There are things worth fighting for, being right is not one of them.
One of the teachings I've been exposed to is that, no matter how 'right' I think I am, if the results of my life do not match up I have to consider the possibility that maybe I'm wrong. It's not actually about being right or wrong, it's about adaptability - doing things differently and being open to surprises. For me, this is a tough lesson.
I'm still working with containers and begin to soften towards them, seeing their value as vehicles of awareness. I'm reminded of this quote by Osho:
“...use the boat, use beautiful boats, use as many boats as possible, with this awareness: when the shore is reached the boat is abandoned with no clinging. While you are in the boat, enjoy it, be thankful to it.”
I'm loving the boat, celebrating the boat, honouring the boat and nurturing the boat.
I have more to say about this on Wednesday evening at Phakalane in Hout Bay. Join me there for a talk on Conscious Relationships. I explore ideas and examples of containers and boundaries to initiate alternative perspectives on relating.
Aside from various events Phakalane hosts, it is also a place where you can be supported in solo-retreat, whether for stillness or to work with something specific. Individual programs are tailored to your needs, drawing on the expertise offered by practitioners of Phakalane such as meditation, cleansing steams, yoga classes, healing massage and Tantric practice. Let me know if you'd like more information on this.
March was an wonderful month. The Tantra retreat in KwaZulu-Natal with Shakti was fully booked with a group of wonderful people who contributed to an amazing experience. And between Blissdance classes, a successful NeiTao Dance took place at Phakalane, presented with Zo Hoka Dashati.
I will facilitate more Blissdance in Kalk Bay from May for a few months while Shakti is teaching overseas. The next NeiTao Dance will be scheduled sometime around the winter solstice in June to dance the transition from autumn to winter.
Information about Tantric Touch and Sacred Spot sessions are now available on the website.
In the beauty of being,
Stephen
