“Coming up for AiR and there is something in the air at Joya_AiR. A warm and giving place, albeit with lots of snow this time.

In this secluded little world one can create a new tribe in two weeks. 

Full of plans I arrived, convinced I would leave Joya: AiR with a finished book. As with all plans, reality turned out to have a very different colour and taste.

The book is nowhere near its end, but lots of shiny ideas filled my head, soulmates found and different works being made. 

I ended up crocheting breasts, drawing and painting colours and landscapes, watching and doing little funny dances.

It was absolutely brilliant and amazing thanks to all the wonderful people. 

I will miss this place of wonders, connection, best food ever and nourishing seclusion”.
