Many of us who live locally were able to join together to explore “What has been moving through us and what is present now?”</p>
<p>In the past five months it seems many of us have been releasing very old beliefs and wounds to allow us to step fully into our lives.</p>
<p>Meeting together and sharing our stories collectively in such a safe space allowed us each to have caring witnesses to our process. The fact that we so rarely have this opportunity in our busy lives was echoed by many. What a gift it is to gather in this way.</p>
<p>Judy, “McHenry” and I co-created the day which was beautiful and rich. I brought the art supplies, shruti box and my guitar. I even sang a new song that I composed for this group to celebrate our stepping into the “new story”. Pictures of the day are posted <a title="Art of Humans Being reunion photos on flckr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/36452784@N05/sets/72157625893085482/">here.</a> And the video of the ‘world premier’ of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_1Oqsvd6Lg">my song is on YouTube!</a> See the words to the "Humans Being Rag" at the bottom of this post.</p>
<p>I am so grateful for the women who gathered and for all the support we have from each <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655758857?profile=original"><img width="400" class="align-right" style="padding: 2px;" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2655758857?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400"/></a>other, the land, the delicious food and the spirit world. These are all important components of what makes our time together at the <a href="http://www.eccr.com/">Essex Conference Center</a> so special. Each time we meet like this I am nourished and reminded how important it is to sit together in community in these transformational times.</p>
<p>Thanks to all of the participants for being in the field. Let's get together again soon.</p>
