- Being SOULFUL is DIRTY. Soul work is dirty. It is not sterilized, sanitized spirituality.
- POOP: It's about FERTILITY. It's also about CONTROL.
- EVERYTHING is SACRED. POWER is NOT necessarily LOFTY.
Mystery is present in the lush, fertile spirals of Ireland. Soulful conversation flows between Lobsterbird and Maryanne Chaney as they sit upon thousands of blades of grass and are licked in the face by furry creatures. Above is a gorgeous sky of blue filled with fluffy, cotton clouds. And below? Who knows? Could be worms… bugs… poop? What does poop have to do with a state of grace, balanc-ing and spiraling up? Only everything. And how much are you willing to let go to find out? Leave us a Rating & Review!
Your Travelogue
- We are always seeking balance. But with grace, it's unseeable. It's that dance that happens in Nature, that tries to find balance. [3:46]
- Maryanne's ancestors were from Ireland, and she has visited many times. But this time was radically different... [6:20]
- Allowing for mystery… [11:11]
- It's so important for us these days to be out in Nature. We are affected so much by this constant vibration and wireless technology pulsing through us. And we take it like that's okay. But I'm really not sure it's that great for our nervous system. In fact, I know it isn't. When we get into Nature, we can go into a natural biorhythm. We can connect to the earth and then connect into our bodies, and we can become "natural" human beings, more efficient and more attuned human beings, able to care for each other and care for the earth. [12:51]
- You are corralled in a city. Controlled. There is a sterilization taking place. Sterilization is the opposite of poop - which is fertile. [16:06]
- Cue Poop! It's a new theatre production! lol Poop enters, stage left... [20:22]
- It's all a production, isn't it? ;) As a performer, what is the most graceful way to embody this performance called Life? With all of its challenges and all of its pressure... and poop? [21:21]
- Here lies the human condition, of always trying to attain balance. But it's like trying to attain perfection. Balance doesn't exist. There is always this wavering. There is always flux. [23:53]
- Instead of seeking balance, how about balanc-ing? Then it becomes a VERB, and it becomes this... The act of balancing vs finding a state. [46:44]
- Mother always farted loudly and expressively - FOL! Sophi became the opposite. But holding it in created super stink. And this became a metaphor… [29:00]
- Everything is sacred. If we can appreciate that... that IS a power. That is that balanc-ing of power. [33:23]
- Spiraling Up - feeling energy shift and change and open every day through gyrokinesis. [39:39]
- 40 Days to Spiral Up! What will happen if you do this for forty days? Well, let's get scientific and test a hypothesis… [45:15]
