Seventeen people practiced together with Miranda at the Ulverstone Surf Club on Sunday for our booster session – such an amazing place to sit and watch the weather (like our thoughts and emotions and sensations) change moment to moment, especially as it did on a windy Sunday! We offered something a little different in this practice session by exploring individual mark marking with a pencil and paper – noticing our reactions to repetition and increasing playfulness, watching our different personality and preferences show up. Some of us found the repetition to be safe and soothing and others restrictive or something else and again different reactions were observed as exercises became more playful and individual. There was interesting discussion around how our body expresses itself and our uniqueness in all that we do and how insights are available in basic, simple tasks when we pay attention. We were really able to see in this session, how when we set aside time to practice, we can learn so much about ourselves. And it was fun!
