Thanks for all the input, folks! Now I'm REALLY excited to be going, after hearing what everyone had to say!
To those who mentioned yoga, I'm also currently trying to revive my yoga practice, which has been more or less dormant for a couple of years. I did find it helpful in both the physical and emotional/spiritual sense, and definitely have found things bubbling up, unlooked for, while practicing in the past. I'm eager to see what it means to me now from my new and changing viewpoint.
I'll certainly check back in and let you know how things went, what it was like and so on. Again, I really appreciate all of you taking the time to share what you know and have experienced. Thanks!
