Council Process

Council Process

Mondays, 7:10-8:30pm 
November 6  with Deb Mielke, Theme TBA
No registration needed. This event is offered in person only.


We invite you to join this opportunity to practice deep listening and wholehearted speech, to build community and connection. Council process is a way of deep sharing in which participants speak, one at a time, from the heart.
​
The intentions of council are speaking from the heart, listening from the heart, lean expression, speaking out, spontaneity, and confidentiality. The tenets of council are not knowing, bearing witness, and appropriate action.

Participants are encouraged to be present for one or both periods of zazen (5:50 and 6:30 pm) prior to council. Please be on time for council, since, out of respect for the process, it is not possible to join council once it has begun. 
With apologies to our Zoom community, Council Process is on site only because by nature it is intended to promote safe sharing and confidentiality.
