Flow Temple in Los Angeles

Last night, after my grump fest, Jon and I went to a Flow Temple Party.  Dan, the organizer is a friend of Jon's from Thailand.  It was such an amazing experience.  Essentially, anyone who is an artist is invited to come and participate in the creative Flow.  Dancers, musicians, painters, sculptors, fire spinners, acrobats, photographers...  The purpose is to come together and allow the energy to move us all in creating.  It was fabulous, and last night was especially wonderful because some of the best Poi Spinners in the world came by.  The video you see below is of a fire dancer named Yuta, who hails from Japan, and has quite a following.  I am trying to find videos of last night on Youtube to share with others, and this one is the best so far.  You can actually see me in the background in the first half of this video! The last half of the video is at the end of the evening with the musicians left their instruments, and just let loose vocally.  So much fun!

I must say that this evening was the perfect remedy for how cranky I was feeling early in that day.  It was such an inspiration and energy rush to be in a room full of creative people celebrating each others art.  Most were performance artists, but there is room for all, as there are tables set up around the parameter of the space so artists can paint, sculpt, draw, etc while the music and the dancing is being performed.  I also got a chance to see Jon spin fire for the first time and it was quite frankly the sexiest thing I have ever seen.  No words...   :) I will be posting some of the photos I took last night on my Flickr stream in the upcoming days.  Stay tuned!

Update: Here is another fabulous video!
