An improv class unexpectedly deepened my meditation practice by teaching me how to let go, be present, and embrace creative flow—on stage and in life.

We have forgotten how to love and be loved, because love has become such a complicated matter. Many end up spending their life chasing the idea of love while putting up barriers to protect themselves from the pain of losing love.

During each occurrence, I found myself in a deep state of bliss, enveloped in an indescribable feeling of love, and crying tears of joy uncontrollably. I felt it from deep within, but also from above and around me.

Having a little sanctuary to retreat to provides a sacred space and sets the tone for all mindful practices. No need to relocate to the high mountains or a remote island to feel peace and higher connections.
