A democratic learning community.
CCP 2 (Circle Council Practise #2 autumn 2012)
Well I think its
fair to say we got off to a rather late start yet that seemed to have a
very powerful learning experience for the group, and we did
appear to develop a greater understanding of our own needs and the needs
of others through it. It would be interesting to hear others account of
this process and unravel what the actual learning was? I sense some
have a need to go slow and others have a need to be on course. The
question we need to now ask is how can we move forward in a way that
promotes equality between both needs?
A Circle Learning Journey has begun.
Our
preparation for the Centre was created by Ruth who seems to be a sole
contributor to the centre setting therefore I'd like to urge the others
and including myself to take some ownership for our centre, and bring
what feels important to our overall higher intent.
Bill took the opportunity to do our agreements:
Honour time keeping
Clockwise movement
Value agreements made
Collate possible action points
Honour living words
Honour ripple space
Incorporate lightness
Listen with curiosity and compassion
Honour wholeness of talking stick
Only when everyone's needs are met are everyone's needs met
Setting our Intent for the session It was noted that this is ordinarily done prior to our meeting however it seemed to be a nice process to go through it face to face and I enjoyed hearing it being formulated 'live'.
The Intent: To
learn and study the book, gathering the essence of its meaning and thus
learning how we can switch from a fear based economy to a love based
economy, one that enhances and protects people and our environment.
Does that resonate with people?
Evie read the first words aloud and brought us into Circle. We followed this by reading the foreword.
Check in raised issues around time and Sue feeling slightly ill Foreword: On reading the foreword it stimulated an open round discussion on the content. It was raised that their was a great
amount of time spent on understanding the network of people who were
involved in the process of this book coming into being. Anneruth was
able to bring the foreword to life with her well researched
understanding of the different organisations that are working towards a
love based economy.
The discussion that took place seemed
to open up to the heart of the economic trouble, and seemed to tap into
very relevant concepts that the group are trying to understand. In this
way, the book seems to stimulate thinking along the right lines
and offers an opportunity for us to change the kind of debates we are
having, albeit with a rather small group of people.
We agreed on a format for our next sessions Next Session: Getting in for 9.30am with a prompt start @ 10.00am Therefore all coffee and social chatting to be done and ready to move into circle time thereafter.
Host for the next sessions as follows
Ruth: Preface and Introduction Sue: My Story Christopher: Chapter 1 Bill: Chapter 2 Evie: Chapter 3
