awakening the bay

i attended an event called 'adaptogen' while in the bay area. there i participated in a song circle and received reiki and massage. there was beautiful, healing music the whole evening, led by gabe. besides being a gifted musician, he was quite an enveloping hugger. i also got the honor of sitting in for the woman serving tea while she got some healing.

one of the women i served tea to was elicia, a woman who works with this project called Awakening the Bay, which has now expanded to become awakening 360. i'm not sure i understand the way they are affiliated or what kind of organization or whatever this can be considered. you may have to check it out yourself. the important thing for me is the emphasis on 'AWAKENING!' and that i had a wonderful interaction, including a sweet hug, with this kind-spirited woman.
another 'AWAKENING!' -related organization i was informed about while in the bay is generation waking up. how i heard about this one is when i stopped by this house called 'the playground', which i had heard about at the party i attended nearby a couple nights before, and the guy who answered the door ended up sharing this impirational video with me. or some version of it. this was after we had discovered that we know the same wonderful person, kayla, who is now interning at Green String, and had walked around the garden together, which is what i came to this house seeking to do.
it was a nice garden with many redwood trees watching over it. i picked some resplendent italian parsley with gratitude.

i hope you too get a good feeling from knowing these projects are afoot!
