While I was at Anrachpaulco, I had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Derrick Broze. Before then, I had never heard of him. In the leaflet on the schedule it said: "The 7 Step Path of the Holistic Anarchist." I was interested and intrigued.
I had no idea it would encompass the seven Chakras. It was right up my alley! I have been working with energy to heal and doing some of my own Chakra work, incorporating other methods of healing that have helped me to create my own things. So this definitely is something that interests me and I am definitely going to look even more into.
Derrick Broze is a very eloquent speaker and what he said truly resonated with me. His main message, if it can be summed up in a few words, is that one must first heal the trauma within in order to contribute to a world without violence. I love healing! :D Of all the speakers, Derrick Broze's message is the one that resonates the most with me and where I am today.
After his speech, I met him in person and bought a T-shirt. The message on it screams of what I talk about in Green Healing.
"You are beautiful. You are powerful. You are free."
Now, THAT'S Beautiful.
Derrick is a very empathetic being. His vibration is calm, his demeanor inviting. I opened up about my journey and felt even more at ease to share it than usual. Connecting with others who have experienced trauma and found healing is always a unique experience and some of those I cherish a lot.
Frank and I also attended a sort of circle/conference/group meeting Derrick Broze was doing in his hotel room. It was like a therapy group. WE arrived a little late since we had Yoga before. Derrick was talking about some things from his books. Then he opened the floor to the rest of us (the maybe 15 or 12 of us) and we could share where we are at and where we feel stuck and seek advice from others, and also give advice to others. It was really pleasant. I was able to share so much, gain so much insight from others sharing and opening up. It was inspiring. I got so much advice too from so many wonderful people.
Something happened that I didn't expect. While I was sharing where I was at and how I got here, I mentioned obviously the work I've done on the anxiety and CPTSD and how thanks to the EFT I was able to go to Acapulco. Everyone clapped :o I SO was not expecting that. In that moment, I was not seeking validation, but I got something I'm not sure I can put a word to it. It was an acknowledgement of the work I've done to get here, and I guess I realised that yeah, wow, I got here! It sent warm shivers in me and I must admit I felt proud of myself in that moment. And a lot of gratitude towards everyone who gave great tips and advice. It was a lot of fun, to say the least.
What I got from that "council" was an amazing feeling and meeting and hearing Derrick Broze is definitely part of my top moments at Anarchapulco 2019.
