Workshops Work Podcast

Quanita Roberson and I were featured on a Workshops Work podcast. Amsterdam based Myriam Hadnes is the host. I enjoy her thinking and her desire to explore the deeper purpose of things. I was glad that she welcomed us back (Quanita and I have each done individual episodes with Myriam previously).

This one is an hour in length. Myriam begins with a prompt about what facilitation can mean in times like these.

I loved the deep values that we explored together, and gave some relevance to with are out-loud imagined applications and integrations. Particularly, a key message that Quanita and I emphasize in all of our work — that the turning in to self is fundamental step for leading and guiding. I so often feel it as, “it is essential to have relationship with your interior — be that the interior of joy or the interior of worry or all the other interior states.” Quanita often says it as, “You can’t take someone where you haven’t been yourself.”

Enjoy the listen.

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."
