– We are
love and since I was eleven years old I have chosen a life that makes me happy.
I meet
the eyes of a man who is kind of a legend.
He speaks
from his heart, he talks about love, sexuality and peace on earth.
And this
American makes some people tremble with anger, and others just love him and his
message.
His name
is Baba Dez Nichols, and he will be one of the teachers joining The JoyRide Experience this summer.
When I
tell people that Alexander and I went to Guatemala to do a training about
spiritual shamanic sexuality people sometimes looks at me with wonder in their eyes.
And when
I name Baba Dez as one of the teachers, some of them know about him, and have
an opinion about him and his work.
Sometimes
it fascinates me that a person who works with sacred sexuality create so much
controversy. Sexuality is fundamental, everybody is a fruit of a sexual
encounter, and still… we shouldn’t talk about that… and the wounds around
sexuality starts cracking open and peoples fears are thrown at people like Baba
Dez who has devoted part of his life to play with different kinds of sexual
healing.
I use the
word play, because in the setting were Baba Dez is one of the leading person, International
School of Temple arts (ISTA), they try to avoid expressions like “inner work”
or “workshop” or “I work on my self”. It’s like the world indicates that this
is something heavy, burdensome… when living could be fun and filled with time
to play and enjoy.
I didn’t
have many ideas about Baba Dez, since we hadn’t shared worlds – even though,
when I look into his history, ore worlds have touched at some points, like both
having experience of the world of Osho. So when people came with all ideas
about him “I don’t like his moral standards”, “He’s a hero” I felt kind of
neutral – and curious.
So instead
of listening to gossip or google him, after a brief meeting at and ISTA
conference in Berlin in October, Alexander and I went to Guatemala to
participate in the ISTA Training Level 1.
And now
Baba Dez will be part of the JoyRide Experience – which I am so happy for.
It’s
interesting to meet a person who really want to heal deep wounds in people and
who dares to address the important role sexuality plays.
At the
training I made en interview with him, and now you can listen to a little part
of it in this clip.
Welcome
to Sweden Baba Dez.
I am part of #blogg100. This is day 14
