Ashleigh Freckleton

When you would be available, theoretically, to meet him.

And this was in copious amounts of paperwork that we had to do, and I can barely recall it because there was so much of it.

And I remember the men's ashram didn't have any of it.

We had pages and pages of rules we had to read, forms we had to sign.

vows on the Bible of secrecy.

And I don't think the men's ashram had any of that.

I was like, this feels weird and icky, but I just kept squashing it.

No one knows where he is.

I suspected that he was somewhere in Eastern Europe.

I actually didn't suspect that he was in France.

That's where he was at the time.

Oh, right.

But yeah, so I remember I put down dates as far in advance as I possibly could.

I got them as close to that 12 month mark as I possibly could and thought,

hopefully it'll all just get forgotten and I'll never have to revisit this again because I just don't want to go.

Then when I was leaving, so the end of the camp, I already had a flight booked back to Australia and they said, oh, we're sending a car to him.

There's a spot.

Do you want to go?

And I said, no, I've got a flight I have to catch.

And I was so relieved that I had this excuse of like, I can't go.
