If you are in Saint Barth until August 9, there is a wonderful summer yoga and wellness camp run by Diana Bourel...

There is a manual called the Plan Territorial de Sécurité that outlines the different factors that could lead to a collective catastrophe. Some of them are weather related, like hurricanes, floods or storms, some of them geologically-tagged, like tsunamis and earthquakes, fires, power outages, water or food shortages…all of which got me to thinking about how fragile this perfect slice of paradise is. And how different it can look, has looked, could look, when catastrophe strikes.
