Recording. Fantastic. Great. Hi. Hi. Hello again. And welcome to Happy Hour. Wonderful to be with you. Soam.

Ah. So I'm back after three months, roughly, maybe a bit more.

And I trust and hope that you've had wonderful teachers who've been supporting you on Mondays and Wednesdays while I've been gone,

a group of fantastic teachers.

So I come back with lots of different ideas tonight, like, oh, what do I want to teach?

There's so many things I want to share.

So I have to calm myself with mindfulness awareness. Like, oh, I want to teach. There's so many things I want to share. So I have to call myself with mindfulness awareness.

I was like, oh, what to teach. So, so, oh, Wayne. I see Wayne too. Wayne was on the retreat, actually.

Well, resident and volunteered I actually, so great. So, okay. So what I like to do, instead of allowing my head to choose a topic of all the various

topics I like to share and guide tonight, what I like to do is to start sitting together.

And if you allow me to find my way with what really wants to be shared, what's bubbling up,

what's most authentic for me to share in that way to guide and lead you in the spaces that

my heart wants to share.

So it's an authentic practice, and I'm speaking and leading from the space of what's a lie for me. So it's an authentic practice and I'm speaking and leading

from the space of what's alive

for me. So with

that, without further ado, let's

jump in together. Let's jump in and

arrive.

Arrive in
