-=== Multistakeholders ===+=== Multiple stakes === 
 + 
 +A session to discuss how to frame our [[process_facilitation|facilitation of participatory processes]] for multistakeholder groups and (systemic) transitions, where the hosting community functions as an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_research|action research]] lab for individual and collective experiments. The session consists of a presentation of a proposal as sketched out by Luea and Maja, a feedback round using the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Thinking_Hats|Six Thinking Hats]] cards and planning next steps.

 === Conundrums === === Conundrums ===
 +
 +This session is meant to bring a few conundrums out in the open, without attempting to resolve them. Just let them linger in the back of our heads in the months to come… We began by bringing up a few of my pain points, using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%ABla_(Buddhism)|Vajrakīla]], the ritual dagger //"… to bind and pin down negative energies or obscurations from the mindstream of an entity, person or thoughtform, including the thoughtform generated by a group, project and so on, to administer purification."// During and after the session these pain points were transformed into open questions. At the end of the day Stevie and I improvised a guided reflection for voice and hurdy-gurdy (see below), on how to transform insights from difficult situations into deeper aspirations and appreciation of life.

 +**How do we transform problems into creative challenges?**
 +
 +For example:
 +
 +  * How can we, in this community, find a good flow between creative and receptive energies, between collective, goal-driven activities and supporting/nurturing individual members (think of the flow in the yin-yang symbol)?
 +
 +  * How can we co-create a light and clear community structure to avoid the "tyranny of structurelessness" (see quote below), allowing the group to become agile and adaptive?
 +
 +  * How do we balance the drive to hang out together and co-create new activities with the "time & money" pressure the individual members are struggling with?
 +
 +  * How can we be available, committed, reliable and punctual, so that we can enjoy "being and doing" together? So that the logistics and co-ordination tasks can be evenly and effectively distributed and exchanged, while also having time to socialise, celebrate and relax, i.e. enjoy each others' company?

 +== Guided meditation ==
 +
 +<blockquote>Think of a difficult situation that has you in its grip. Inhabit it, surround yourself in it as if you were in a movie. Look at yourself. What does your distress feel like? In your thoughts, emotions, in your body... What’s underneath this feeling? Is there a deeper wound, a vulnerability, a suffering, an unfulfilled yearning? Stay in this yearning for a while. See it, experience it as it is right at this moment. Offer it what it needs... As Thich Nhat Hahn says: "Darling, I see your suffering..." 
 +
 +Begin turning outwards... Look at the difficult situation again, and you in it. What does this situation want to teach you? What can you take from it on your life's path?
 +
 +Let's look at this path for a while... Your life... What if you had only a year to live? A month? A day? An hour? Just a few moments? What would really matter? 
 +
 +Slowly come back to the here-and-now. Look around you. Remind yourself how precious it is to be alive, no matter if it's for a few moments or many decades... How does it feel to be grateful for being alive? Let everything else fade into the background, as sound gradually fades into silence...</blockquote>
