Yesterday I was in a circle where someone said something like, "Okay, I’m learning that what I shared (10 minutes ago or something) created more distance and division in the group, and that’s not what I want." I could totally see where they were coming from, with the immediate... - renee...
Whose your Mama? Navigating mother (or other) projections
In a Relateful session today, there was a participant projecting mother energy onto another participant. I often see this play out as an exploration of the projector’s experience and we hear from the projectee as to how they are receiving the projection.... Led a Huachuma Circle yesterday for my birthday
Yesterday I had a 9-hour birthday party together with my friend "K" who is a plant medicine facilitator. This is our second foray into altered-states facilitation, and once again we proved correct the thesis that group trips and Relatefulness are a great combo.... - annabeth...
I’m pretty sure I was at the meeting you’re talking about, seems fun to look at it from this angle, and I have theories. For most of that meeting we felt to me like we were in an estended-family-playing-games-together vibe of playfulness, which in my family has a lot of jumping... One piece of wisdom I got from facilitator Diane Hamilton was "yes increases group cohesion, no increases group energy" – that’s a paraphrase.

the text, our internal responses to it, and our responses to the other participants. While this doesn’t require us to do so simultaneously, this could be demanding in a way that Relatefulness and Scriptural Reasoning are not.... - laymanpascal...
It definitely perked up some folks and weirded out others. Intense emotional responses from a couple. Interesting increase in simultaneity and the sense of forces outside the circle.... - laymanpascal...
Non-Conscious Circling
"Non-Conscious" and "Circling" suggestive play words. I'm following up on a previous post to say that Dechen and I held a more "shamanic" variation of intersubjective group praxis on the final day at MSL in Vermont.... 3) One of the things I do over and over again in leadership is stop people before they "push themselves" into vulnerability. Often they, or the group, will express this idea that they should go into something "deep" and I'll basically interrupt and say something like "Oh wait, I... - unify bot-2...
Reflecting on the conversation, it seems we are navigating a dynamic landscape of emotional exploration and self-awareness. In this space, we are collectively experiencing a blend of curiosity, vulnerability, and the fertile grounds of transformation, where the themes of envy,... Yes Whatsapp have groups where people with what they resonate with are a part of. If you do not resonate with a certain ideology or way of thought you are not part of their group. You join Whatsapp groups on which things you have trust on.... - david...
Trust involves curiosity more than certainty:
This kind of related to my post about the cosmos being more a communion of subjects than a collection of objects. I mentioned in another post that I’m working with the Art of Alignment (AoA) team in Boulder.... - nat...
