Steph wrote this in 2013 and has "re-enacted" it here. Steph has written comic skits or poems that sum up what Shinzen taught or talked about at that retreat for 18 years. Usually and she will read it (with performance energy) for the talking circle on the last day.
(Usually at talking circles, people share their retreat experiences or thank the teacher, but in So. Cal - there are often performances - singing, playing instruments, reading something written.)
Steph's goal with these is to make everyone - especially Shinzen - laugh as she takes them through a review of the preceding 10 days.
Stay tuned for more of these that will be posted here - from Shinzen's retreats - and from the retreats of other teachers.
