Month in Golden Bay

At our first Wwoof in Golden Bay we built a waterfall and pools in the host's 'Goddess Garden.' This one acre plot of land was located just outside of the hip town of Takaka.


Our next stop became a long respite for us: lovely Shambala. Overlooking the water with access to the beach, we watched both the full moon and the sun rise (above). And am meditation, nightly yoga in our beautiful hall completed paradise for us. We spent our efforts and gave our love to mosaics on the Hall roof (below).


Tomo, our new friend at Shambala with his Clifford Sailboat. She held her own in fairly rough seas.


Seals came to low tide pools at Wharariki Beach, our favorite spot on Farewell Spit.




I saw these sand formations and thought of Trees of Life.

Again at Wharariki but with a light rain...still incredibly beautiful and special.
