Friday, January 12. Day one of the training begins. Especially from talking with people on the hike the day before, I assumed that most people had had a lot the Three Pinciples experience, and I had planned accordingly. But going around the room with introductions in our opening circle, I discovered this was not the case at all. Most people were new or considered themselves beginners, with a couple of exceptions. I had to make some quick on the spot adjustments to my plans. We are supposed to be delving deeply into consciousness, but instead we had to cover the basics of the 3P’s first, plus I wanted them to have an experience of deep listening. But it seemed the first day of training went over very well, and I got a lot of positive feedback. People were happy just to relax and be in presence together. That night we all went out to dinner, sitting outside at one of their open-air restaurants on the beach, and I left the group to take a nap, as we were supposed to meet again later at the Calema Pub, where the disappearing mystery woman whom I had met on the plane, was allegedly playing at 8:00. I fell totally asleep and woke up at 8:10, so in a groggy daze I zoomed over to meet the rest of the group, who were sitting outside at a long table. I almost ran right by them, but I heard them yell my name. The music had not started yet. We checked and they said she would now be starting at 10:00 PM instead. Okay, we had some drinks, and I had a wonderful conversation with Miriam from our group. When 10:00 rolled around, the woman performer still had not shown, so I went into the pub and asked again. They said she had a migraine and would try to call her again. I decided she really still didn’t exist, so I left the group and went back home to sleep. As I was getting ready for bed, I got a call from Damian saying that she had come in at 10:30 and had started to sing, if I wanted to come back over. I found out the next day that most people really liked her; that she was very different, kind of ad-libbing in at least three different languages. But by this time I felt like just going to sleep. My goodness, she exists after all (not for me yet, though.)
