Form & Flow

Omni is a state that both encompasses and transcends duality. Relationship with self and relationship with other is process. Omni is the result of process. We can allow ourselves to not answer questions that intend to reinforce duality. Identity is an extension of something deeper. Romance what is deeper behind our identities. Identities are tools. Tools should be useful. When they are not useful, allow space. The most most basic level of creating is playing with how we relate to the world. Start in not knowing. Then, develop a relationship by establishing a sense of curiosity, possibility, and understanding. What else is a classroom other than the gathering of the curious? Most people don't understand that many queer people don't have experience being queer. It's a process. Ballroom evolved as a space of exploring what it means to be queer and how to embody masculine and feminine energies. How can we be a student of the female experience? The feminine understands intimacy in a different way than the masculine. There is a lot of healing to be done around the way we express and experience intimacy. Surrender as an access point to the feminine. Surrender leads us to where the deepest part of us wants to be. The outcome is not the process, the surrender is the process.

Life is lived forward but made sense of backwards. Host Samuel James Queen and guest Anna Cassedy O'Neill go on a deep dive into their rollercoaster relationship. True growth starts with taking radical responsibility for the way we show up in life and in partnership. Anytime we point a finger at someone else, we have three fingers pointing back at ourselves. Sometimes triggers are indicators of potential for growth. Sam and Cass discuss what energies they brought into partnership and how that effected their harmony. What happens when two beings who are embodying flow energy come together? How do we find balance within ourselves and within partnership? Curiosity has the power to break through the deafening silence of being on the autopilot of expectations.

In duality, the feminine is yumminess, giving & receiving, and a deep pain body, while the masculine protects space for the feminine to bloom, though sometimes too heady and restrictive. In the heart of our beings, there is no separation. Dancing with the polarities can be an adventure. We have the full range of energy available to us in any moment and sometimes the moment itself asks us to step into one energy more than the other. True intimacy lies in deep surrender.
