Next week will see a new experience for me. I'll go in Burgundy for a 6 days fast. (Yes I know, Burgundy is a strange place to fast!). I'm a bit nervous about it, sort of stage fright, I'd say. It's the fast that makes me nervous, I'm used to it. In the past years I've fasted regularly, for even longer periods than 6 days. But this will be my first collective fast and also the first one that I co-organize, and that impresses me a bit to assist and guide other persons in their experience.

I'm also looking forward to it. This is going to be a very interesting week. We will be in Vezelay, a beautiful and highly spiritual place. We have planned many activities, like relaxation and yoga sessions, painting, writing and acting workshops, thematic meetings in the evening, and I'll be responsible for the meditation walks, evening meditations and yoga nidra sessions. That will be my first experience of guiding people on the path of meditation.

I'm a bit nervous about it, but I know also that I've gained enough confidence to be able to do it. Time to jump into the water.
