Thoughts on Teacher Training

The gentle whispers, “Let go of the tension, allow the Tan Tien to move the arms, the back arm needs to come all the way back, remember circularity, pretend there is a gentle giant behind you lifting you as you come up, let go, let go, and let go some more…”

There was never a negative word. The love and positive energy was behind us (auditing teachers) and in front of us (Sandy McAlister). We felt free to be… vulnerable. As teacher candidates, we tore down our practice and then built it from scratch again and again.

We weren’t perfect, but we were okay and felt the support of each other and the teachers. Most of all, as corny as it sounds, we were loved into exploring and becoming and being. The gentleness of Sandy’s love and Dan Pienciak’s love moved us to tears and to joy.

I hopefully speak for the group when I say our gratitude for this week runs deep. How blessed we are!
