Sharing: Feel free to share when the invitation is open, but know you are not obliged to do so. At the end of each practice, we invite sharing of experiences by passing a “taking stick to signal to the group a member that wants to talk as well as the end of each participants sharing.

Speak out whatever is arising in you at that moment and we kindly ask to be very economical in the expression. We discourage the unfolding of each long story that the mind createsfocusing on bringing awareness and words to the present moment experience.

Listen deeply and attentively to the other person and bring attention to what arises in you as you listen as much as when you talk.

Sharing: You are free to share when the invitation is open, but remember you are not obliged to do so. In order to give everybody the opportunity to offer some personal experience, we invite you to distil the comment to its minimal expression, offering only one word or a very short phrase that represents what is alive in you, in that moment.  We use the zoom CHAT option for the sharing. We do NOT activate microphones for each participant. Read the chat with attention and absorb, as much as possible what others have shared. Bring awareness to what happens inside you while you read and you write your comment.
