(have been in the place for just over 2 weeks now.) I think it was a huge success; am still reeling from the beauty and divine grace that was flowing the entire weekend.

I'm herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre -- have been laying low from tribe.net 'cause no one seems to post that much here.... have been missing the days of lively discussions.... but my time's all been going into the new temple we're creating; I have spent the last month, every day, literally, working from waking to sleeping to get the new spiritual center in the Santa Cruz mountains together -- we moved into a massive place in Bonny Doon, near Santa Cruz two weeks ago. photos here -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/29051210@N05/collections/72157608802015696/ and I do enjoy Facebook, actually, but not for the discussion areas, their format is ridiculous. mostly I'm in it for old college buddies and the Scrabble application. online Scrabble is the bomb. anyway, am STILL in the middle of our retreat -- gyah, leading it in the new place, 20 people in residence, sleeping in the different temple rooms. http://www.karmatalk.com/santacruz_events.htm#Dattatreya:%20Inside%20The%20Greatness%20Of%20The%20G.O.D. should probably get back to all the retreat folks........... most of whom are currently sleeping. talk to you all SOON! big hugs, Alx Sun, 23 Nov 2008 08:38:47 GMT http://goddessence.tribe.net/thread/e6f1bc40-4430-4175-8877-0d9a40c1c568#2d9f678e-642c-4cda-ab15-3d120a9c7b57 Alx 2008-11-23T08:38:47Z http://goddessence.tribe.net/thread/e6f1bc40-4430-4175-8877-0d9a40c1c568#9a3090a3-4231-4ac8-afbb-f72427517b26 regardless of facebook, no facebook...........

Upgrades to the hardware and the software are coming. Its not going to be as slick as Facebook anytime soon, but we have something special here. The Tribe community is unique, and well worth preserving and growing.
