New workout results, new teaching style
Dec. 6th, 2009 10:36 pm1. I'm really enjoying the gym, and I'm starting to get that muscular lope back into my walk. I can't really explain it: it's the feel of awakening muscles flowing into a slow, powerful glide.
This vow of going to the gym 5 times a week allows me to do a moderate amount of work each day without killing myself or taking up too much time during any one session. It also keeps my momentum going.
2. I've started teaching a one-on-one distance learning course for a non-Blue Star ritual facilitator. She's very experienced, and has asked me to mentor her, teaching her my approach. The inter-tradition context of our work means that we aren't covering the standard Blue Star liturgy, which I love, but which takes *at least* a year to explore well up front. Since she is interested in my approach to Priesting and ministry rather than the Blue Star context in which they're embedded, I'm constructing an entirely new curriculum.

I think this model of teaching and working together rocks. It's a good hybrid of classic in-person training and online education. It wouldn't work nearly as well with an inexperienced ritualist/Priestess or someone without a home group, nor is it a substitute for training in a tradition. But as a supplement/master class across tradition lines, it works beautifully.
I also love the way it makes room for family, work and additional projects. I'm not going to be happy with a life that revolves mostly around one thing, so I need to adapt each major interest to my multi-faceted path. So far, this approach is a good fit.
