Re: Gretchen thoughts and Sept gathering
|
Hello Ladies, Thinking about Gretchen's email...... At the completion of the September weekend 2023, our group spoke about the option for outside facilitators as a way forward.? It was presented due to observations that (sim to G email) there seemed to be a reduced interest for SSR women to facilitate, to ease the logistic?load, and to deepen the potential for ritual and container by bringing in?seasoned outside facilitators.? ?And it seems we might still be experiencing this ripple on many levels. My detached mind observes our group initially having an outside facilitator (ALisa) take us through an incredible journey where we witnessed magic and mystery and potential.? ?The past decade without ALisa, I observe SSR as a place where the amazing women in our group were able to grow facilitation skills and step into leadership in a safe container - and now taking those skills to the world!!!!.? (I have had the honor of witnessing the growth and development of women in the group.? YAY!!)? And it seems like we are in a new decade.? A place where we may want to return to a place where an outside facilitator takes us to a new level again???All part of the spiral.? A year goes quickly.? And growth happens with time.? Therefore, G's email of a continual outside facilitator might be a great logistic option in addition?to providing a continuum of growth.? Interesting... the idea of 2 years.... just like PP... 2 years.? Coincidence??? Currently, for me, I have also thought about the WHY of SSR.? This past weekend helped me to realize that I previously attended SSR for community, friendship, and Sisterhood.? That the content of the weekend didn't matter - I just wanted to be there.? I notice this has shifted a bit.? I feel as if my impulse to?show up is more 'self oriented' now.? I notice I am showing up in life more for me - as opposed to showing up because of everyone else.?? What I am needing in life right now is a place where I can show up and do "work'.? After?so much transition and?rewriting of my ideals, visions, perspectives, etc.... I am looking for containers where I can safely sort through these?new?energies in me. I trust the SSR container as a place where I / we can do deep work.? ?And that would be my ideal WHY.? That the SSR container shifts into a place where we can do personal and collective 'work'.? And I think having an outside (3rd party) facilitator would be a great way to move forward.? And I think 2 years is a great logistic option. as always... I am working through thoughts and ideas every moment and I don't even know if I agree with 1/2 what I think or say.? Everything is still being sorted out.? And this is what came out sitting at the computer right now. Blessing for today.?
