"Seeds of love" Testemonial Let me sketch out a picture - blue skies, puffy white clouds above. Sunny, warm - not too warm, California spring day...We (Lishai and I) are on the 3rd terrace of Maya Karasso's "living library" Backyard paradise! We are surrounded by fruit trees (fig, kumquat, apricot, pear, etc) and wildflowers - a paradise in the middle of Mount Washington! Maya is conducting the workshop with her 6 1/2 year old, Shaya, and there is one other "couple." She begins with us sitting on the grass, facing the trees and flowers and has us breathing and listening and focusing on whatever we choose (flower, tree, etc). Lovely music is playing on the ipod/speaker and we connect to The Mother (Earth, that is). A little history -Maya is an amazing dancer and performer and gardener and sister! I had the pleasure of attending her adult "Belly Secrets" bellydancing classes and Lishai loved her "Fairy Class" series! So we were both looking forward to this new project of hers! After a centering and grounding meditation, she had us do movement exercises together. She gently guided us through basic bellydancing movements and next thing you know we were dancing! All in all, it was a magical, inspirational afternoon for the two of us. It is amazing to look into your daughter's eyes and really connect in such a magical environment without the "noise" and distractions of life as we know it! ~Yaelle Shapir, Healer |
