As coordinator I had a very different experience than I’ve had as a conference participant. It was a very challenging, growth producing, sometimes joyful and sometimes painful experience! In many ways it was a process of giving birth to something new, and giving birth can be painful. I gently remind myself that the pain comes from holding on, not from letting go…so keep letting go!
Looking back I recall special memories…heart connections with so many teachers for months before we met…Seijaku, the perfect prelude to a Conference…greeting old and new friends with warm hugs…feeling the strength of so many years of cumulative Chi in our group practice…enjoying the Yin-Yang sounds of harp and keyboards, violin and gypsy dancing…being in the Presence with Justin and Steve…gracefully concluding with silent T’ai Chi practice Sunday afternoon. What a wonderful experience!
I send a heartfelt THANK YOU to each person who contributed to the success of Conference…to Justin and Steve…to every teacher who volunteered their time, energy and talent…and to every person who attended…you are special, loved and appreciated! Thank you for the opportunity to be of service.
