Morning practice

Check in 

Helen hosted us in a check in. We chose and shared photo cards to bring us in to our last day together.

Harvesting our learnings

In Triads, we took turns in answering these questions, the listener and observer reflecting back. Afterwards, we harvested together our collective insights and brought them back to the whole group and shared. (Our intention was to cluster into groups and headline with emerging questions, and it seemed the harvest didn’t need this, so we shared and harvested all insights. See below)
What are we learning about ourselves?
What are we learning about each other?
What purpose can our collective learning serve?
  • I am enough, we are enough
  • We ARE better together, rippling out
  • Vulnerability leads to authenticity
  • To ask for help is a kindness to yourself and others, because it allows them to be of service
  • Intentionality in the moment
  • Everything's a remix - meet Rosalina Peregrina :)
  • Surrender to the flow
  • Jump into the cloud that will support you. Leap into the cloud. Have faith the cloud will be there. The universal cloud - we’re all feeding and nurturing it - connection and strength
  • Vulnerability is a gift to others
  • Generosity of heart to be vulnerable, to share, to listen, and to offer
  • ‘This shit works’ - these practices provide opportunities for healing in every moment
  • Vulnerability breeds opportunity
  • The importance of receiving - allowing, willingness to receive; owning what you receive
  • Ask for what you need
  • The shadow is a resource
  • Isolation is, in the end, a choice
  • We have formed deep roots here. How do we keep the interconnections going? Zoom, Facebook Group, email …..
  • Power in deep connection; Owning the learning; Honour our journey; Freedom, energy, flow

Check out: What are you taking with you to offer to others?

  • Leaving things behind – was feeling broken. I’m taking away that vulnerability is a gift to others. To surrender to the flow
  • Clarity. Finding my way back from the edge
  • Connecting with the knowledge of others, the wonderful love and connection of people here. I’m taking this time and gifting it to others
  • I take a piece of everyone here with me. So many beautiful men. I’m in love with you all here. Taking intention. Taking hope and openness to the terror and the beauty
  • Clarity, a sense of recognition, joy – and John! ☺
  • Taking a greater presence and sense of availability, intention, purpose, and presence for myself and others
  • Thrown a rock into my own pond and collectively we’ve thrown a rock into the pond. Who knows where the ripples will go?
  • I’m not alone – a sense of connection and belonging. It’s courageous to be vulnerable
  • The law of CSI – if you’ve been there, you’ll leave something behind. Your fingerprints are all over me!
  • Hands – physical assistance. Head – knowledge and skills. Heart – is just so full to be so comfortable
  • The more you give, the more you get
  • Remembering to breathe – being kind to self. Finding the joy!
  • a gateway/vortex to somewhere else; less thought - just be
  • humility
  • close your eyes and go with it; the chaordic path. there is love and depth of love
  • i have been in caretaker mode; i have remembered how to nurture myself; it is as it should be
  • i feel affirmed for who i am; included. i am a part of this community. i can be a part of this by the way i am in the world. there is no sadness in ending - i have somewhere to go; gratitude
  • i am leaving behind my FOMO (fear of missing out); and taking with me a bigger ‘pack’; everyone has a story; embrace the shadow
  • compassion for others; healing; love and connection
  • comfort in community
  • taking away exactly as I expected; to consciously and intentionally seek those places out that nurture and nourish - self care
  • Self full practice is alive in me; gratitude and intention
  • recognition of my people; the people at the edges; the gifted; the marginalised; the survivors the paperbark trees sit in circle too; the image of the paperbark or the pond and casting a stone; the flow is ease and stillness
  • remember to breathe and be kind to self and others
​Kerry reshaped the mandala, bringing all of our contributions together, and invited everyone to take something of all of us with them.
