Graduation!!!!

Tears, flowers, special guests, pictures, Jivamukt alumni, more pictures, surprise visitors, kirtan,hugs, even more pictures, smiles, laughter, presents, and some more pictures.......

That is pretty much all I remember from last night. It was all such a whirl, kinda like this entire month, and it just flew by. We had our final exam the day before, a comedy skit in the afternoon, our graduation picture before dinner, and then dinner. It was lovely - specially prepared by the Omega staff and full of surprise visitors and guests. Senior Jivamukti Teachers Nicole Nichols and Michael Hewett came up from NYC, and it was nice to reconnect after having see them during their visit to DC before the Teacher Training. Other alumni teachers came in from everywhere, including Colorado, South Carolina, and Virginia Beach. And then a special surprise visitor blessed us with his presence; Shyam Das, a dear friend of David and Sharon and gifted kirtan singer, author, and translator, showed up at dinner. David and Sharon said this was the first time Shyam Das made an appearance, and the only graduation to be graced with live performance chanting by one of the world's greatest kirtan masters!

Our graduation ceremony followed dinner and was lovely. We each were called up one by one, and got a flower, certificate, and picture with David and Sharon. A fellow TT'er from Germany, who is a professional photographer, volunteered her services to take an individual photo of each graduate with David and Sharon. I can't wait to get mine!

And so, it is done. We are all now certified Jivamukti Yoga Teachers. Or, as our mentor Alanna named us, "certified Jivamukti rock stars." It flew by so quickly and now its all over. Everyone is packing up this morning and heading out. But, as Alanna beautifully said last night, we are now part of one big extended family, spanning the entire world.

Jivamukti rocks on!

AHA! is the exclamation of discovery, when something thats been lost is found, an expression of reconnection/recognition. the 1st letter in sanskrit alphabet is Ah, and the last letter is Ha. the yogi endeavors to experience the beginning & end simultaneously in the present moment. the beginning is also the end. the way is is the way out.
