Here is the UFIT team entering the arena for the Charlottetown Relay for Life. UFIT won the best Team Spirit award and raise $14,000 - yes $14,000 dollars for Cancer research.
So combining Summerside and Charlottetown UFIT raised $20,000.
UFIT is not as you can see just an exercise class - though it is one. It is Trusted Space in Action where
- The isolated individual
- Finds acceptance
- And so finds themselves
- And so can offer acceptance to others
- And so finds their larger self
- And so can then do great things for others and for self
- And so becomes fully human - a combination of frail and strong
- And so finds joy
I love this moment from Joseph Campbell
....... we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the heropath. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the centre of our existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."
