This week Reid and Glenn overcame the obstacle of a power outage and continued leading seminar until the power came back on finished preparing the rest of the meal. This was a blessing in disguise because it gave us an excuse to lounge in the sun and enjoy the salad and bread as if it were all we had before enjoying the black tea and root veggie hash. Reid led us through a guided stretch where we embodied the recycled growth of a plant – beginning with tightening the muscles in a crouched position with arms wrapped around the knees, then extending upward and releasing the tension and stretching the arms. After releasing the extended arms from above the shoulders we created a circle in front of us to bear the fruit that we can share with others to let go, and return to a crouched position to start the cycle over again.
