#91 ashram

ashram- a religious retreat or community where a Hindu holy man lives; a house that provides accommodation for destitute people

- from Sanskrit- asrama- religious exertion

For some, the ashram is a working vacation, with its emphasis on service rather than study.

Ashram is testing us in ways we never expected because we really are spoiled brat little princesses.
