the healing ecstasy of sound comes to korea!

the first weekend in october, jennifer's "healing ecstasy of sound" workshop was held in seoul. it was sponsored by the daegu art therapy institute so most of the participants were therapists or partners of therapists! all i can say is, WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY GROUP OF PEOPLE! the weekend was filled with all kinds of heart opening, playful, deeply touching moments.
jen asked me to lead a yoga/movement/dance meditation session each day. what a blast to interact with korean people in this way! to take off my english teacher hat and put on the wild, ecstatic dancing yogini hat!

Jessa, that final picture of you and Jennifer is quite gorgeous. What a remarkable photo - so much peace, beauty, and solitude-in-togetherness reflected in it.

It looks like it was a great workshop!
