LOUTRO (my spiritual home)

I returned to my spiritual home in Loutro, on the island of Crete, on Saturday, March 7, 2022. I have dreamt of this day since being diagnosed with cancer more than three years ago. There was a time when it seemed impossibly out of reach. Climbing to the castle ruins, where my husband Rob and I taught yoga classes 30 years ago, was possibly the most challenging but rewarding thing I’ve done. Rob’s ashes were spread in the ruins in 1996. Tim did an incredible job of documenting the event in this series of photos.
