Wander School

Wander School & Wandership Development

At this phase of my life, I recognize the need to get to the core of things. Beneath facilitation that so often points to learning and accomplishment, lives in most of us a hunger for more fulfilling life and story. Lives hunger for becoming and belonging. Becoming who we are really meant to be. Belonging to life and to community. Most of my work these days grows from this core. Most of my heart lives in invitation to explore and practice together. Most of my hope lays in helping people everywhere get to the more fulfilling and contributing path.

This B&B Series is a work in progress. Creating wildly. Giving shape to what I love. To what contributes well. Inviting others to jump in. Crossing my fingers. Staying on point with what the point is. B&B is free now. To experience personal practice and personal practice in community. Somewhere in the future I’ll shift to a “pay what you can” model or a subscription / membership model.

Each offering is independent. You can show up as a first-timer or as a repeat participant. Mix & match as you will. Dive deep with me. I’m starting with a few offerings. I love doing them. They are deep personal practice for me. I know them to be good for and with others. Some are for small groups. Some for larger groups.

Gifts of Circle - Question Cardsasd
Gifts of Circle is 30 short essays divided into 4 sections: 1) Circle's Bigger Purpose, 2) Circle's Practice, 3) Circle's First Requirements, and 4) Circle's Possibility for Men. From the Introduction: "Circle is what I turn to in the most comprehensive stories I know -- the stories of human beings trying to be kind and aware together, trying to make a difference in varied causes for which we need to go well together. Circle is also what I turn to in the most immediate needs that live right in front of me and in front of most of us -- sharing dreams and difficulties, exploring conflicts and coherences. Circle is what I turn to. Circle is what turns us to each other."

Question Cards is an accompanying tool to Gifts of Circle. Each card (34) offers a quote from the corresponding chapter in the book, followed by sample questions to grow your Circle hosting skills and to create connection, courage, and compassionate action among groups you host in Circle.

In My Nature
is a collection of 10 poems. From A Note of Beginning: "This collection of poems arises from the many conversations I've been having about nature. Nature as guide. Nature as wild. Nature as organized. I remain a human being that so appreciates a curious nature in people. That so appreciates questions that pick fruit from inner being, that gather insights and intuitions to a basket, and then brings the to table to be enjoyed and shared over the next week."

Most Mornings is a collection of 37 poems. I loved writing them. From the introduction: "This collection of poems comes from some of my sense-making that so often happens in the morning, nurtured by overnight sleep. The poems sample practices. They sample learnings. They sample insights and discoveries. They sample dilemmas and concerns."
