You can 5 00:00:26.530 --> 00:00:40.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): get your journal, get a something to write with, and let yourself just rest and relax and be held. This is the Guru mantra by that mixed. 6 00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:42.300 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So that 7 00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:49.000 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): just take a moment to get presence. 8 00:02:00.050 --> 00:02:01.300 you know. 9 00:02:09.789 --> 00:02:11.400 But it is you. 10 00:02:31.390 --> 00:02:33.469 That's what I 11 00:02:42.290 --> 00:02:43.080 so. 12 00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:54.520 but it the 13 00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:04.150 my 14 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:08.380 to be 15 00:03:27.830 --> 00:03:29.470 good. 16 00:03:45.770 --> 00:03:47.930 That's right. 17 00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.070 But have 18 00:04:14.090 --> 00:04:15.000 the sky. 19 00:04:32.870 --> 00:04:38.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! Welcome. welcome, welcome 20 00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:44.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): where you are in all of the places and stages 21 00:04:44.550 --> 00:04:52.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and moods that we might be welcoming the entirety of you. 22 00:04:53.260 --> 00:05:04.970 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Today we are going to focus on creativity, but also the creativity and honoring that comes from honoring our gurus, our teachers. 23 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:06.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And 24 00:05:07.130 --> 00:05:22.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so I invite you, if you would like, and for those who just arrived you might want to have a bowl of water. I have a bowl of water with a stone in it. It felt like I have just been feeling the need for some grounding, so you may want a bowl of water. 25 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:45.359 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and you might like a candle and something to like your candle. I have some old school matches from India. But I will use to like the candle in a little while, and if you don't have any of the supplies, it's always okay, because you can visualize and connect energetically 26 00:05:45.870 --> 00:05:47.490 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): one of the 27 00:05:48.610 --> 00:06:13.760 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): teachings from Yoga that I appreciate so much, and it's described in a lot of the Vedic text. If that with any practice, whether it's Asana or Mudra or a mantra. We can participate in that experience in multiple ways, and one is the most gross, like gross as in physical material, like actually holding Omadra. 28 00:06:14.380 --> 00:06:24.549 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the other is subtle, visualizing the thing. We're meditating upon it, seeing it in your mind side. And then the final way 29 00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:33.909 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): is experiential to embody the experience of that or mantra, or in this case, candle or water elements. 30 00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:43.820 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And so in some ways, when we are somewhere where we or we're just too tired to get up and get the things. It's actually 31 00:06:43.980 --> 00:07:00.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a way to deeply connect with early. You'll get practitioners who said, we don't need the ritual. We don't need the all of the trappings of a connection to the divine, because it's already with us, and we embody it, and we just need to 32 00:07:01.170 --> 00:07:21.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): practice and be it without even you know, the the tools are there to remind us what we already always have. So I just want to encourage you to not ever feel bound by the tools and even the shapes, the Asena, the mud. They are really just tools to remind us of of our own connection. 33 00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:33.439 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So with that, I'd love to invite folks to share where you're at maybe 2 words. how you're coming to this put together? 34 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.660 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): at this moment. and you can put that in the tat. 35 00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:39.940 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm. 36 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.229 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): oh, nice same. Yes, that's wonderful 37 00:07:48.510 --> 00:07:52.989 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for me. Take a moment to just feel. 38 00:07:54.020 --> 00:07:54.990 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm 39 00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:00.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): 3 words 40 00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:07.929 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): happy and grounded and excited, not awake properly. 41 00:08:08.020 --> 00:08:09.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes. 42 00:08:09.620 --> 00:08:11.710 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): hopeful and connected. 43 00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:15.220 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 44 00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:24.469 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And just welcoming you from from wherever you are and all the ways. 45 00:08:24.770 --> 00:08:30.660 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and you can drop the space that you're in the physical space, or how you're doing. 46 00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:36.029 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Some folks are feeling anxious, frazzled, calm 47 00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:38.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): concerned, caring 48 00:08:38.450 --> 00:08:41.549 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so all of it, all of it, is welcome. 49 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:53.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, the Bronx, physically or mentally, deep space, energetically. Yes. 50 00:08:53.930 --> 00:08:56.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): all that, all the places 51 00:08:57.710 --> 00:08:59.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so welcome. 52 00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:12.119 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and sometimes I like to just take a moment and kind of call back my energy from all the places that I've been just from traveling, or just feeling the folks who are feeling frazzled and anxious. 53 00:09:12.520 --> 00:09:24.649 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's bringing your energy back, and then I'll invite the bell, and I would love to guide us on a meditation to honor and reflect on our teachers. 54 00:09:24.850 --> 00:09:33.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And when I do this I am. I'm going to actually talk a little bit before I do the meditation. because I want to just 55 00:09:34.900 --> 00:09:39.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): give you the the kind of foundational perspective that 56 00:09:39.660 --> 00:10:02.440 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you're honoring your teachers, known and unknown. There may be teachers back in the lineage before you, and the lineage of you, that who who you can just imagine, and there may be folks in your life who have disqualified themselves from being called a teacher by you, but who at 1 point were your teachers because they didn't 57 00:10:02.540 --> 00:10:28.170 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): comport themselves or live in alignment with Yoga ethics, or they caused you or others harm, and so acknowledging that, and then moving what I do because I have had that experience, although not in a Yogic lineage. in an educational lineage is, I just move to their teachers, and if if that doesn't resonate or you don't want to move to the teachers of that particular person or teachers 58 00:10:28.170 --> 00:10:37.739 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to the quality of education or the quality of teaching. So you do not have to acknowledge teachers who may have caused harm 59 00:10:37.820 --> 00:10:58.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): as your teacher, and I just want to check in to see if anyone has any questions about that, because before we do a meditation to honor our teachers. I want to make sure that folks are feeling connected. And like that's something that's accessible to you. 60 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.559 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And if you have any questions. I'd love to 61 00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:08.410 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to take the time to adjust that and hear from you. 62 00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:10.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 63 00:11:11.620 --> 00:11:16.620 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I think one of the other pieces I've been reflecting a lot about. This is 64 00:11:17.570 --> 00:11:30.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): in part of creating changing cultures from harm to healing or from vicious cycles to virtuous cycles. Some of that begins with like individuals 65 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.649 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): standing up or speaking up. 66 00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:37.019 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Some of that continues with changing culture. And 67 00:11:37.040 --> 00:12:02.900 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a lot of it is like cultures of harm, instead, changing that to cultures of transparency where we don't just honor our teachers without addressing right these things. And we are in a community like this exploring Yoga ethics and the values that we might think we share. But perhaps we practice differently from one another. So we get to kind of wrestle with that and tussle with that 68 00:12:04.140 --> 00:12:08.970 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Do you acknowledge 69 00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:16.880 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that you're skipping over those individuals, or just skip without mentioning them? You know I think that's a personal choice 70 00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:41.550 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for me. I skip, and I mentioned in my mind, like the teachers from this institution, again from an educational institution who beneficially influenced me. Right? So I'll just kind of address it generally without naming the specific teachers. I don't want to think about them. It's not helpful to me, and I don't actually feel like they were. They were good role models or supportive. And so I just don't 71 00:12:41.550 --> 00:12:46.839 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): don't name them. That's my choice. so it I think it's 72 00:12:47.300 --> 00:13:09.429 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it's for you to to decide. And then also it can change, you know. Maybe you're in a place where you want to just not address or for some of us we may be wishing compassion, for you know the harm that they caused, or the people who who they cost harm to and for others. You're not in a place where you want to do that. 73 00:13:10.390 --> 00:13:14.920 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah. it's going. There's no no one can tell you 74 00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:22.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the right way for you, particularly when there's been a breach in ethical, you know. 75 00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:25.589 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I I would say it's like a 76 00:13:25.680 --> 00:13:29.969 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a breach in that kind of spiritual contract to uphold 77 00:13:30.180 --> 00:13:41.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the values you get values and values of kindness of non harm. no one gets to tell you how you relate to that. You decide for yourself. 78 00:13:41.460 --> 00:14:00.049 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): in part, because often when there is that reach part of the harm is the removing of autonomy from the folks who are impacted. And so part of the healing. This has been my experience, and also from the you know, folks in the field that I've studied with around healing is 79 00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:13.979 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): reconnecting survivors or folks who are, even if one doesn't, to give themselves a survivor like peripherally impacted by institutions that are that have or teachers who've cost harm 80 00:14:14.310 --> 00:14:21.289 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): is reconnecting them to their own autonomy and their sense of connection to the divine into spirit. 81 00:14:25.260 --> 00:14:35.510 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah, can I speak a sentence or 2 about holding on to practices that are beneficial while also letting go of harmful teachers that presented the practice. 82 00:14:35.520 --> 00:14:39.080 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, that that's going to be very 83 00:14:40.210 --> 00:14:56.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): individual. And how you you, how much of that you choose to do for me? It's knowing that the practices themselves, you know, Yoga is, is considered, and Vedic wisdom is considered divinely transmitted. 84 00:14:56.640 --> 00:15:01.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): meaning. It came from from the divine from source 85 00:15:01.890 --> 00:15:03.710 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): into humankind. 86 00:15:03.950 --> 00:15:11.290 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And it it's us humans that translate and transmit this through our. 87 00:15:11.330 --> 00:15:23.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you know, the best ways that we have, whether it's orally or in writing or in practice, in how live our lives? But sometimes that transmission is 88 00:15:24.060 --> 00:15:26.820 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): is not given. It's it's full 89 00:15:26.970 --> 00:15:50.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): flower. And so then I connect to the practice itself, and I seek out perhaps other teachers who I do feel are in that kind of ethical practice, or feel aligned in their teaching, and I learn that same practice from them. So it's knowing that the practices themselves 90 00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:57.779 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): are there to support all beings, and that it's it's kind of like human error and human 91 00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:18.670 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): hurt and suffering that sometimes transmits it and translates it in a way that's that's not helpful. And then also just holding space for for some people there may be particular practices that came. And you don't want to do those practices. And that's okay, too. so 92 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.469 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): again, coming back to 93 00:16:21.690 --> 00:16:23.840 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to agency for you. 94 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:32.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I've been thinking a lot about this, because for you or I, 95 00:16:32.280 --> 00:16:37.750 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): as teachers today, right, we'll just kind of close this loop and then go into our practice 96 00:16:41.590 --> 00:17:03.829 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to really do our best to share Yoga, you know. And again, you don't have to be a teacher. You can be a practitioner of these principles, or your version, and your different spirituality or religion of of these principles of care, of non harm. And we're human. And so we may cause harm, because, remembering that their ideals. 97 00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:30.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): not practices, that we can do with perfection right we may not we not going to do it perfectly. And so what are the kind of guard rails or like? You know what bowling with like kiddo the other day? And they put at first these bumpers so you couldn't make a gutter wall right like, can we put bumpers that just help us kind of bowl towards the the pins of 98 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): liberation 99 00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:55.799 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): with more care. And I think we can actually put those bumpers on. And it's not cheating. It's actually supportive right to have these guardrails like the ethical practices themselves like community one another, maybe a spiritual friend, like a Kalanametra person who who is there for you on your path, and 100 00:17:55.910 --> 00:18:00.579 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): has a spiritual practice also that you tech in with or mentors. 101 00:18:00.930 --> 00:18:13.220 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You know there, there are guardrails that that we can put in that support us, and this is part of in body and yoga, and and practicing and teaching in ways that 102 00:18:13.410 --> 00:18:20.750 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that lead to help in healing rather than than harm. And then also, what do we do when there is hard? Right is, take 103 00:18:20.870 --> 00:18:28.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): care and have compassion for ourselves, and then and then for do our best to repair that with others. 104 00:18:28.840 --> 00:18:54.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Okay, yes, wonderful. So let's practice. And I will invite the bell and once again, if you would like, you can have a whole of water. You don't need to and a candle. But again, you don't have to have those things because we can practice to visualization as well and also hold mine for you. 105 00:18:54.630 --> 00:19:08.210 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Okay. to find an easy way to be sitting, maybe leaning against the back of your chair. line down. resting on your sofa whatever you would like 106 00:19:52.800 --> 00:19:57.550 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): me that in deep breath out. 107 00:20:10.040 --> 00:20:13.430 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): continuing to focus on your breath. 108 00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:19.419 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): letting your breath support you. 109 00:20:25.730 --> 00:20:27.139 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): This month 110 00:20:27.430 --> 00:20:31.149 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): was the earlier, this month, this the 111 00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:41.840 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): holiday of Guru. time to offer prayers and blessings. acknowledging 112 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:46.669 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): your teachers wisdom and their impact on your lives. 113 00:20:49.380 --> 00:20:57.080 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So I invite you to visualize and reflect back on some of your first teachers. 114 00:20:57.760 --> 00:21:03.909 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and for many of us, particularly in Indian or other 115 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:09.479 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Asian cultural traditions, our first teachers are often said to be our parents. 116 00:21:11.030 --> 00:21:17.750 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So once again, if that feels appropriate for you could be chosen family. 117 00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:21.760 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): spiritual family. blood family 118 00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:26.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): acknowledging your early teachers. 119 00:21:34.970 --> 00:21:38.129 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and I'm calling to mind your 120 00:21:38.510 --> 00:21:45.410 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): spiritual teachers. This might be a pundit or priest, or 121 00:21:47.800 --> 00:21:52.660 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): could have been a high school or elementary school teacher 122 00:21:53.850 --> 00:21:55.169 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): could have been a 123 00:21:56.910 --> 00:22:03.719 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): he'll get us in a teacher. Anyone along the path who guided you supported you 124 00:22:04.040 --> 00:22:05.350 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): taught you. 125 00:22:07.210 --> 00:22:10.809 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Maybe they didn't even realize that they were your teacher. 126 00:22:13.470 --> 00:22:17.150 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and for some of us. There's many, many people. 127 00:22:17.580 --> 00:22:23.299 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and so you might think all those who have taught me. If you don't. 128 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:30.519 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I have the her presence of mind to name each one, and it's also okay 129 00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:33.129 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to name and call to mind 130 00:22:33.150 --> 00:22:35.229 a face or a name 131 00:22:35.270 --> 00:22:37.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): of some. and then 132 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:40.710 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): generally acknowledged those 133 00:22:41.370 --> 00:22:43.540 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): who you don't remember right now. 134 00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:53.169 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): now, this is your visualization. So you can 135 00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:59.409 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): visualize offering to these folks who have been mentors and guides 136 00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:04.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): any kind of gift or offering. Traditionally. 137 00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.439 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we would offer flowers or sweets fruit. 138 00:23:10.530 --> 00:23:14.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You'd be a beautiful tool gold. 139 00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:23.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You can visualize anything that you find valuable for yourself, so it could be a journal or a book. 140 00:23:25.870 --> 00:23:30.800 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and visualize yourself offering this gift to these gifts 141 00:23:32.990 --> 00:23:41.529 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to your teachers. and they warmly receive your gift. your gifts. 142 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:59.730 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): No, I invite you to let go a little bit of the 143 00:23:59.780 --> 00:24:09.060 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for that these teachers took, and take and hold on to the qualities 144 00:24:10.190 --> 00:24:20.210 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that they embody. So for me, some of those qualities are grace. humor. kindness. 145 00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:27.630 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a real anchored, solid spiritual practice. 146 00:24:29.550 --> 00:24:36.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Curiosity here is maybe similar or different. might like to 147 00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:41.630 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): reflect and name those qualities in your mind's eye 148 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:32.459 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): can keep practicing like this, while you also acknowledge that your teachers had teachers and those teachers had teachers, and particularly in the lineage. We're back, probably, if not your teachers, but you know, and maybe 2, 3, 4, probably at most 5 generations on the subcontinent of India. 149 00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:34.380 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and 150 00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:39.000 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): with practitioners who would have been practicing 151 00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:43.809 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): under colonial rule, and then back before them 152 00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:49.439 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): couple of 100 years, a few generations of teachers in the classical 153 00:25:50.950 --> 00:25:53.760 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): period, pre-classical 154 00:25:56.470 --> 00:25:59.590 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): even back around the time where. 155 00:26:00.890 --> 00:26:04.260 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): potentially for being codified 156 00:26:07.030 --> 00:26:10.200 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): all these generations of teachers. 157 00:26:11.850 --> 00:26:23.500 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And what a gift it is that these teachers and practitioners. not in one unbroken line, but in various lineage, lineages and various forms 158 00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:26.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): practiced and taught. 159 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:34.390 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So this wisdom tradition could come to us today. 160 00:26:35.450 --> 00:26:47.719 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So, giving gratitude and thanks to this early practitioners of Yoga Vedic practices, the way that you wish to connect again, maybe offering 161 00:26:48.810 --> 00:26:53.609 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a gift. or about our mantra 162 00:26:55.540 --> 00:26:58.290 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a gesture of thanks. 163 00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:05.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm deep reference. an appreciation. 164 00:27:21.950 --> 00:27:30.190 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm imagining this light coming from this early practitioners down through time and space. 165 00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:36.760 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I passed down from teacher to students and students 166 00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:43.549 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to teacher, and on and on. So this light comes to you. 167 00:27:46.030 --> 00:27:51.589 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and you can visualize the light of knowledge, the light of wisdom. 168 00:27:52.610 --> 00:27:57.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): appreciation for the teachings and teachers 169 00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:12.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so begin to reflect on 170 00:28:12.260 --> 00:28:16.810 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): as this, like fills you and maybe spills over from you. 171 00:28:17.780 --> 00:28:20.100 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Perhaps it's a light at your heart. 172 00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:33.069 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): What might you intend to do with this beautiful gift that your teachers and those teachers of your teaches and on back. 173 00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:34.520 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): have given you. 174 00:28:35.040 --> 00:28:43.789 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Are there any new intentions that you would like to set for for the progress or growth, or learning. 175 00:28:51.460 --> 00:29:02.590 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Doing this with the full trust. I have these wisdom ancestors at your back in your side. your comments, your friends 176 00:29:03.510 --> 00:29:11.829 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): not really needing to strive, but just feeling is, are there any intentions, any direction that I would like to go? 177 00:29:25.970 --> 00:29:26.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 178 00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:39.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Acknowledging that. And if you're not sure that's okay, trusting it will come to you 179 00:29:40.690 --> 00:29:43.419 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for me. The words deep listening. 180 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.800 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a roads, listening deeply to 181 00:29:50.260 --> 00:29:54.410 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): others needs and supporting them. 182 00:30:00.730 --> 00:30:09.049 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): if you're not sure, and you would really like to anchor in an intention, perhaps connecting to one of the 183 00:30:09.840 --> 00:30:12.160 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and allowing that to be your anchor. 184 00:30:12.690 --> 00:30:16.079 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): infusing that quality or that 185 00:30:17.310 --> 00:30:26.590 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): ethical principle with the light that is passed down. It's always already connected, but feeling it and seeing it filled with light. 186 00:30:33.780 --> 00:30:38.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then anchoring that into your heart, letting it go. 187 00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:47.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And in a moment we're going to open our eyes, and if they're closed and light our candles 188 00:30:47.940 --> 00:31:04.569 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and gaze into the flame of this light, and so you can continue to visualize, if you prefer to practice that way, or I invite you to open your eyes and gaze light in case at your candle. 189 00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:07.210 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We can do that now. 190 00:31:33.280 --> 00:31:36.390 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Well, my candle also to 191 00:31:39.090 --> 00:31:42.059 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you all. So, if you like. 192 00:31:42.330 --> 00:31:44.130 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you can case 193 00:31:45.230 --> 00:31:50.850 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): into the flame. And this is a practice called. 194 00:31:52.870 --> 00:31:59.119 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's a Prettihara practice of Yoga, a practice of focusing your senses. 195 00:32:00.270 --> 00:32:05.009 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And there are 2 main ways that I know to practice this. 196 00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:13.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and one is to gaze at the candle flame and allow yourself to blink, you know, as you normally would. 197 00:32:13.620 --> 00:32:19.129 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then the other transforms the practice into a cleansing Korea. 198 00:32:19.430 --> 00:32:23.690 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So you would gaze at the candle without blinking. 199 00:32:24.630 --> 00:32:29.070 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and if you do that cleansing Korea, your eyes may begin to water. 200 00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:35.880 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and that's okay It might feel uncomfortable. And you can continue as long as you would like, or you can 201 00:32:36.450 --> 00:32:45.929 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): begin to blink. It's a little practice for a few minutes noticing what you notice as you get into the flame. 202 00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:51.720 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): visualize the flame 203 00:33:48.090 --> 00:33:54.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): our way thinking and acknowledging this light 204 00:33:56.910 --> 00:34:00.469 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): plate of knowledge. of wisdom. 205 00:34:05.150 --> 00:34:08.130 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): perhaps bowing to the light. 206 00:34:09.560 --> 00:34:16.339 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then you can place it and it. My eyes are watering out of it. You can place it near 207 00:34:16.530 --> 00:34:19.510 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): your water, keeping it lit. 208 00:34:19.820 --> 00:34:21.320 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm part of why 209 00:34:21.530 --> 00:34:28.320 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I invite you to have water is so we can also honor the balance of the water energy. 210 00:34:28.620 --> 00:34:45.369 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and also for safety in case you need water for your candle at any time. So if you would like to do this, you can whisper your intentions or that quality of your ethics into your water. 211 00:34:46.139 --> 00:34:58.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and we can imagine the water just like the fire connecting us to early Yoga practitioners who are practicing by streams. Rivers. 212 00:34:59.330 --> 00:35:07.980 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): This water just like this flame. Is it the same? Or it's a different. There are molecules in this water that we're likely present. 213 00:35:08.010 --> 00:35:22.420 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): even at that early forest, when I see a time. and you can connect to that quality a presence in practice. whispering your intentions into your water. 214 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:45.280 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then 215 00:35:45.710 --> 00:35:47.580 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I feel complete. 216 00:35:47.800 --> 00:36:01.629 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You can take your ring finger of your right hand if you would like, and take the water and give yourself a a self connection, self blessing, by placing the water on your forehead or on the crown of your head. 217 00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:20.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thinking the water elements, and then you can place it on your altar when later, if you would like court into a sacred plant or plant friend, you know, or a place around you, that you would like to share your intentions. 218 00:36:23.350 --> 00:36:27.670 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We'll invite the bell to close our practice 219 00:36:29.980 --> 00:36:32.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): in the moment, as I invite the bell. 220 00:36:35.390 --> 00:36:41.480 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): allow yourself to connect back to those qualities of your teachers. 221 00:36:42.720 --> 00:36:55.180 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then, when you stop hearing the sound, the invitation is to turn to your journal notebook the chat, if you prefer, and start to write the qualities that your teachers embodied 222 00:37:31.810 --> 00:37:34.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): returning to our channels. 223 00:37:35.220 --> 00:37:39.830 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): finding a space to write down some of those qualities. 224 00:37:42.790 --> 00:37:45.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and if you don't have any. 225 00:37:45.630 --> 00:37:52.560 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): You know that you can recollect. You can make up some holidays you envision a teacher would have. 226 00:37:53.600 --> 00:37:56.870 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'll take a couple of minutes 227 00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:59.599 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): about a minute to right those qualities out. 228 00:39:29.750 --> 00:39:40.450 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): How the next reflection for your journal is to reflect on. You know there is 229 00:39:41.390 --> 00:39:45.840 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a seed of each of those qualities within you. 230 00:39:46.000 --> 00:40:03.629 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and if there wasn't, you wouldn't recognize it in your teacher and or teachers, and for some of us this can be really hard to recognize. It's like, oh, nothing like that amazing teacher. But you are. And so the invitation is to 231 00:40:03.660 --> 00:40:05.250 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): gently. 232 00:40:05.330 --> 00:40:14.919 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): softly, if it needs to be, you know, and firmly, if it needs to be. But. caringly, reflect on how? How do you embody 233 00:40:15.330 --> 00:40:26.360 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): already some of these qualities? Maybe not to the same extent, maybe not in the same way. But you already do have these qualities within you. 234 00:40:26.780 --> 00:40:32.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So we'll just take another minute or 2 to reflect on that in our own 235 00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.770 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): being in our own lives. 236 00:40:35.620 --> 00:40:39.620 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So I'll give a a concrete example. 237 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:48.330 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): just in case it's not clear. But I was thinking about one of my teachers has a really great sense of humor. 238 00:40:48.330 --> 00:41:15.159 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and it's really funny and kind of sharp wooded, and I am not quick with it, like I'm not the person that thinks that there's already come back right away. But I have this quality of humor about me like I like to laugh, and so I'm kind of that like in. Stand up. I'm like that. I don't know what they call them the fall guy. That's not the right word, but like the the partner that helps people laugh because they're kind of like, oh, that's really funny. And 239 00:41:16.300 --> 00:41:37.949 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and so I do have a quality of humor, a sense of humor. And and that is one of the tools that helps me develop my spiritual kind of toolkit, because even in the hardest moments like, you know, right in there, when things are not going, how I want them to go, or really challenging. 240 00:41:38.420 --> 00:41:56.009 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I can sometimes access that sense of humor, of like, okay, well, at least it's not this, or you know something that gives me sol. This, and also enables me to like, go from really bound up to a bit more space, and thinking clearly and solving problems. 241 00:41:56.640 --> 00:42:10.129 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's such a weird analogy, I just want to say, because the names for that character are probably all just off. But I'm like the comedic 242 00:42:10.190 --> 00:42:16.789 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): partner, the comedic assistant, and a really good at that role, you know. 243 00:42:16.930 --> 00:42:21.240 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and so that that is a way that that quality that I recognize. 244 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:32.479 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and one of my teachers, although differently, it shows up in me as a spiritual tool, part of my spiritual toolkit. So that's an example. Hopefully. That's helpful. 245 00:42:33.240 --> 00:42:35.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to start thinking about 246 00:42:35.160 --> 00:42:47.330 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the qualities that you see in yourself, and let's take a little time to write, and then we'll talk in a moment, and please feel free to write in the chat in your journal, or anywhere that you would like, or just reflect. 247 00:44:39.490 --> 00:44:45.769 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): taking a minute or so more to finish up your thoughts, and you can always come back around. 248 00:44:45.780 --> 00:44:59.799 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And you know, if you're like, well, I really don't see how I have this quality. Yet you can think about how you might want to grow in that quality, since it's important to you, because it's a quality that you noticed, and in a teacher of yours. 249 00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:06.170 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): like one of the things I wrote was Greece. and 250 00:45:06.830 --> 00:45:13.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm still contemplating on that what I embody it. And then And then 251 00:45:14.040 --> 00:45:15.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it's also something that 252 00:45:16.050 --> 00:45:21.669 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): yeah. And then reflection on on how how I might continue to cultivate it. 253 00:45:23.550 --> 00:45:30.339 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And I'd love to invite folks now into the community right like sometimes, by sharing 254 00:45:30.590 --> 00:45:44.749 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): one. There's something that you have been reflecting on, where it might be kind of chewing on or thinking about, that someone else needs to hear. And also, when we share these things out loud, it's really impactful 255 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:56.329 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): kind of speaks it into being even more. And so invitation to put your reflections in the chat or unmute, and I'd love to invite him 256 00:45:56.450 --> 00:46:00.519 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): some community conversation. Sarah says 257 00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:23.259 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'm struck by how the list of qualities are so personal to me and my journey. it might be totally different from the qualities that are meaningful or important to someone else. Yes, yeah. And I'm curious if you have like an example, you know, of a quality or of of something that feels like a quality that feels really unique to you. 258 00:46:23.390 --> 00:46:26.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it is. It's so amazing, right? Like what 259 00:46:27.330 --> 00:46:38.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): encompasses spiritual growth in teaching to sadness is going to be really different from others, and then invitation for anyone who would like to share in the chat or out loud. 260 00:46:59.700 --> 00:47:02.620 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, Amanda, love to hear from you. 261 00:47:04.520 --> 00:47:06.860 Amanda Halls: Hello! 262 00:47:07.220 --> 00:47:17.310 Amanda Halls: So one of the things that I've really kind of struggled with recently. was the fact that I was a teacher. 263 00:47:17.620 --> 00:47:27.150 Amanda Halls: like, physically, I worked at a college and academics and I'm also instructor. And when I became sick 264 00:47:27.220 --> 00:47:38.799 Amanda Halls: my ability to teach was taken away from me because I became physically disabled, and I ended up having to leave my job. And so I struggled with how 265 00:47:38.900 --> 00:47:59.169 Amanda Halls: and who I am now that my audience to say, to teach was gone, and my ability to transport that wisdom, and I often had meditation, and Tyron used to come to me. The the boatman on the river sticks the transporter. 266 00:47:59.420 --> 00:48:15.020 Amanda Halls: Yes, and so It kind of. When we were talking just now. I always used to say that I'm like, Chiron. I'm on the boat. I'm traveling right. I'm traveling back and forth, back and forth. And what I realized 267 00:48:15.350 --> 00:48:20.269 Amanda Halls: through this practice we just did is that I am a a transporter of wisdom 268 00:48:20.580 --> 00:48:30.710 Amanda Halls: it doesn't necessarily need. It's not like I need to teach a subject in particularly. It's that all the people and all of the teachers I've had. 269 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:45.809 Amanda Halls: I transport their wisdom through my own personal experience. So it's not something unique to me. I if you, if I'm having a hard time thinking Grace, like you were just saying it. Not graceful. 270 00:48:45.830 --> 00:48:52.290 Amanda Halls: but it's more. Can you transport Grace through your own personal experience? 271 00:48:52.620 --> 00:49:01.560 Amanda Halls: So on your end it might not come out as race, but it started as grace the influence. So if you imagine the teaching coming through your back 272 00:49:01.680 --> 00:49:08.740 Amanda Halls: and getting colored by your own experience, and when it comes out of you, it might not come out as race, it might come out as peace. 273 00:49:08.980 --> 00:49:11.119 Amanda Halls: But how it started 274 00:49:11.150 --> 00:49:15.340 Amanda Halls: and how it ends is how you color the experience for someone else. 275 00:49:15.570 --> 00:49:21.689 Amanda Halls: So we're all just sort of transporting the wisdom through our own personal filter. 276 00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:38.500 Amanda Halls: That's how I thought of it. It's beautiful. Thank you so much for that 277 00:49:38.540 --> 00:49:44.170 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): as well, I also just want to reflect that I was on a retreat recently. 278 00:49:44.590 --> 00:49:47.379 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and it was a retreat for families. 279 00:49:47.450 --> 00:49:58.770 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and there were some space holders, not myself. I was there with my kiddo. So I was a parent, this faceholder. I wasn't working the retreat directly, you know, just working as a parent, and 280 00:49:59.160 --> 00:50:10.380 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): one of the space holders had something happen. Health wise where, you know they really couldn't like. Do all the things run around, get all the logistics. 281 00:50:10.470 --> 00:50:15.359 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And what was reflected to them by the parents, the kids, and the other 282 00:50:15.460 --> 00:50:39.150 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): facilitators was, your practice. Is your gift right? Your practice is your holding space. And it was so beautiful to see the community receive and then give, and then also really continue to feel this, this facilitator leading in how they were taking care of themselves. So just. 283 00:50:39.910 --> 00:50:42.160 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): reminded me of 284 00:50:42.590 --> 00:50:57.919 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): how we can also be that person or being that gives others permission to transmit these leadership qualities in the ways that are appropriate for us in in that time or season of our lives or moments, and and it changes 285 00:50:58.010 --> 00:51:15.999 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And so I'm not being attached to, you know, to exactly what I can really, as a teacher, a a former, you know, high school, elementary school teacher as well. I don't know what kind of teaching you were doing, but I was very attached to my title and my role. 286 00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:18.740 Yeah. 287 00:51:19.810 --> 00:51:21.190 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thank you. Amanda. 288 00:51:22.990 --> 00:51:24.580 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, Collie. 289 00:51:26.200 --> 00:51:49.689 kahlialspaugh: Hi, everyone I'm sitting in my first space and like months, and it's so exciting. And I just pull the card while we were speaking on this, and I wanted to share it with you all, because it is the shaman card which is about teachers. And this is what it looks like, and just the one sentence I think I want to share most. 290 00:51:50.440 --> 00:52:09.850 kahlialspaugh: is that this card reminds us that the force of healing is ultimately not our own. We must shape it and share it with the world, which is so much like what you just said, which is, you know, your teaching is colored by your own experience and brought forth in its own way. So that's just so beautiful. How it's all connected, and it feels like it. 291 00:52:09.920 --> 00:52:13.129 kahlialspaugh: bridge to the gap. So thank you for all of that. 292 00:52:16.210 --> 00:52:21.779 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you so much, Kelly. And wow! What a card! Yes. 293 00:52:22.640 --> 00:52:36.080 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that! It's really beautiful. Megan. I see you wrote a major quality that is sticking out about many of my teachers is in a tum it to the moment, and what it calls for. 294 00:52:36.480 --> 00:52:43.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, a willingness to move with the energy of the space of a space, and the people gathered together. 295 00:52:44.480 --> 00:52:57.970 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's such a skill. It's a skill that I feel like we can learn over and over and over, and be in deeper and deeper practice of like that, a tuning, and one of the kind of piece 296 00:52:58.050 --> 00:53:01.730 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): like tools in my tool belt I feel like, for that is 297 00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:09.350 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that of a pot, and sometimes the pause is like, have a plan, especially as a facilitator and a teacher. 298 00:53:10.500 --> 00:53:14.829 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to just take a breath and say, Is there something in the 299 00:53:15.270 --> 00:53:17.209 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): space in the circle that 300 00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:27.810 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that's there that needs to be talked about? Kind of like I did at the beginning before going into the meditation. because it's possible that we would have had 301 00:53:27.910 --> 00:53:45.879 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a 45 min conversation around Yoga ethics and a much shorter practice, and that would have been beautiful, and what was needed, and that this feels for me like an example where I was like. I think I did that relatively. There's some grace gracefully. 302 00:53:45.880 --> 00:54:02.710 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And there's moments where I've totally not been graceful. You know, where someone else had to say, hey, something just happen. Can we pause, you know, and and my hope as a facilitator is that I'm aware enough to try to bring that pause to the group. 303 00:54:02.870 --> 00:54:05.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): But I don't always get it right. And sometimes 304 00:54:06.260 --> 00:54:19.580 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we, as participants are the ones or are are when we're leading our participants, either. Once you say, Oh, wait. You know something happened. I I want us to pause on this and and talk about this. 305 00:54:19.910 --> 00:54:21.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and 306 00:54:21.310 --> 00:54:48.220 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): being the kind of teacher that can, and spaceholder and leader that can turn into that rather than like, put up a wall and act like I know everything, or like I have all under control whatever that even means right has been one of the greatest learnings for me that I feel like I'm still really in that learning. so thank you, Megan, that's just kind of what your share made me reflect on 307 00:54:48.530 --> 00:54:58.639 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): anyone else. Probably have space for one more share in the chat or out loud in the chat as many as you would like. 308 00:55:13.630 --> 00:55:15.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'd love to 309 00:55:15.680 --> 00:55:22.889 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): invite us to just like tune in, because sometimes, again, I'm thinking of that pause and the space. 310 00:55:22.930 --> 00:55:40.600 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Is there a nugget of Aha, or wisdom that came from the meditation that came from your teachers that came from something a participant shared, or I shared, or that is in the chat that you can, that you're going to anchor in and take with you. 311 00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:46.710 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Maybe, if not, you know, it could be a quality again, an invitation to. 312 00:55:48.050 --> 00:56:01.260 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): as you reflect on that, to make sure that you either take your flame, your candle, and place it somewhere safe, like on your altar, or if it's time to close together 313 00:56:01.810 --> 00:56:03.160 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to 314 00:56:03.430 --> 00:56:15.380 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): blow out the candle flame, knowing that the light continues. And so there's a few ways you could do this, you can blow it, or you can swipe your hands, bringing the energy in the essence 315 00:56:15.400 --> 00:56:17.349 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): of the flame towards you 316 00:56:17.510 --> 00:56:28.610 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and so you might use your hand, or you might use a book or something, just to bring that energy towards you, and I just did it towards myself. 317 00:56:29.230 --> 00:56:36.800 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to. You can do that for yourselves. And I'm gonna send it to you as well 318 00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:51.530 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Andrea, i'm coming home to myself and making space for others to 319 00:56:51.880 --> 00:56:59.540 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): my daily practice isn't the same every day, but I do have a strong devotional practice. Yes, Susan 320 00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:10.070 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): done. My teachers have guided me to more, more wisdom, more subtle movement, more awareness, more just being here. Yes. 321 00:57:10.210 --> 00:57:14.949 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thank you so much, and you can continue to drop your eyes in the tat. 322 00:57:15.200 --> 00:57:27.410 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and in a moment we can unmute and say goodbye to one another and to so much gratitude for this community and for practicing together. 323 00:57:28.180 --> 00:57:29.450 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And 324 00:57:29.490 --> 00:57:43.660 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): yeah, for for your commitment to these values to living and embodying, you know, G values. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you much gratitude. You could send me and say goodbye if you would like. 325 00:57:45.330 --> 00:57:46.860 Robin Duke: Goodbye. 326 00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:54.620 Estela Domingo Torres-ella/she/her: Thank you. 327 00:57:55.380 --> 00:57:56.980 Amanda Halls: See you later. 328 00:57:58.650 --> 00:57:59.760 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I 329 00:58:00.790 --> 00:58:08.169 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I think this is the last session for many of us. We have an extra month 330 00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:29.900 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): getting a bonus. Actually, I thought about that. I think I didn't see that. Okay, perfect. Yeah, I'll make sure to send that out. Yes, you all have another month. Well, we're we. Yes, so we will be together one more time. Wonderful. So, thanks. Yeah. Bye, bye.
