I can describe the process that I remember most intensely, though.
They call this guts work.
And it's because basically, you spill your guts.
There's a process about a half hour for each man.
You volunteer, and you go into the center of this rectangle that's taped onto the floor.
You know, the staff is there to assist you.
They ask you what's going on inside you.
You know, like, why are you here?
Like, what is the piece of inner work that you need to do?
Mine had to do with my relationship with my father, which had not been good.
And I don't remember specifically what it was, but what I do recall was the idea of him being dead.
And he wasn't dead at that point, but the idea of him being in the grave.
And was I ready to say goodbye to him?
Was I ready to make peace with him?
And I wasn't.
So a man was playing my father.
He's under a blanket in the grave.
They take me and they stick me under the blanket too.
So I'm in the grave with my father.
And I went completely passive.
