the people and why were they having these experiences and I wasn't feeling it. But I was like, look, dude, you're already here. You can decide later what to make of all this. Just do your best, participate, try not to judge it. Because, you know, when you judge something before you even do it, just because you're uncomfortable, then you're guaranteed to get nothing out of it.

So I didn't want to do that. You know, I appreciate that.

OK, so I'm sitting there waiting for my turn. I'm having a low grade panic attack for sure, man. Yeah, people are going in there and they are doing these interesting dances and having these super seemingly super profound experiences. I'm not going to say much about them because I want to be respectful to people, whatever. But just like it's out there.

stuff it's almost like i would say it's akin to what is that called chair therapy i don't know what is that when people like yell at an absent parent in an empty chair as part of those like words it was kind of like that oh gosh but anyway finally it's my turn and i'm like what am i gonna do i hate this i hate this so much i don't want i could barely dance a few weeks ago now i have to do this in front of all these people right so i walk into the circle i am half dissociated at this point

Like I'm watching myself from the ceiling. Out of body experience. Yes. Humiliated. And I can feel everyone's eyes on me and I'm kind of mortified and I'm just like, well, I'm not going to pretend that I'm having some deep experience I'm not having. So I just walked into the circle and I just stood there. It was probably the most boring thing that anyone had seen that day.

And I just like closed my eyes and I just... I thought about my trip and how grateful I am to be doing this and, you know, like stepping into a new chapter and, you know, just like, how long do I have to stand here? So it looks like I gave this a shot, but not so long that I embarrassed myself unnecessarily, you know?

Yeah, it was like writing down the equations in physics when you didn't know how to do the problems. And you're like, oh, he's going to give me some points for this. And then I just capped it off with a little yoga namaste hands, bowed my head. Always a safe bet. Always a fan favorite. That's right. You definitely read the room on that one.
