Weaving love in Kiev…

With their willingness to move through all the difficulties that showed along the way, with their openness and their integrity, participants of the 6-day 'Tantric Awareness' that just took place in Kiev, Ukraine created a lively and warming atmosphere that really counter balanced the briskly cold of these late April days.

Awareness certainly paved the way in this journey from the base chakras to the more subtle ones. Resting in the heart.

The different structures, the communication exercises and the active or sometimes the guided meditations helped weave love as well as a playful awareness.

And it is always a touching experience for me to witness this 'transformation' at work, to see light replacing darkness, to see self-love emerging in place of ignorance or hatred, to see understanding taking place.

My heart is filled with a big 'whoah!' – So simple and yet so deep – Gratefulness. It certainly heartens my passion for sharing this work.
Next is a 3-day Opening to self-awareness in Bucharest, Romania and strait after a 3-day 'Love in Awareness intensive' in Odessa, Ukraine.
Sounds promising!

Namaste to you all

Love is in the air…

Blossoming like the nature in this time of spring, love was certainly in the air during a whole week of 'Awareness Intensive' at Osho Leela in Devon, Uk.

The Osho Leela community members kick-started this self-inquiry week on the Monday night by tackling koans/questions such as 'Who is in?' - 'Who am I?' – 'What relaxation is?' or 'What sexuality is?'

As most of them had participated in a Humaniversity course the week-end just before, the energy was quite high and to merge into that energy was certainly a joy and for me. The community 'Awareness Intensive' ended by midday on the Thursday and the 'Love in Awareness intensive' open to all, started on the same evening.

All participants, whether newcomers to this type of work or 'old timers', gave their best to directly experience 'love' and the fragrance of innocence and trueness were certainly present during those 3 days. Combined with the love that was emerging, it made it a truly beautiful time.

Although slightly different in their fragrance, both these 'Awareness Intensives' gave me the opportunity to deepen my own process. In the second one, I experienced myself as one with the group; there was no real separation between me in the role of facilitating this process and these people in the role of participants. A unity had been created; a sense of 'oneness' and of humility was there for me along with gratefulness towards these participants. In a way, I felt I was a participant myself in the vaster process of growth that existence provides every moment.I did feel privileged to support these participants' inquiry process and seeing the blooming of all of them emerging after just 3 days, made me feel blessed by existence to be in this facilitator role. It also gives me the incentive to expand this work in the UK by offering more opportunities of this kind. Let's see how existence wants to flow!Last but not least, I do want to take the opportunity of this blog to salute everyone's willingness, courage and integrity to move through this intense and arduous process.
For those interested, I've just posted my account of the Darkness retreat I took part in a few months back; check 'a darkness adventure', on www.livingourtruenature.com

Coming next for me is a week near Bordeaux, France, to let my 'Zorba nose and palate' delight with the delicate flavors of St Emilion red wines; certainly a preparation for the 'Tantric Awareness' week that will take place in Kiev just after that.

Looking forward meeting you again soon somewhere…

Namaste to you all
