What a beautiful final class! Thank you to all who came and participated and supported. What a blessing and a joy to know so many incredible spirits. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we sang, we ate! What a life! I will miss all of you and this group experience very much, but as you know. part of my heart is with all of you always - as yours are with me. Take all of the love, support, belief, nurturing, trust, confidence, joy, laughter, comfort of the space we created together with you everywhere you go, and you will have all you desire. Missing you already and loving you always! Kia

Well, we certainly know how to have a good time! I laughed so hard last night, I was crying! My stomach is getting flatter by the class! What a delight! We spent a lot of time checking in with where we all are in our lives and all of the transitions that are going on - allowing some patience for movement to manifest change and some compassion for ourselves amidst the seeming chaos. Warm-ups and hand massages were healing and cleansing - the virtue of our intentions healing and opening ourselves to what our spirit needs on conscious and unconscioius levels. Improvisations consisted of extremely effective Infomercials selling round tires, the smooth legs created by Nair hair removal, and the health and happy benefits of jumping rope! We then did a little "Thank God You're Here" - being graced with the presence of a spelunker rescuer, a priest performing an exorcism, a polygamist wedding planner, an SAT test giver, a police officer helping school-children in need, and a Madame of the first degree! We then went on the road and were joined by some hitchikers - a praying monk, a nail-biter, a woo-woo train armer, a shoulder roller, a nose-picker and, of course, a crotch-grabber! Of course, the kids in the back seat were always fun, fascinating and difficult in the best way. Some scene work was put up - and we worked on using our imagination to make choices that raise the stakes and propel the story forward. A girl in a coffee shop was dumbed-down, two brothers fought over a tv and a girl (although it seemed they were more excited about the tv!), and a lawyer patiently waiting to hear a clients story. What incredible deep work everyone did - the willingness and openness with which they share themselves with the group and the world is such a gift. What a blessing to be a part of this journey!
