Nomad's Notes
Note that the video ID numbers get a bit mixed up after number 8 - the 9th video shows as 8-1 on the video itself and similar for the next 3 videos, then after that the numbers seem out of synch by a value of 4 for the rest of the videos. This happened because I initially skipped over editing some raw camera footage and then years later did edit and insert 4 new videos into the sequence. --- This event was the last "retreat" event that I organized, focusing more on the yearly Bodyfest event and also working toward getting things going in Canada to reduce my travel to California. Then, COVID came along and as of writing this, travel is still problematic between Canada and USA. I also have concerns about increasing wild fires and weird climate variations. Much is different now in 2020 politically... compared to 2006 when I started. My heart is heavy for my gentle friends in the Bay Area.
