Getting ready for REFRESH

It is nearly time to get up and start our big day, the community event we've been working on for one month or so. I am still in bed preparing my workshops. Fortunately, they deal with feeling good despite everything and finding pleasure and ease in any situation, so this actually helps to remind me to stay relaxed. Preparing for this event has taken up a lot of time and energy - the main challenge for me was dealing with my own difficulties in dealing with people, especially when I am tired, cranky, sad, sick,... Just last night we had a major issue to work through, at a time when all of us wanted to be in bed or deal with final preparations. Instead we were all pushed to the limits of our communication abilities. And we managed the situation quite well.

Why do I put all this on my Blog? Because I feel this is the biggest creative project I've ever worked on (despite this other one I've got going on, called "My Life"). It combines all my creative practices and then some I usually don't practice. It involves my whole self, my whole inner and outer artist, my dancer, performer, and mainly my improviser self.
