In 2021, I attended Way of the Warrior.
That weekend set me on my path forward…
One moment I’d like to share of that weekend will forever stick with me…
Such was the power of that moment…
“Te Aroha
Te whakapono
Me te Rangimariē
Tatou tatou ē”
A song…
Sung at a moment…
…that nearly felt rehearsed…
…that will forever live in my memories…
~ Way of the Warrior - Pisces new moon 2021 ~
5 facilitators
1 bringing The Masculine
1 bringing The earth / healing / shaman
1 bringing the Breath and yoga
1 bringing movement.
1 bringing The feminine.
Shane was the facilitator that brought the “Feminine” aspect of the weekend - Expression, singing, dancing, acting ( like animals! IYKYK 👀 😂)
When it came time for Shane to stand and express…
.he did…
… he stood there…
… looking into his written notes…
… and started bawling..
… and bawling and bawling…
… in tears 😢
…Tears and tears and tears…
I was in the “movement twitch” of the moment…
‘’Wanting to stand up and give him a hug’’,
and not wanting to ‘stand out and be that guy’
As I looked around…
I wasnt the only one…
Then in one moment..
A stomp on the ground from a fellow bro that didn’t mind being ‘that guy’…
“Alright bros, I know im not the only one feeling this…”
And at once…
Like it was rehearsed…
25ish men…
All stand up…
And form a group hug around ‘the bro that was in tears…
And then…
Like it was rehearsed…
All at once….
25ish men…
in unison…
“Te Aroha
Te whakapono
Me te Rangimariē
Tatou tatou ē”
It was one of the most memorable and beautiful moments of my life.
This is my version of that moment, and I wanted to share this with you all.
Thank you brother 🙏🏽
