I had such a wonderful time at Kirpal. It was exactly what I needed after the holidays.
Peter, my host, was enlightening, kind, and ever-helpful. I arrived a couple hours behind schedule from the mainland. My host not only helped me with my bag, but I was also offered water (with a lime cut from a nearby tree) which was so refreshing after the long trip. After taking a moment to relax and get my bearings, I was offered a tour of the grounds so that I could orient myself in the morning. I was so appreciative of the warm welcome to make me feel at home.
The next day, I took a yoga class, was invited to sit for meditation at the beautiful temple, and I met other guests staying in cabins nearby who were great company. I was traveling alone, but never felt alone for a minute. One guest even offered to help drive me to Hilo when my cab didn't show up to take me to the airport...what a relief! I'll be back Kirpal, you can count on it.
