TLP part 2....ish

Wow, has it really been three months since TLP? Dang, i have been busy with work, and now have a little breathing space right before the Christmas Season starts..... yeah, i do work retail!!

The one thing i wanted to write about for the TLP weekend was my workshop.  i was doing a Bootblacking and Spirituality workshop that i have done several times before.  However there was something not quite right.

You see, the first couple times i did this workshop, not only was i teaching people about what and why i do, i was also healing at the same time.  i was still bitter about the first relationship, and working hard to rebuild those relationships.  The first time i did the workshop, i had everyone in tears because of how i was able to relate my feeling into words and project that into the small audience.

The workshop at TLP was something different.

It started out the same, though i was a bit frantic because i left a few things at the Condo.

When we got there, i got into position before the classes started (at Sirs boots resting and focusing)

When the class started, i went to describe the class to another smallish class.... yet it didn’t feel right.

We talked about Master Chucks new boots, and how sometimes.... leathers take a journey to get to where they need to be, and Master Chuck told everyone about how He received his new boots from his new boy. The one thing that felt right, was that when i worked on the boots, and licked the boots was that i was concentrating on the energy of the boots as well as Sir.  This is one of the very few things we have done publicly, and i am great full for that privilege.

Once i answered everyone’s questions, and was done.  i felt empty inside.  The class dynamics was ‘off’ for me, and i couldn’t put my finger on it.

Master Chuck and i talked about it the following week .  We agreed that i would never do that workshop again.  IT needed to change, and Sir challenged me to see how i can transform it, because the need i got from doing the workshop is no longer there.

so left with the question.... How do i transform this workshop to give the same information.... yet fullfil the needs that i have?????
