A record breaking instructor event in Denver on 11/11/11 no less! Our group was so large that we split into two simultaneous workshops, but we managed to get everyone together for a group photo! Kristin, Cindy, Kathy, and I really enjoyed spending the day with all of you! Special thanks to our ABMP crew, Erin, Abram and Tracy for taking time to join us as well!
What a great experience! We wish you and your programs all the best!
lol love the pic below Kristin! Great meeting you and Katie, had a blast and learned a lot!
I wanted to share with you a huge "ah-ha" moment I had yesterday. This idea touched my heart deeply and I am curious to see if anyone else has implemented it.
Yesterday we had a Holistic Nurse come in to speak on how healing happens and self care. It was beyond what I expected and was very moving. One of the points she touched on is one we as instructors teach our students; grounding before session. But she took this a step further and talked about how the massage room was "sacred ground". Well this did make sense to me, but what I heard in my heart right after she said this was "treat your classroom as sacred". Wow! That idea had never crossed my mind! I can get so wrapped up in everything I need to do, teach, & communicate that I had never bothered to even consider that. So now I am making it a personal goal, to set my intention for each class before I enter the "sacred learning space".
