It was a wonderful one-day event in Manhattan, June 1st. It had the perfect title: “Nothing To Lose But Your Head”. Indeed, this is what happened. How quickly we all slipped into meditation and celebration; hearts opened as we sang and danced; connections with ourselves and others flowed effortlessly.
Although this clip features Morning Satsang and Heart Dance, powerful sessions were also shared by Deva Sofia (Breath and Movement) and Teerth (Drumming Circle). Sofia had played in Oshofest Dallas the week before and brought some of that high energy with her.
It was great to see some of the older NYC network in attendance. There were new faces, too, some traveling as far away as Virginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Upstate New York — everyone adding their unique spice to what was truly a transforming feast.
Many thanks to Niseema for coordinating. And a big thank you to the musicians (Milarepa, Sofia, Teerth). Ripples from the new Heart Dance song were felt long after last goodbyes and hugs were shared.
We open our arms
To welcome the sun
Hand in hand
Our journey’s begun
Lift our song
Up to the sky
Heart to heart
Ready to fly
“Meditation’s ultimate conclusion is: live the moment to its totality, intensively, joyously … Live moment to moment, trusting the whole existence as the birds are trusting it, as the trees are trusting it. Don’t separate yourself from existence. Become part of it and existence will take care of you.” Osho, paraphrased from “The New Dawn”
