The first retreat at Flying Dreams Studio on Salt Spring Island has come and gone. It was pretty small: Three people showed up on Friday, and four more on Saturday. That was a good size for figuring out the logistics of doing retreats on the island. Everybody had fun, and the studio certainly proved an incredible space for poi research.

I learned a lot. I was too quick to promise people I could pick them up and drop them off at the ferries. I really have to do something about my tendency to be overaccommodating. I also realize that I need to do more organizing for the next one. I wish poi people tended to have money, then I could charge twice as much and pay myself a bit more. That will come with time, I hope.

That said, the next retreat will be better organized from the get go. I've booked it for January 27th-29th, just before I leave to Australia! :)
