Weekly gatherings... a bit scattered...

It's 2 months in and we seem to have hit a wall... With what has felt perhaps like one member of a 4 strong team shouldering the main weight of responsibility in our journey, plus a time in our 2022 when we've been unable to prioritize the very thing we seek to protect, that being time of quality to ReTReAT - Reclaim Time for Research and Transformation... this team sees one member needing to step back, at the same time as another begins to find her footing and all four ask for time to just listen. The question emerges from the crisis moment - If we lean in to what's happening right now, what do we perceive? What do we see? And what's actually possible? I see overload, I perceive closing that's allowing for opening... I welcome the discomfort...

The result of todays weekly meeting, which took so many attempts to achieve and had only a 75% rate of success if success is measured by online connection... is that we're still interested in leaning in... although the levels of engagement may vary... 

We're presencing... What if the problems we face are the very problems we aim to help others navigate... what if this moment is helpful in preparing us to be in discomfort, to care for ourselves and be able to guide others... 

The U theory framework we all subscribe to is helping us to sit with what is, to open up our perception, and so for now we will gather again next week... and we will just be present to what is... and then after that connect with what might be possible...

We finish the meeting 100% satisfied that we did indeed connect 😉, that we were indeed present for each other...
