I am still there in spirit, I just internalized the ashram and now carry it with me everywhere without the need for the external building or community.
I left eventually because I felt that I had learned everything I could in the ten years there. I also felt the need to grow in other fields, more worldly I guess, but it was neccessary for my further maturing and balance. Now I have a foot in both worlds and a wiser outlook. I may move back in when I retire in a few years to prepare for the end of life.
