I love this space so much and your gentle guidance. Thank you for the availability of your presence and your community.
What was missing in mi was the last line of your mantra:
Live simply
Love fully
Walk with
Carry nothing
Let yourself be held
I could not believe that this line: "Let yourself be held" can be possible. This constant dance between "giving and receiving", "deserving and not deserving", "being enough and not being quite enough" was connected with my poor ability to receive all gifts of life.
As you said many times the love is the power. Love in many different forms. Including those that I had never expected as a gift.
After a week of being home from the island of Utö, where I felt supported by so many Transformational Presence graduates, I am again confronted with the reality of violence, hate and destruction. Re-reading your words Alan, "Remain “gathered” in who we are and how we live" gives support and direction to focus on what I can contribute as an individual to make a difference.
Thank you, Gabriella. We are living in uncertain, rapidly changing times, and confronted with new (and sometimes violent) events and situations almost daily. It's hard. AND, we have tools in Transformational Presence to help us find our way. And even though we often don't know how until we do it, we do.
To be "gathered" ... :-) very original approach. it reminds me of the need of having more gatherings with oneself before gathering with " others" ... It also makes me think of your image of vertical and horizontal energy to spread .... I remember it as a strong exercice of being and doing ... Have a nice "gathering" with all the members the TP community in Sweden, Alan. My heart travels with you all
Being gathered and so grateful that we have are Global Gathering just these days to learn sense and feel… thank you Alan for these wonderful words about the meaning of ‘being gathered’.

Beautiful, Dagmara, thank you! The "let yourself be held" part is so important. So many of us think we have to do it all ourselves. Yet we don't!

Thank you, Tuutje. To be “gathered” is one of the greatest gifts we can bring to the world around us.
