Question One:

- Got to connect with more people as well as heard from people I was in sessions with.

- Definitely felt connection; talk with "new" people in a familiar group.

- Safe, hopeful and engaging.

- Sharing from the heart, deeply moved by the beauty of the exchanges.

 

Question Two:

- There are many varied ways to tell a story and the power of storytelling. Grantmakers want to incorporate more of this in their work; learn more about the people they work with. Collective leadership is when unique contributions are recognized independent of role.

- Bring the questions back to the group - i.e., these are the things/ideas that came up for me, what do you think? The approach is really situational.

- The balance of and relationship to tensions of charismatic leaders and/or the idea of guru in spiritual practice - how does this support and impede growth?

- Collective leadership is about love and power and holding the tension of this paradox. Core of collective leadership is love but how do we love everyone?

- The value of the process and making connections that build a vision from the ground up.

- Tendency to think of collective leadership in a way that downgrades hierarchy; the duty to be pragmatic and realistic; thinking at how to support people who have to return to hierarchy.

- Collective nature of leadership is the need for us to slow down and reconnect to natural world.

- It is a continuum>theory base>on the ground>practical>looking for solutions we are struggling together to create a better world.

- Everyone needs to hold onto who they are at cross boundaries - judgement vs. discernment - pay attention to where "I am coming from."

- Acknowledge those who had a hand in creating the experience. A highlight - hearing from Christian (a participant) about his school as his center. Its great to hear from young people.

- Possibility of bringing collective leadership into family/home life with my "new people" (2 & 4 year olds) to create the kind of world we want.

- Leadership is a paradox: power>love; vulnerability>strength.
