Question: What did it feel like to take Consciousness Studies?

September - Welcoming - rich, warm soil. Questions were not only not discouraged but were encouraged and eagerly participated in.

Nourishing - a seed's pores open and it swells with water. I could feel my deepest questions and therefore my deepest self being fed by the warm interest of others.

Seeking - tender, young sprouts pierce through the surface of the earth and begin to breathe. Within the space we created together our questions could grow and flourish.

Aligning - greening leaves unfold and face the sun. There was no agenda but to get to the essence of things, to explore one's unique and personal proccess and its significance in the context of the world.

Opening - petals spiraling out in bloom - an opened secret. Former reality is turned inside out.

Quickening - Bee Messengers - Sweetness Seekers - Unknowing Secret Keepers - Carrying messages to and fro - Flowers Conversing. Every person offers a unique way of being in the world.

Listening - The open secret awaits the open question, a delicate space between souls, the womb, out of which, many new things are born.

Deepening - Loosening - Grounding - Roots burrow down into deeper depths, breaking up long hardened darkness, boring through clods of old, tired answers and preconceptions, anchoring deeper in the great unknowing.

Seeing- A flower looks up to the sky, the sun and stars and recognizes itself.

March - Scattering - The petals wilt. The womb falls away. Many questions alight the wind, seeking new ground.
