Arriving…
Judy and I arrived today at noon at Angels Rest; a beautiful place with a beautiful name. You can feel, sense and see the care that has been used to create this place. We have our gathering in a huge space, which was probably a barn in former years. There is a very big window facing south-east with a splendid view.
I was amased by the richness and the depth of what was said in our first circle. The introduction was really minimal: half hour of movement and dance to become present in our bodies; followed by a welcome word and a little introduction into the gathering and about circle practice.
In this first afternoon we also shared the questions we all brought to the circle. Here they are as an example of the richness of the field that was gathered:
How can we deepen our sense of collectivity and honor difference?
How do we hang out in messiness and let it be OK?
What is the omnicentric leadership? How can we do that?
How can we be with wholeness, let go of control?
How can we be consciously in the world with the future emerging through us?
How can we let life happen and not be in the way?
What are the deep assumptions that we hold about ownership?
What is feminine warriorship?
How can we integrate the life enriching energies that lie in both ownership/entrepreneurial ventures and community initiatives?
Such a richness, competence and passion is gathered here!
Do we really see that? Are we conscious about what this could create? I truly doubt it… but I trust life and I fully trust the process. I think some magic will happen.
Part of the magic are three crystal bowls, brought by different participants, which make the most amazing, resonant sounds… I wish you could hear them…
