I traveled to Racine, Wisconsin recently to complete my professional level training in Maya Abdominal Therapy. Wisconsin was more exciting than it might sound – the training was held at Racine College campus, which is a 150 year old college built on the shore of Lake Michigan. The sun rises early and bright!
I had not been sure who I would meet there – this training is not open only to massage therapists, but any ‘professional’ – midwives, nurses, obstetricians, psychiatrists, young women, older women, hippies? And it was a beautiful blend of them all, and I felt that I was exactly in the right place at the right time, just like when I landed in school to study Ayurveda.
We spent the first night clearing our classroom and our sleeping spaces with burning copal, an incense from Belize, and a tree sap much like Frankincense. We also set the fire alarm off, exciting the caretaker to our witch-y ways.
