My last days at SMC were magic.

The goodbye party was epic.

The solitary retreat was also very good. I was snowed in 2 of the 3 days.

It was bitter sweet seeing the Stupa, the Kami Shrine, and the view from Marpa point one last time.

Shambhala day fell on the last full day I spent at SMC. It was pretty auspicious. This is a picture of our morning lhasang that day.

My friends Alexis and Dan joined me for a celebratory departure lunch and drive to the airport.

I am so thankful for my last 2 years spent at SMC. Its been quite a journey.
