Orange Juice Kidding Me?
(Thanks to https://akoskm.gumroad.com/l/blb for inspiration to post!)

Last night, trying to pour a full carton of mikan juice into my thermos, I tipped it over onto my desk. I quickly picked it up before it all gushed out, but it was still quite a mess.

I didn’t think to take a photo of this as an IG moment, but I did quickly switch from “fffuccckkk shit shit shit shit” to a nice deep breath and “thank you God for guiding me.” “Thank you Spirit for helping me find the value in this moment.”

Though I was quite tired, I knew I’d be better off cleaning it up in liquid form instead of sticky-sugar-glue form, so I started cleaning. Fortunately, my electronics remained undrenched; I was grateful I therefore would just need to toss or dry out some papers, then wipe up the spill.

During the cleanup, I suddenly heard more dripping as mikan juice reached the back edge of the desk and cascaded to the floor. I’ve got a layer of interlocking rubber tiles to protect the floor from bumps and dents, but they certainly didn’t stop mikan juice from reaching the actual flooring below them.

Fortunately, the rubber floor tiles which are literally pinned down by my desk didn’t get flooded, so it was pretty easy to clean all the ones with mikan juice below them.

In the cleanup process, I moved my personal computer to the right hand side of my desk. I’ll take this opportunity to close the left hand side of my desk by the end of July, when I’ll no longer be using my soon-to-be-ex company laptop.

All said, this was a great chance to toss some old papers, downsize my desk space, and prepare to have more floor space in my room. yayyy!

Here’s what previous participants have to say…

“I could feel that there was an inner change in me. Thank you for this valuable opportunity💖”

– Ayako Suzuki

“Thank you both for all your cares, magical, nurturing and insightful shared time ✨ I feel now centered, soft and strong at the same time. ☯️ You made a beautiful alchemy together that heals and touches people 😌”

– Horus

“The healing and connection circle was incredible! I immensely enjoyed all of the facilitated activities, shares, and experiences. There was indeed a great deal of both healing and connection that I experienced that evening. I actually came to the workshop feeling immensely exhausted and stressed that day due to other circumstances. Rob and Jess were excellent at guiding the participants to be present and set aside mental distractions. I experienced a great deal of calmness, and release of physical and emotional pain. There were many activities that provided me with rich personal insight into aspects of my energy and how to communicate and express both masculinity and femininity. The guided sound meditation, light language, and Reiki healing were all extremely relaxing and helped me to release a lot of tangible physical and emotional pain in the moment, as well as to more easily rest and get a good night’s sleep. I was dealing with a lot of exhaustion, ruminations, discomfort in my head space, and other areas such as my knees which hold chronic pain & trauma from injuries. All of these parts of my body felt much better after the healing. Furthermore, I have been able to use the insights and experiences from the other parts of the workshop to improve my communication, establish needed boundaries, and recognize what I can physically do to embody the right kind of energy or attitude that brings further healing and growth in my life!"

– Nathan Brandli

“Thank you so much to Jess and Rob for this enlightening and transformative Connection Circle: For Conscious Men & Women. After integrating the healing I was led to empowering insights and clarity which enabled me to release limiting beliefs in relation to self worth and guilt; release connections unaligned with my authentic self; and take inspired action aligned with my soul."

– Josephine

“Thank you for a wonderful evening. I felt really good and the next day I had a beautiful day with friends and loved ones. And even though I’ve had a lot of dreams they are not distressing like they’ve been in the past. I feel in a good place."

– April Fischer

What To Bring?

  • Pen and journal
  • A sacred item that represents the masculine and feminine
  • Your lovely self!

Please be mindful to arrive on time as doors will close at 6:30pm. Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another who would greatly appreciate this experience.
