people you think I should connect with in Europe, I would absolutely love an introduction. 🙏
