My first hike on the recent outing started outside of Pinedale WY, the gateway to the grand Tetons. Was a bit nervous starting at hike at 7pm in bear country with bear spray and the fear accelerated the hiking pace abit! When I say the trail name of ‘Sacred Rim’, that helps egg me on to this late summer evening hike. Naturally I was the only fool on this trail and the vista point was well worth the hustle. #pinedalewyoming #hike #summervibes
Just spent 5 days in a jaw-droppingly gorgeous spot! 🌅 With a lake, river, and views that could make a postcard jealous, it was pure summer bliss. Who knew peace could be so picturesque? While everyone else is busy crowding the Grand Tetons, I’m over here reveling in my own little secret paradise! 🌲✨ This part of the Wind Range in Wyoming is bursting with adventure—hello, scenic trails and crystal-clear waters! Adventure`s ringing my doorbell, and I`m ready to grab my gear and dive in! 🌄🚣♂️

The anti influencer reflects on the nature of unborn awareness.
My first proper solo vajrayana retreat on the weekend and despite being unable to set stronger mental boundaries, it was still rewarding experience. While a daily practice is importance my connection with vajrasattva was not as strong and the retreat inspired my resolve to strengthen this critical relationship. Seriously I don’t think my vajrayana training really began until Khenpo La entered my life. It would seem one needs to really experience the teaching through a genuine teacher to fully grasp the power of the teaching.
when we are fully immersed in pure awareness, even the construct of time is dissolved.
looking back at my time here, it was only one night and i suspect I will be back. it`s the lakes that make #Alstrom Point in Utah a fantastic overlanding trip.

Some mornings you don`t need coffee to feel the rush. The toys help fabricate the aliveness of your projection. #dji
