The two actors sang us an enchanting melody while walking around us, creating a magical and hypnotic atmosphere. While they sang and walked around us, they placed a flower in our hands, hair or behind our ears. As we opened our eyes, the energy had shifted, and everyone was suddenly a lot more present and mindful of ourpresenceinthespacesurroundingus.
