​The Song of the Eagle Soaring

Closing circle and check out: What has bloomed in you?

  • The last jigsaw piece – how to move forward in the world. Still in emergent space – I want to deepen this practice in me now.
  • I came to do yoga – I feel pushed. I don’t have to wait, just to do something
  • Great, warm radiance in my heart for those in Goa who want to walk in this heart wat. Sense of joy I I’ve identified in some in Goa. A beautiful heart web starting to weave… wouldn’t it be amazing for Goa to be a hub – a holding space in its transience. A faith in my own gut and heart response – and a deep feeling of support from others
  • Feels like we’ve unveiled a room of Art of Hosting practitioners. Inspired by people here living lives of authenticity. I feel about the practice in a different way
  • A better understanding of the practice, and what I still need to learn – need to sharpen my sword. A lot of solutions can be accessed by listening to ancient wisdoms made visible through Art of Hosting.
  • So happy this is sprouting. I’m going to water and nurture those seeds so they bloom
  • Gentleness. You’ve welcomed us in many folds, holding our hands. I didn’t miss my home. His feels like the interval – Goa, and the other half of the movie in Hyderabad. You have prepared me well. I see there is strength and something beautiful in this.
  • A feeling of gratitude to hosts who welcomed us with such openness. There was uncertainty about my place here – I’m certain now.  A leader in my chair – at least the beginning of it. The power to ask questions, the four-fold practice. To host myself and others with open heart, open mind, open will – it’s very strong
  • Biggest flower in my garden is gratitude – no ego here – everyone as humble learners. Humility – to come here with our gifts and we leave these gifts with you.
  • Self-realisation. I like frameworks. I want to use this in my organisation, I think it will be useful to plan. I think I will become a better listener.
  • I feel like now I can build. I’ve always started things – and now I feel like can actually build. Divine timing. I asked for this – to experience the magic I know I have somewhere. It’s here, I feel enriched.
  • Shareholders – we share that magic and I’m grateful. One consciousness
  • I’ve never experienced such synchronicity and magic. Beyond words amazing. Gives me absolute truth that a more beautiful world is possible, I thought it before, I know it know. So grateful. I see my life’s purpose in much more clarity – one of the most magic experiences of my life and I’ll never forget it.
  • Confidence; on top of the world
  • I am possible
  • Circle of co-creation is so powerful
  • Creative and connected
  • What else can I do?
  • Discover a gift in me; meta-harvest
  • AOH has bloomed in me
  • Hold ourselves accountable to take action in our communities
  • Optimism that it is possible; desire to do something with it
  • I don’t have to feed the cynic in me
  • I won’t be going back to how I was before
  • New heart connections
  • Goa is so transient – hard to build community; people work so hard in season​
  • I feel like a practitioner now
  • Harvesting has bloomed; talking is one step; what comes out is where change can happen
  • Bringing your authentic self
  • Everyone is coming from heart space
  • Authenticity and heart connections
  • A deep sense of calm
  • We stepped in and stepped up and it’s time to step out
  • It is two years since the journey started in Delhi; but it had to start in goa where there are people from all over the world; there had to be a beautiful alignment
  • This time the sun had to rise from the west
  • Deep gratitude and heartfelt thanks to everyone who answered the call to come
  • Goa feels like a home away from home
  • Being a mirror or reflection
  • Stepping into my potential as a human being
  • Having people witness that
  • Everyone here is living a life of their own choice
  • Co-creation; change starts now
  • The way we can show our gratitude is to take it forward
  • I have done a lot of leadership training but this is the most effective thing I have done,
  • Our duty is to take it forward
  • Friendship; I got to know my dear friends on a deeper level on this journey
  • Commitment; something is alive and singing there is no pain in saying a full hearted yes!
  • Anchoring in the fourfold flow
  • Feeling blessed for circle; circles of the past and those to come; show the support we have received blessed for amazing teachers and true teachers; who have come from a far land; who answered the call in their hearts
  • Most people in circle are my elders; my mentors; in circle mentorship just shows up, deeply and authentically
  • Deep sense of power and co-creation
  • Steward to land, self, wife, children all to come and all who have been blessed for being in this space right now
  • Sens of purpose and community
  • I am not alone to take my first steps on this path. Great to see people teaching and being in the flow, walking the talk
  • I wanted to escape by lunch on day one, but now I want more; comfort and feeling of support
  • The fire and the desire to learn more again
  • I had so much time; in unauthenticity it has pushed me way from doing any weird stuff like this
  • Rekindling my fire; continuing to learn and grow and share
  • I have always been in a lot of conflict in the world
  • Walking out with courage showing up when you didn’t know what would happen
  • I can sit at home and think that the next evolution of human consciousness is possible; you have given me the opportunity to witness it; put my theory into practice
  • The world is in this room and it has shown its face. The new world.
  • The longer purpose; and my life’s purpose have more clarity; for this I am grateful
  • Thank you for showing up with your authentic selves
  • Ask for what you need and I will do my best to support

Gratitude and farewell
