On Saturday morning, we met as a large group, and then in smaller groups - caf� style. We listened to each other speak about what is happening in our communities, and started to trace some key themes. The Word Cloud above will give you a sense of the richness of our conversation. Many participants have reported that their experiences on the weekend have already sparked new possibilities in their work back home, and we hope these folks will get around to writing about this in future Newsletters! Here are some highlights from the morning proceedings:
♦ Change your own language by listening into the other's persons language ♦ If everyone achieves a living experience, it unifies ♦ Learning by going deeper ♦ Inner language translates into common language ♦ Helping to grow ♦ Beyond the non-Pentecostal language ♦ Bringing perceptions to characterize - not define ♦ "Do the work yourself" (Ben Aharon) ♦ Rhythms of Year affecting feeling, thinking in world ♦ What will happen to our group as we cross threshold? ♦ Cultivation of 'Threshold Culture' of Death and Dying ♦ How can the 'I' manage in technological culture ♦ Content has become what lives in other♦ Engaged: looking to deepen and enliven ♦ Fall sessions centred around provocative statements by Steiner ♦ possible future conference illuminating human-cosmos, cosmos-human.♦
These conversations are just a (new!) beginning - and of course bring many questions. As Micah says in the lead article, "living with the right question is not easy, but what we receive from living with the question is nothing less than a gift from the gods."
