FW NOTE: I am adding this FOR SUMMER -- below is her page-by-page "homework" distilling the wed community feedback for her "pages":

NOTE FROM SUMMER: "Here is my compilation from pages 5-8. I know I saw Frederico's and Rebeccas somewhere and I can't find it right now so I am going to post here just to have it captured!

Frederico W 58:05

giving invitation to anyone who has not yet spoken….Oriana, Eloy, Marjorie…you will want to speak before we close.

Kim Willis 58:28

I invite you to slow down a little bit. This wrap it up energy is making me a little…

Frederico

Thank you so much

Tom Bougsty 59:00

wants to share his idea of how we might expand our definition of wisdom, being inclusive of all these embodiments and feelings.

”wisdom is when we internally see our personal reality. So we can act with reality out here in a way that is in harmony with what exists so that we are truly wise in terms of taking care of ourselves and the world at the same time. There are 5 major windows we’ve evolved through to be able to see reality out here.

Body sensations, actions

Feelings/Emotions/Heart

Imaging/Metaphors and Storytelling

Rational side

Witness…our preferred channel that has the ability to witness what all these are doing. Works to integrate them so we can be integrated to step into the world. It would be really nice to have our whole brain functioning in the wisdom circle, so we can step into the world in ways that are truly constructive and can lead to something really healthy and sustainable.

Sam Rau 1:00:52

I like to call that the fully integrated free functioning human being and that’s an aspect of ourself

Summer 1:01:23

Is there anything that anybody wishes you had said, that has come up for you since other people have spoken. We want to invite anybody to speak anything that is arising now.

Sarah P 1:01:47

I’d like to say how much it opens my heart to come here and see you, because we are all stepping up and being real, and that also makes me a little nervous. There’s no hiding. That is what I am here for. But there is a feeling in my tummy and a bit of nervousness and heat. It is a beautiful thing.

Summer 1:02:33

We didn’t really talk about how we were going to wrap this up

Frederico 1:02:43

I have three ideas

1) Possibly convene another one of these in 2 weeks, gives us time to integrate and have some more wisdom circles.

2) Invite anyone here that would like to be a wisdom receiver to email Eve. Her email is in the chat. We have had three people let’s keep trying. That is how we learn.

3) For the team I want to process this feedback and somehow give it back to the community, these beautiful souls now giving your wisdom. We can have time to digest that and feed that back to you.

Kim Willis 1:04:02

I just like to offer that even though this is what we’ve put forth it is not the final thing. Even though there are 5 of us who have been involved with co-creating our hope and desire as a team that it is always open to whoever wants to participate in the co-creation part. It’s not some exclusive group of 5. And if you have an interest to be a part of that we want to welcome that. We have been struggling with how. Initially we were keeping detailed minutes, and then that felt too old paradigm. So we are really learning. We want to welcome if someone wants to experiment. That is what the social experiment should be doing. We are experimenting with processes in this safe community that we can then take into our own communities. In a loving group of people who share some beliefs, even though we all have our own paths we have a place to fall and get back up again and try again and discover so that we can take things out into the world, and locally. So we want you to come and try. We want to hear what you want to do. If you have an idea, you might be the first one to try. I think it is really going for the experiment with us, and then a big part of that is the crunchy stuff like working through relation. I think every one of us has wanted to hit the exit button and then it is staying in it and feeling it and speaking that and dealing with what comes up, and when others hear us say that. And then something new breaking through, and that to me is what the social experiment is about. The struggle of doing something as a collective and what we get to learn here to make it easier out in the world.

Rebecca 1:06:40

Thanks Kim. I would love to read a poem if there is time.

otter pg 9-13 -- community feedback Wed 7-21

David Slade  36:39  

Appreciation: Wow, what a potentially potent way to to work with each other, be with each other, and discover together.

OFI: (a) I never really got clear about what each person's inquiry is, like what do they have to know? You know, that's where I find the juice. (b) there's this layer of pluralism, political correctness, spiritual vibe, spiritual bypass -- like a shell is like covered over, gooey syrup.

Bobby  41:25  

OFI: we can do this in smaller circles, so I'm only shooting small groups. So thank you for saying that.

Siobhan  42:06  

Appreciations: I'm totally thrilled and seeing how this whole thing has been evolving. 

OFI: being aware of the different orientations in the community, I'm wondering about those who need something more concrete (than just the imagery). 

Anne  43:46  (note: Anne had talked for 3 mins, before I said "thank you")

Appreciation: I'm really appreciative of those of you who have been the instigators, the 

OFI: explore the calling of the social experiment, and that is, where is its Path right now? what is our collective wisdom? What is our collective intention? How can we shift our individualism? into group individuation. 

Nataniel  48:14  

OFI: (a) I needed more variance with wisdom to make up my mind. (b) today's structure is quite different from the way it was structured on Friday. I'm just wondering "is this also active wisdom? Or is this more like a nice conversation about wisdom? 

Ellen Davis  52:34  (she talked for two minutes)

Appreciation: I really feel and hear the invitation for, for co creativity for whatever is here and all of its different forms. And is this beautiful divine intelligence as it's coming through. 

OFI: (a) more into embodied movement and feeling where the intelligence is actually coming through the body. And there's so much to learn through that, that could be there the metaphors direct like wisdom teachings, or whatever, it could be very, very fluid and open to what's being called for in the moment. And I would like to see this develop like I would like to see the transformational bearing witness circle and whatever I'm doing (b) all circles develop into a gnostic Association where we're open to feeling all of that including shadow

Claudia  55:23  

Appreciation: I feel very welcome, and it helps me ask, what is wisdom for me? I can feel it in a process in the body and in the heart, what does wisdom mean for me? 

Sarah p  56:38  

Appreciation: really appreciated the tightness of the format in the session with Linda and Tom. And how much that works for me that when I feel that we're very tightly held, that that gives a support and a freedom and a safety. 

OFI: (a) bit annoyed right now at what's going on in so many of you are responding and butting in, and we would all have one minute and you broke that. 

(b) Like Eloy, not enough embodiment, presencing and feeling into it. (c) I loved what someone said about it not just being the metaphors, bit also reach different learning styles.
