Teacher Training Day 2

OM
I love the Teacher Training.
The effort of making what you do transparent seems to lighten it up.
But Donna summed it up in her quoting of Joel Kramer that we have no choice but to change. we cannot remain the same.

And the unique mix and size of this group are demanding that I show up with less to do and be more open to what reveals itself. It's a natural pack of yogis. Teachers and peeps that want to be teachers. My job is to let them teach more during the training. This requires that I teach less.
