Intentional Society: Slice of life
Click here to register for our next orientation video call on Saturday, August 13th at 1:00-1:55pm Pacific Daylight Time (4pm Eastern, 8pm UTC).
This is a "slice of life" update, sharing what's happening inside the IS umbrella.
Last week we welcomed Seishin from Willow Monastic Academy for a session of open exploration from curiosity. Some of that went toward the life-of-practice of a modern monastic, our respective ecologies of practice, and other topics... and also multiple folks noted and appreciated being impacted by Seishin's quality of presence and/or energy. I'm glad to grow our group-to-group connection, aligned by similar aims and approaches, and so create another link in the meta-network.
This week we're coming back around to IFS (Internal Family Systems) to reconnect with its parts-of-self model, vocabulary, and connect to capital-S Self (which then seems linked to personal integrity-aura, personal field feeding relational field). I label it as an "oracle" type practice, because one tends to end up learning things that they didn't know they knew.
We're scheduling a Circling session as a mid-week member event soon. A Case Clinic event could be next. Or maybe we'll first get to try out a custom-designed IS version of gift circle practice. (Hmm, I notice lots of resonance in me to move with community energy, and some degree of my own catalyzing energy becoming a rate-limiter. Normalizing and broadening leadership, then, yes, as calling-energy should generally be guided by response energy. Share the awareness, help the system see itself...)
May you be free, may you be happy, may you abide in integrity.
Cheers,
James
