hmmm
I had quite the interesting day today...
After sleeping in too late to go draining with Oliva and co., I decided to go and check out Mayaproject at C.E.R.E.S with some friends.
Mayaproject is kind of a hippy fair/dance party/spiritual gathering that is aparently going to be monthly affair from now on.
So i rocked up there at about 3ish after many a hassel with the trains not running between boxhill and camberwell for some reason... Anyway, it seemed to a very small, subdued affair with a handfull of people lounging around in the sun listening to some nice dub, not really worth the $10 entry fee, but id come all this way...
It didnt take us long find some people we knew and their were some pretty nice tunes playing so it was all good.
Being a hippy gathering, there were serveral workshops going on around the place including lucid dreaming, yoga and dance and other forms of new age healing. I was pretty interested in trying kundalini yoga as id read quite abit about it, so some friend and i turned up at the place and time allocated for the workshop. It didnt take long for us to realise some thing was wrong. This was kundalini, but it wasnt yoga... it was kundalini dance, completely with chanting and other strange noises. Too late to back out now. Two of the things im probably least comfortable with are singing and dancing and now is doing both of them in the wierdest possible way infront of a somewhat amused crowd. I couldnt even see my comfort zone from here.
I did feel good to have done it though, and the actual workshop proved have some interesting effects (although it probably would have been a bit more effective in a more relaxed environment. Not an experience ill be repeating in a hurry though.

That CERES park is fun, I went there last year, just with school to study about the environment and renewable energy. I would like to hear you sing and dance a bit, maybe thats how you can tell us what you have learnt. :) No its good to hear that you made the best of the situation. So how good is your friend at singing?
It wasnt actually singing, it was chanting mantras. But still, not really something im overly comfortable with.
