BIG Lodge

So the Big lodge works like this.

It is not the communal kitchen as we had thought. This is Casa Maya and is further up the hill. The big lodge is more a chill out zone. You can eat here but it is expected that if you do, you should bring enough for all and offer it around.

Most days and especially nights, you will find the big lodge full of people. Mostly stoned. Joints, chillums, pipes and bongs get passed around continuously with the same thought as food. Share with all and accept from all - if you want that is.

It can be a nice place to relax at night, a good place to relax if stoned and at night a good place to listen to drums, guitar, singing and flute. These guys are good! But conversation is better to be had elsewhere as stoned people just do not have it going on in that department.

And since our return from Morroco a huge teepee has been put up around the circle so it is now all enclosed. Nice (o:

And if you sleep the night in the lodge, often you will awake with a tea or coffee sitting in front of you and a breakfast of fruit on offer. Generosity is the key to this place.
