Collective Presencing book site
Little history
The idea for a gathering of women came into being after we had the experience of Moving the Edge in March 2006 in Denmark.
The gathering, early March '07 in Belgium, was deeply inspiring and exceptional! You can read the whole story on my blog, and a reflection afterwards on Helen's blog and you can look at the pictures, who tell the same story.
The second time it happened in the US, October 2007. The harvest of this gathering can also be found on my blog. The next European gathering was held early Febr.'08, the fourth gathering was held 14 till 17 November '08, in the US. All harvest is now put together here
Below the short version of the invitation of our fifth gathering, with a link to download the full invitation and the registration form. Please note the early bird rate till December 31!!
When we fully name, claim and live as the feminine,
individually and collectively,
in service of the whole,
what becomes possible in our world?
We are convening women to move the edge in order to collectively inquire into this question from the presence of source.
Women participating in this programme are invited to come to a place of Open Mind (where we are open and invite in new ideas and non-verbal ways of knowing), Open Heart (where we acknowledge, respect and love ourselves and each other as who we are) and Open Will (where we are aligned with our deepest essence, Soul or Source).
From this quality of individual alignment, coherence or resonance, we share with each other in the circle, through verbal and non-verbal means. This culminates in a collective field of attention, a holding space that we connect with our guiding question. When our intention is to serve evolution and we act and speak from source then real emergence can happen.
This programme is an iterative process, with each iteration this will be the fifth - building on the ones before. Each time the process happens faster, but none of its steps can be skipped. Acting and speaking 'from Source' is not easily described its something you have to experience.
You can find descriptions of the journey so far here.
Wholenss of Knowing
With every programme we realise more deeply that we can know so much more when engaging all our senses. We invite all arts and forms of subtle knowing. Bring your talents and any materials you/we need!
Collective Presencing
Presencing means multi-tasking:
You are a participant in the unfolding process.
You are an observer of the place where your actions and ideas come from.
You are tuned in to the collective field that you are engaged in.
You are a leader of the process, like all other participants.
Intergenerational
If we are to be of real service in this complex world with its huge challenges, we need the synergy of the fluid, action oriented energy of the younger generations and the holding and grounding energy of the older ones. We invite all participants to look beyond their own generation and invite 'the others' in. As the organising team we will make extra efforts to invite in young women, wise women as we are.
This programme offers you:
a deep ground for practice in being present and presencing
a rare experience of collective presencing
an opportunity to contribute to this inquiry in service of evolution
Your hosting team
We do not facilitate, rather we host this collective, emergent process. We do this
by engaging ourselves fully in the collective presencing. Our intention is for emergence to happen and we apply our mastery wherever needed and useful.
