Once upon a time, I was a happy-go-lucky artistic girl with lots of defense mechanisms underneath the surface, lots of fears and so many questions. I was on a path towards union and a body that was conditioned to understand and feel.
At exactly the right moment, Taha Hassouna founder OF MESHKAH crossed my path, being a friend of a friend. I was introduced to his practise and I started learning with him in 2016. Around 2018, he started the full-time school, I was extremely infected by this love for Chinese marshal and internal arts. I found out that all the training I had been doing in my life was for this moment. So, I signed up for the full-time after a couple of years getting more and more obsessed with these traditional systems, the duration of the program was not specified yet.
A year later, I was called to go to Wudang and meet another very dear teacher. Then my own hero's journey unfolded, ONLY to bring me back to where I started with my first dear teacher and elder Gong Fu brother. Through training, I feel one with myself and all that's around me. I feel that this is home. This training! This intention! this witnessing and flowing with life force, ohhhhh and the taming of desire and rekindling of willpower! Only poetry would come out of this learning.
Through a few years of solitude, I am destined to taste the effect of the group, smell the beautiful nuances of true harmony and grasp the solidity of meaningful perseverance. I have not "graduated" from any place because I don't intend to, that's my own little quirky thing, and I like to stay true to my nature!
However the true meaning I find in this is that, I remain to be a student, sharing what I learn as I go, forever grateful for my teacher, all my teachers and their teachers, and their teachers :)
MESHKAH remains to be a place where I find myself returning home, which is within. And another round of learning with Taha always fills my heart with pure Joy. 9 years now!
