Introductions

So, I just finished seminar week at Arcosanti. It was pretty intense. A lot of early mornings an some very late nights. I spent time trekking through the grasslands, learning about the flora and the land's rich history. I learned about the history of Paolo Soleri and the beginnings of Arcosanti. I learned how to make silt casts and how the famous Cosanti bells are made. It's been pretty eventful.

Tomorrow I start my workstudy, which means I get my training in the cafe at 5:45 am tomorrow morning. It's a bit earlier than I'm used to, but I think I can handle it. I'm sort of excited to find out what I'll be doing. I felt pretty silly not having an answer when someone would ask what I'd be doing at Arcosanti.

Arcosanti

Well, I spent a bit more time in Venice than I had intended. Quite alright though, Marc had been working everyday that I had been there until this past week, so it was good to see him when he wasn't rushing off to, or just getting home from work.

Because Marc was working most of the time, I spent a lot of time with Chad just hanging out on the beach, P90Xing, longboarding the boardwalk, or meditating as my gaze drifted off over the ever distant horizon.

From Venice, I caught a red-eye Greyhound at two in the morning. Now, I'm in the high desert with a bunch of hippies. It's basically all I could ever ask for. I look forward to starting the workshop.
