Reflections from past Gatherings

"I’ve learned how community can be resilient by weaving connections -- learning from each other."

"The talents we possess are what bind us together into community for the betterment of all."

"I will reflect on how I contribute to projects and have more consideration for the ways others think and operate."

"I learned that I am really craving community in the bigger sense of the word."

Community is a dance between individuals and the community as a whole.  

The practices guide you through the dance.

 

Here's the flow for each Gathering:

  • Experience the practice . . . fully
  • Bio break + personal reflection time
  • Small group sharing
  • Guidance on applying the practice
  • Handout on the practice to share with others

Does your community struggle to get on the same page?

The problem lies in the fact that each person is simply focused on 'making their case'. Convincing others. As opposed to listening to all points of view so that the group gains a more realistic view of reality. This practice immediately engages people and let's them see all the gifts that are required for a truly co-creative process. When people understand their own gifts and talents, it increases their ability to listen closely to others. They realize that each person has special insights to share.

Are you exhausted by the daily chaos?

Fortunately for us, there's a way to get grounded and balanced even in today's environment. The answer lies in knowing the unique message each emotion brings . . . what emotions are trying to tell us about our circumstances. When properly understood, we realize all emotions are essential for our health and well-being. They are warning signs telling us what needs our special attention.

What's influencing your decisions? 

Where are your decisions taking you?

Often we think that small decisions don't matter.  But over time, each choice makes a huge impact on your life's circumstances. Learn how to bring greater consciousness to your choices so that they bring you towards your highest calling.

Have you ever paid a high price for jumping to a conclusion?

As human beings, we tend to believe that everything that happens to us, is about us. The reality is that many things that happen to us have nothing to do with us at all. Someone 'ignores' us and we begin making up a story about why. And in the worst case scenario, we act upon our unfounded assumption. Making matters worse when we discover the person was simply preoccupied with something else.
