I’m still deep in my journeying summer, beloveds! I started last month with my first Vipassana course, a ten-day, silent meditation teaching based on the work of the late SN Goenka. It’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but also one of the most rich. On the first day I struggled with how someone so accustomed to being different, being alien, could keep her sense of self when she cant talk in a foreign accent, wear weird clothes, draw, write, dance...being able to release these ego traps was incredibly profound...& this was just the first day! I’ll be sending writing & art about this loss & rebuilding of self to humans subscribed to my love letters in the next few weeks! (you can do that via the link in my bio if you fancy!) In the meantime who knows who this statue is? I would love to know! She kept me silent company at the American Bodhi Centre where the course was held. Has anyone else taken Vipassana? What did you think of it? Did you carry it on afterwards? Peace & happiness to you, beloveds! 💖✨💐 . . . . . . #meditation #vipassana #buddhism #self #lifelessons #growth #pagan #witch #spiritual #spirituality #release #writer #artist #illustrator #connected #spiritualwoman #love #lovereigns (at American Bodhi Center)
