Day 6 (a couple days ago once again)

-->
Global Love School, Day 6

Yes, so already day 6!  And so much to share…  A very small fraction of what is going on for me…

Since the last time:

We separated into men and women’s groups for the first 24 hours.  Camping out together.  Sharing dreams.  Names.  Age groups.  Intentions.  Insight from the land and spirits.  Creating solidarity amongst the women.  Before we left the space, we created a song to share with the men on our reconnection.

This time apart ended with a beautiful sharing in the stone cathedral.  (on top of a hill in the company of 96 archetypal stones) So raw to face the men from across this wide-open space of the circle. 

After the circle closed, sharing space with John and Ian in our dreaming of Tamera West….

The next day we chose our groups.

Creating a healing Biotope was mine.  (Community, love and sexuality another group, Terra Deva-connection to earth spirits the third group and arts: working with clay the final)  A bold stand to be taking here.  Also the group with many of the Americans, whom I am getting to know.  They talk a lot about the California biotope, and so I find myself in this place of unknown.  It will take so much to manifest so big a dream and for sure these Californians have the will and the juice.  Great to have Ian here, who is keen on something on Salt Spring.  The dream the dream the dream…

I honestly don’t remember all of what happened in what order… It has been SO full! 

Each day we have the ‘geistic hour’.
There was a talk on Eros and Agape from Sabina and Dieter (founders of Tamera).  The original sin as described by Dieter, in my own interpretation: casting Eros out of the garden of Eden.
There was a talk on Truth in love with Sabina, Benjamin and Vera. 
There was a talk on something that came up in forum practice: what about this hatred of the mother by the son?
Today

Forum practice in our small group and with the whole group.  Amazing! What is being stirred in this space is so deep.   Very archetypal issues. 
The son who hates his mother: a symbol of the patriarchy (or the poor-son-archy) The comfort/complacency in our current lives.  Why change anything?
The animal/HUGE sexual urge of the man turns violent, turns into war.
The self discovery through freedom in love. 
The hero.
The lost sexuality.
We share dreams in the morning.
Relate our personal issues with the bigger issues. 

My birthday was an amazing day.  Very full.  Celebratory.  I received a lot of love and care.  A beautiful birthday song with the whole group and Gabriel, and Argentinian who lives in Israel and dear friend of Amit, leading with great passion.
I actually got drunk at the bar at the end of it! 

Yesterday was the hardest day so far. 
We started in the Bodega – the temple of love.  The space opened to ask for what you dare.  I asked for something with someone I look up to here.  The experience was new, uncomfortable and brought up many questionings of myself…

I took a dish shift after lunch and hurried to the afternoon session.
Very stirring forum.
Then having dinner with an older man from Israel who lives on the border of Gaza: hearing his story of this. 
Then to the ‘Political Café’, where we learned about the refugee situation in Greece from some people from here and there that went to help out this winter. 
HEAVY!!  Wow.

So grateful that today we actually got outside to do some work on the land… 

So I am in awe.  Riding the waves.  SO much being stirred in me.  I am in a washing machine spin cycle. 

Once again I say, I want this!  I want to take my place in this global mission for peace.  A small place perhaps.  But a place….  And waiting for my chance to speak in this place. 

To be continued…
