Sex, Light Addicts and Riding Dragons is actually my second comedic satsang (a satsang is talk given for the purpose of evoking spiritual awakening). I wrote and performed my first comedic satsang at the end of a five year relationship. I wanted to find a way to channel my anger, grief and confusion in the letting-go process with the hope of not only fully embracing my experience, but sharing the humor and transformational journey with others. Unfortunately, I did not record it, not knowing if people would laugh or think I was insane. That night I received a standing ovation from a hundred some crowd. Vulnerability is exciting, both in the exposing and the witnessing of. Not only did people laugh, they let go of self doubt and judgment, and in that relaxation there was more room for new life to flow through.
The buzzing on the streets created demand for another show. I wrote and performed Sex, Light Addicts & Riding Dragons a year later. Like its title, my second comedic satsang has to do with our addiction to enlightenment, our fear of the shadow, and how even those things that are “good” for us can keep us stuck in our lives. One of the most feared shadows in humanity is around desire, which has caused both suppression and exploitation of our sexuality. My hope is to free desire from the chains of guilt, lack and need and return it to the innocence of divine inspiration (de-sire meaning of-the Father). One of the lines in the show says it best, “I’m on a mission to free the step-child of Love and reunite the g-spot below with the one above.”
