I approached and experienced the HAI workshop from a consciously chosen perspective akin to being in the front seat of a potential roller coaster ride not holding on (trusting the moment) and was able to experience giving and receiving far more than my money's worth of sharing, giving and receiving clean good fun, laughter, courage, adaptability, adventure, love, acceptance, friendship, sensuality, intimacy, insights about myself and my sexuality and that of about others. I learnt very important lessons about daring to touch from healing intent, trespass, spontaneity and the need to verbally ask and obtain permission about touching others in particular time space settings even though such touching would be ok with me in such contexts.. assuming it was with good intent.... assumed until proven otherwise. Perhaps my biggest lesson was being and staying in gratitude and honouring the choices others made even tho they appeared to limit the potential benefits of various shared exercises.
