Recalling the vast ocean of the week...Some moments in time.
Hmm...Well, sl-ooooow-ing down, connecting to earth, reaching for the sky, opening the heart in the lush tropical jungle...beautiful faces shedding. Shedding fears, presumptions, expectations, tensions, anxieties, insecurities, more and more.
The workshop is taking me to a deep place. We begin early each morning with movement. On alternating days Ellen, the group leader guides us in Chigong exercises. We slap ourselves silly awakening our sleeping meridians, organs and muscles, stimulating our skin.
She segues into feeling energy, much like in Tai Chi practice. We begin with our hands feeling energy. Then we are including our feet, shifting our weight from side to side. Before we know it, she has slyly led us into a personal dance.
As a group, we are dancing without effort in a beautiful open air pavillion made of dark wood called the Wantilan. We are moving together, communing, a combined energy that is one.
