Once again, I arrived at a training ready to learn and realised that I already knew so much of it. My inner impostor still needs time to accept that.
The people mattered most.
Awaken as Love has been close to my heart since last year. Its mix of Tantra, shamanism and Spiral Dynamics comes very close to the way I understand Tantra myself.
The school plans a facilitator training. Completing it would allow me to teach at its festivals and retreats. Suddenly, my direction for the next two years felt clear: develop my international work, lead classes and bring Togetherness to life.
I love the moment when my intuitive feminine energy meets the part of me that says, “I know where I am going, and I am moving.”
One evening, under the full moon, we gathered around a large fire. Shamans played drums, guitars, percussion and handpan. We sang mantras together and offered that energy for the benefit of all beings.
It felt cosmic. It felt like the world I want to live in, and already do. It reminded me how much I love my life.
I left with another certificate, and with something more important: the full-body feeling that I had found my school, my community and my tribe.
My story with Awaken as Love is only beginning.
