I teach because i love it, and i that is what i want others to feel too. You will never continue to do something just because you should, you will do things for la little while for duty or out of habit but you will never continue it unless you love it. So i try make it as much fun as i can.

So I offer a space to drop away from the judgements and grasping mind, and just play like a kid again, fully embodying the moment, with playfulness and pure joy.

What does ‘spirituality’ mean now?
I’ve been thinking about what does ‘spirituality’ mean now? This is relevant to today’s news as we hear about more kids running away to defend an idea (Islam in this case, but it could just as easily be something else). As I have another teacher training that I am running and the next weekend is…
