BETH: DAY 12

Hi everyone!  Greetings from Plum Village.  This is a wonderful peaceful place and Arch Academy is enjoying all it has to offer.  The students seem to enjoy the freedom of the silence, reflection and work.  It is inspiring to watch them as they navigate Plum Village.  

Matt is making friends with everyone and is very popular with the monks.  He has done a great job planning this trip and we are grateful to him.

CJ is maturing and is very reflective.  He is engaged and relaxed.  He is also our business manager keeping track of our expenses.

Wesley is in heaven. He loves the nature and is so joyful.  The monks like his spirit!

Chip is having a great time.  He is helping the other students and is very relaxed.  His smile and sense of humor brings happiness to all of us.

Noah is patient and likes the walking meditation.  He has shown some emerging leadership qualities.

Diana was excited to meet a couple from Romania.  They gave her a political and economic overview of Romania. They told her that the Romanian gypsy culture is beautiful full of artists and poets.

That's it for know!  Thank you to Lin and Jamie for holding down the fort.  

Peace,

Beth
