Today is another day of sharing on "How Dance Resolves Conflict in our communities. Dance is a potential asset for the peacebuilding field, creating opportunities for nonverbal, embodied learning and relationships to the ‘other’. As a symbolic language communicated through the body, dance is one tool to support peacebuilders and communities in conflict to develop the range of their communication and understanding. Though the potential of dance is encouraging, there is also a need for ongoing reflection regarding implementation, and possible misuse of the arts. “Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” – Rumi Join me at Musicals this Thursday 23rd Feb for a fun filled fellowship but yet a whole different learning experience as I Okurut cools down the Thursday evening with dance after taking them through how dance as an Art can resolve conflicts. Time:6:30pm. Location: Shell Club opp. UMA Main Gate.

I let go of my past I`ve all done things that I aren’t proud of, or I have made decisions that I either regret or would rather forget in life. I am no exception. My life is filled with lost opportunities, missed chances, stupid choices, and near misses. The one thing I lost sight of while I held on to the past is this: my past does NOT have to equal my future! I can change my life, reinvent myself and start afresh ANYTIME I WANT! My mental baggage could weigh me down and make the rest of my journey through life a real slog. But, I decided to LET IT GO! Now, I don`t look back on all those things that happened and regret them. They were simply choices I made and I did the best I could with the person that I was. So many of us get into the trap of equating our past with who we are. LET IT GO! You can`t change what happened! It`s done! The future, however, is unwritten. While I can`t rewrite my past, I can create a masterpiece with what`s ahead of me, no matter what age I am. It`s up to me! Thank you so much for reading! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 2022 to 2023 post of the year.

I can't quite express just how much all of your birthday wishes meant to me. I adored each and every one of them, and want you all to know how very much I appreciate each of you taking a little time out of your day to think of me. I am truly touched by the sheer number of messages,phone and video calls I received for my birthday. I genuinely enjoyed reading all of your lovely comments, they each touched my heart and almost moved me tears! #yoga #yogateacher #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #swingdancer #lindyhopper #Ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda #traveldancer #dancer #yogi #happinessisachoice #happiness #peaceandlove #peaceofmind #meditation #purelandbuddhism #buddhism #yogaflowwithokurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGHra7rIe9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Learn To Laugh About Yourself. Smile when things go bad, laugh when the going gets tough and enjoy your time. Yes, it may hurt, but if you can learn to laugh in the face of pain and sadness then you will grow a skill more important than any other. #yoga #instructorokurutgeorge #acroyoga #buddhism #purelandbuddhism #nairobi #Cloudnine #happiness #happinessisachoice #peaceandlove #peaceofmind #traveldancer #dancelife #SwingDanceUganda #swingdancelife #lindyhopper #uganda🇺🇬 #yogaflowwithokurut (at Nairobi Kenya) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cku_zgVr8aQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Challenge yourself harder! Being uncomfortable doesn’t just mean “Oh… well this is a new experience.” When you get uncomfortable you should feel an incredible amount of resistance, you should be incredibly nervous and think that this is something you cannot see yourself doing. Go out into the middle of town and start yelling at people everything that is in your mind, all the awesome advice you want to share and what you think is wrong with the world. Talk to a person you believe is so far out of your league that they will not even look at you, and do not stop talking to them until they give you their number. Help a homeless person by standing near them all day and asking people for just $100. “Hey… could you spare a hundred dollars?” Call into live podcasts or TV shows and talk to the host like they are your best friend. Ask your friend to set you up on a blind-date with a potential romantic or business interest. These are just a few things you can do that will really make you uncomfortable. If you want to challenge yourself then do something that you do not want to do. That is what it means to go outside your comfort zone. Everything else is you just diddle-dawdling around, running away from actually ever doing it. November is my birthday month and I would love to celebrate it with the children and am asking for anyone willing to support me to make it more colorful with children so that we can have a big lunch then cake cutting with them. If you love my videos and words of inspiration then just reach me out on how to make that day more enjoyable to my community. #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #yogaflowwithokurutgeorge #happybirthday #month #happinessisachoice #community #swingdancelife #lindyhopperslife #solocharleston #solojazz #solojazzmoves #healthylifestyle #peaceofmind #SwingDanceUganda (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkaaOflr7Ly/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What can I teach myself that can be useful in my life? 1. Accept the fact that not all friends are meant to stay in your life and many just want to use you. 2. Make sure you finish whatever stuff you have started, you waste more time by giving up on plans or anything real soon. 3. If you want to be perfect in anything, don’t forget to invest at least 10,000 hours. It could be driving, learning a new language etc. 4. Never replace some important tasks with urgent tasks! 5. If you are still a student in college, make sure you carry extensive research on topics more than whatever your professor gives to you. 6. As a man, be at least be settled in life before falling in love. 7. Even though taking risks is good, make sure you take calculated risks most especially when it involves a decision that might impact your life. Same thing with the settling of goals. There is a difference between realistic and unrealistic goals. There is also a difference between calculated and uncalculated risks! 8. Learn how to read paychecks and receipts anytime you make purchases. That's is the easiest way to start learning about how to manage and control money. 9. If nobody is jealous of you, then you are not really progressing in life. 10. Travel as much as you can, you will be amazed by how your view about life will change. #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #traveldancer #traveltheworld #swingdancer #swingdancing #swingdancelessons #lindy #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #lindy26 #solojazz #solojazzdance #solocharleston #solojazzmoves #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #SwingDanceUganda #peaceofmind #happiness #yogaflowwithokurutgeorge (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZAXdxr3GK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Prepare For & Expect Blowback There will always be periodic haters out there, and that’s to be expected no matter how many protections you put in place or how successful you get. Just remember that every single celebrity, music artist, or successful person on the planet still has people who say terrible things about them - but they don’t let it stop them, and neither should you. (the exception to this may be Dolly Parton…does anyone not like her?) Anyway, you get my drift. Start aligning yourself with real players and see how they operate… That's life we are in always. #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #dance #swimming #rafting #traveling #traveldancer #peaceofmind #peaceandlove #lindy #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #swingdancelife #swingdancers #solojazz #solojazzmoves #healthylifestyle #SwingDanceUganda (at Belgium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkGnpDdreHL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
