It is a beautiful place, as is all of NM. I love Santa Fe. But I can't live in a woke culture. Just one story to show how pervasive it is:
I went to a meditation retreat at Upaya, a world renown Zen Buddhist temple led by Roshi Joan Halifax, famous for her work with cancer patients and the dying. This is a woman who hangs with the Dali Lama. Did she open the retreat with an invitation to peace? To humanity? No, she opened the retreat with Trump jokes. Isn't this the antithesis of Buddhist spirituality?
Many more woke stories to tell. It's a shame. Santa Fe and northern NM really are special, spectacularly beautiful, with a deep and rich history on many levels. I love SF; I miss it; but I'm very grateful to be residing in relative sanity.
Santa Fe went bad? It's been decades since I went there, but it was such a beautiful area.
