I have led a few classes and meetings on Zoom. I am surprised by how much I like it. It is great to see each other. 


Often the quality of Zoom is quite good so you can really see the other people. We have found different ways to make it fun—for instance, the renaming function can create fun situations, and changing the background can be funny, too. We have been able to make real contact and in sessions reach for each other and discharge deeply.


In my country, due to the coronavirus, we are not allowed to touch other people at all, only people we live with. But as I live on my own [by myself], I haven’t touched anybody for two weeks now. No hugs, no holding hands, nothing. Yesterday in a session on Zoom I imagined hugging my counselor and I could cry deeply. I remembered what it has been like when we have hugged each other, and I thought about how hugging is a mutual action. Sometimes it is one person hugging the other, but most often we human beings hug each other. So beautiful.
