Start of Women Moving the Edge 4
After a day of preparation with Judy on Thursday we started yesterday afternoon with the fourth gathering called Women Moving the Edge. Subtitle is: of Collective Presencing.
What is preparation for an emergent gathering? It is not about design, because all you can see, all you can know is the first step. It is about building the field between the partners in the hosting team. What does that mean? I notice that I am only satisfied, or have a feeling that the work is done, when we have come to a point of newness, a point where we could raise a new question, a point where we could share a little deeper than ever before. It is about going deeper into what is possible and let unfold the next bit of it, into the manifest. All this is guided by the question: What is next? What is our edge now?
So we started with three participants. Actually four, but one lady was distracted by something in her private life which made that she was late, and after dinner decided to go home again.
We started in our default way: dancing, moving, doing what was needed to bring yourself present in the room and in the gathering. Then, with the check-in, we plunged right deep into it! Our guiding questions were very simple: What brought you here? and What is your edge now? What a richness in the sharing and in the questions raised! After the check-in Judy and I looked at each other: How did this happen? Do we have anything to do with this???
The first words that appeared on the flipchart were Surrender and Power: how do they relate? Next was: moving from Being Loved to Being Love. Here are some more snippets:
Asking is setting an intention; is setting up a resonant field where the One – or Source – can come through. It is the intention that activates; and we can be ongoing open to that.
The metaphor of the mycellium showed up again: this deeper, highly sensitive and highly connected system of knowing.
Is it difficult to love?
How do we manifest our future potential? Manifesting from Source is being aware of the connections. Is this hard?
Our mycellium is sick; we have to find a way to create a healthy underbelly. Later someone said: not the mycellium is sick, but my ability to engage with it is sick!
Being love is a state of relationship without judgment. It is a free flow of energy, with no resistance, no needing to know. The potential for love is always there. We are always connected!
Can we put our truth out? Do we dare to tip over the edge? More will follow!
