Our Guest Leaders
My Heart Turns Inward and Kisses the Earth
What do do when there’s so much happening on every level of being: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, familially, culturally, nationally, internationally, globally … and in such an extreme spectrum of Light and Dark, Good and Bad? How do we not only get on with our lives but also feel that we can be of some help, some service, essentially of some use, in this world? Inquiry, turning inward, asking, praying, dancing. The resultant natural turning outwards. Remembering, Connection, ONEness. Kiss and be Kissed.
