Homeward Bound with Michael Schabort
Today our guest is South African born Michael Schabort, an indubitable ‘child of the wind.’
Michael is an interesting person, who ever so naturally goes with the flow. Someone who floats through space and time like a salmon swimming up river. There are bears. There are female salmon. But there is also the journey home. And the journey for the sake of journeying itself.
We had the sense of speaking to someone with that beautiful combination of both water and air, a unique balance of a kapha-vata constitution, in Ayurvedic terms. So often embodying the qualities of air and space, but measured with a slow, watery quality that keeps them moving, sliding in and out of locations, spaces, and postures. This constitution lends itself to a soft, supple body and sweet disposition.
Boundless open space is where Michael prefers to live. Not getting caught in a trap, like a category or a name, is of utmost importance to him. The Sanskrit term “parampara” is about sitting next to someone and receiving their transmission. Not unlike the Sanskrit word “Upanishad,” which is composed from the roots meaning “nearness” and “to sit.” This is how we learn. By feeling. By sitting near to someone. And, we believe you will get the feel of Michael by sitting next to him today, and listening. That this, by itself, can transform your consciousness in some unspeakably profound way. We trust that you are in good hands here today.
