It was a great honor to spend my time (nearly a month) with Sini helping her at Loitsukallio. She has a beautiful vision for the future and I am happy to have played even a small part in its realization. I had many great discussions with Sini and Eetu about philosophy, spirituality, and nature and through this course feel I have made lifelong friends. I have no doubt I will visit them again. They have helped me break out of my shell in certain regards, as they introduced me to interesting things I have never tried before: traditional Finnish sauna, morning Yoga, Sydänpiiri, and even simple things like the zen of eating black watermelon seeds instead of spitting them out. I feel my time there has helped me grow and has changed me as a person for the better and will remember this month for a lifetime. Already, tales of the kind people of Livonsaari have reach the ears of my friends in the United States. Sini and Eetu, my home will always be open to you.
