After my burnout, I quit my job at Microsoft. Rented my house. Paid $2000 for a bright orange vw bus, and drove south. I ended up at Esalen for almost 6 months in their work/study program http://www.esalen.org/workshops/workstudy.html http://www.esalen.org/workshops/workstudy.html I worked in an organic garden overlooking the pacific picking/planting food that we ate the same day for 32 hours a week. And had cheap access to incredible massage/yoga/healing programs, and the support of intelligent and conscious people who were also trying to find their center again. Best thing I ever did, and I highly recommend it. My advice: Give yourself time. I believe we are all fundamentally good and have the will and energy to work and express ourselves in the world. Sometimes, it's ok to rest and step back, and find our grounding again. Give yourself that permission.
