I got a little teary-eyed watching these. Halcyon’s gifting talk was pure wisdom. I was already excited to be on the Playa… these vids sent that excitement through the roof!

I’m happy that Halcyon explained about gifting. I had been wondering about that and after listening to him I now have a clear understanding of what gifting means, not only on the playa but in our day to day lives as well. Thank you so much. <3
