reflections on evolution of dal

What is organic?

How does BD want to participate, what does she need?

what’s the ethos/culture?

what’s the intention?

what’s the organizing principle?

SUPPORT IDEAS:

Write out what you’d be comfortable leading/holding space for, then be invited by invitation (by Barbara?) to lead something. Also, don't mind volunteering for tasks

Zen practice models, seniors/students for taking care of administrative and timekeeping business. co-facilitators lead - holding the space of wisdom (space suit) space-of-wisdom suit, break down little jobs from martial arts/zen retreat

EVOLUTION IDEAS

If incorporating/expanding to 24:

break out rooms in the afternoon and late morning model

How do we deepen/advance of dal?

people deepen practice perhaps with sitting, writing, etc? for the month before coming

silent lunch?

WHAT'S NECESSARY?

what’s the intention?


To:

continue this lineage

laboratory

retreat/renew

day three is the hard day: Barbara to lead the morning

Elements of a dal:

some things are always there

contemplative dance practice in mornings

solo quads & parallel corridors

afternoon - everybody brings in scores scores – laboratory

group conversation – on a relevant philosophical question

evening potluck at Barbara’s - celebration

what’s on Barbara’s mind (like "follow me" this year)

themes of investigation from Barbara like notecards

gift economy conversation


need to

participants keeping conversation going thru blog, response
