Speaker: Sara Johnston
Describe what you experienced at the Intensive.
Sara Johnston: Describing the event. This one I've written. So I'm gonna read it. Um Each one of us arrived, ready to be challenged to play and meet new beautiful souls. We were a location, a diverse group with various communities and work environments. But we arrived ready and trusting of the process. Uh Choke could have given us a pickle jar and told us to use it in a meaningful creative way and we would have been on it. We left, we played, we had deep meaningful conversations. A lot of them, we were strangers walking in the door on Monday, friends by Monday night and um in the tribe by Wednesday, at least not earlier. And I really feel like we've now forever been laced together on this journey of like what it means to give real raw, deepening massage. Um By the end of the week, the aspect of differing experience levels to both the genre and to massage um didn't stop us from all being able to interact on an equal level, which I really appreciated there. Of course, were some holdbacks and pauses and deep breaths and adjusting to the work. Um But truly, I feel like each person I got to learn from, um, play with, um be genuinely myself and um hopefully hold that genuine space for them as well where we got to inspire each other to be better.
