Nonsense, anyone who knows anything about Naropa knows that the initial carefree, iconoclastic spirit of freedom�elaborated by great minds like Trungpa and Ginsberg, et all have been squashed into a sort of SCI package called Shamballah Training with levels and cultish titles and degrees. Maybe they still have good classes I don't know but the spirit has left the building or so I hear. Though I hear the town is very cool, just like FF.
So if you could do it over, where would you go: MIU/MUM or Naropa?
I once wanted to go to MIU so bad--now you couldn't pay me to go there. Back then you couldn't have paid me to go to Naropa--but now that I'm older and wiser <bfg> I'd love to go to Naropa. Their program in Sikkim: Wicked cool.
