NARRATIVE

The theme of the boot camp was “The Tortoise and the Hare“. The goal for the Pax was to physically apply larger life themes of struggle, ease, and being fully present. The Tortoise represented times in our lives when we are stuck in the mundane drudgery of everyday life, just grinding it out. The Hare represented the ease of life when there are seasons that we get from point A to point B without much resistance and life is running smoothly. In between these themes, the Q inserted traditional exercises done very slowly to demonstrate the third theme of being fully present and not going through the motions.
