Our start
Fascinating, this start with 9 women who didn’t know each other before, and after a few hours we feel connected as if we knew each other since a long time.
We started with dancing to be present in our bodies, we went into silence without anybody saying to do it, and we had a moving, deep and inspiring check-in. One of ‘our’ words that came up: edgy stuff.
We did a harvest right after we heard all the stories of what was present to us, and some themes already came up.
There was fascination about how quick we had been able in establishing this intimate field. We realised that the more we bring ourselves on the edge in a group, it becomes quicker and faster for other groups to do it too. Maybe to come together intentionally as women we can birth a bigger, better and healthier field!
Another line: the whole thing is about being in the process; we get it and then we loose it again. But the process in itself is empowering and we can enjoy the search, because there is no fixed destination.
Somebody spoke about death and rebirth; and the full moon meditation we did in the evening had this as main theme too. Death is part of life, and can be a door to a deeper wisdom.
What lit up in listening to all the stories was the quality of needing each other. Marianne said: “Aloneness, or singularity, is essential in this field. Without that there is no meeting, no touching possible.” This struck me really deep. I saw in an instant that I need the collective to be able to go deeper in myself, to become more me; not in the personality-sense but as in a deeper dying of the ego.
After the full moon meditation Judy sent us to bed with a question, related to the moon eclips: “What is it in us, that is behind the shadow, that wants to emerge?”
