I just finished a week of an Awakening to Presence workshop in Pennsylvania.  The workshop was amazing as always.  I feel blessed to be able to witness the work of so many beautiful people and to be able to support them.  I love watching the other assistant teachers step into their leadership.  And it’s amazing to watch True Nature show up to show us what we are.  I said goodbye to most of this group in June because I wasn’t sure when I was leaving.  It was difficult to say goodbye again.  I felt their love and respect which reminds me of why I am doing this work and why I am leaving.  Part of why I am leaving is for me, my adventure, my learning and my experience.  But I do believe this adventure will deepen my presence.  It feels more like a widening than a deepening.  If I can go out and explore the world with a wide openness, what will I find?  If I can find it safe, rich, enjoyable and full, even in the midst of chaos, unfamiliarity, and fear, can I hold that knowledge in my body and my energy?  Can I hold that for myself and others?  I cognitively know this and I know this a bit from my experiences recently, but now I’m jumping off in the deep unknown to really test it so I may know it fully.  I hope that others will follow me in their own way to knowing.
