The intent is to create standing groups of people who sit in circles and speak the truth. I would include something like “Authentic Relating” circles within the domain of what I want to do, but I intend much more. I do have a philosophical basis I bring to it. I do have specific practices and techniques I bring to it.
In no small measure all my explorations have been intended to help create my own readiness to launch this thing, which I literally intend as a supplement to, and in perhaps many cases, an alternative to, traditional families. That structure is failing in many many cases in this country, and I think has always been limiting in some ways even where it remains robust.
This is something I intend for me. I am not complete. I have not vanquished all my demons, but I don’t think perfection should be the price for starting something; and those who ask for it ask, in my opinion, to be lied to.
Anyway, you can’t miss the survey. Vote if you like. You can select, I think, as many as you like. If you have other names you’d like added to the list, put them in comments here, or there, if it takes them. This is a new feature for me, so I’m not entirely sure how, and how well, it works.
My intent is to pick a name, reserve a website using whatever contortions I need to perform to get something close, then fill it with the sort of commentary I have left littered all over the web, but expressed as clearly as I am today capable, which is better than yesterday, and much better than a few years ago, or so I hope. I have put a lot of thought into my thing, and have not even come close to sharing all my ideas here. I have separate files for that.
