Session 2 🕸️ 19.05.2024

🕸️ The learning of a small group creates a learning experience field for the greater learning community - small group + wider group of with-nessing and followers = the essence of Learning Out Loud

❤️ What if I am not willing to weave? There is rigor to distinguish between willingness and capacity. I don't think there is non-violence without infinite willingness.

🌀 I want to other person to focus with me on the person I invite to speak. For weaving we need to come closer together.

🌀 Focus on where you can give energy. You are the weaving, it is not coming from them. Difference between traffic manager who directs content and Weaver who is present with the context and relationality.

❤️ If we stay together we can find some truth.

❤️ Do you need to mourn anything? A regular question throughout the session

🕸️ Finishing is the favourite strategy of many people and it is not a need.

🌀 Always weave in your reasoning. The Why is at the centre and holds the togetherness, and not the solution in the end.

❤️ Do you feel the weaving happening?

🌀 Less pressure on seemingly opposing partners is the result of weaving and the sense of togetherness.

🌀 For weaving back, ask Yes and No questions.

❤️ Grow Capacities in noticing turning point moments of weaving because they don't last and are fragile.

🌀 Leaving myself behind means when my choices are not made on knowing what I want.

❤️ Anything that doesn't feel easy, assume you are overwriting yourself.

🌀 State what you want to do and why and then ask the question.

🕸️ Empathy settles at a nervous system level and acknowledging settles at the relational inter-connection level.

🌀 Weaving ourselves into it. Within the tension we often jump over the essence, which is our passion, care and power.

🕸️ Setting a container is often not be received in the beginning of a conversation because our minds is occupied

🕸️ I am the container and I add instructions as they are needed.

❤️ Expressing our appreciation is putting energy into a person = Resourcing and meeting a core human need: Belonging.

🌀 As a facilitator instead talking to them, work it out together and explain your reasons. State the Why because it liberates the relationship and flow.

🌀 Instead of making decisions based on assumptions, ask questions to move with clear information and clean communications.

➕ Gestalt Therapy ➕

🕸️ every word counts and so does the energy and purpose behind them. It is our cells who keep the score (the word We as a power tool. Often used to boost one's power, or to stand in one's power, while unintentionally exercising "power over") The root cause is a lack of self-trust.)

❤️ Who is able to listen first?

🌀 Always weave in the purpose throughout the process and conversation; e.g. before Q+A rounds to remind everyone of the purpose again and stay aligned.

❤️ Togetherness in the process, and not togetherness in the outcome.

🌀 As a facilitator in a mediation, your task is not to make them be comfortable. Your task is to bring them closer together to be able to weave together.

🕸️ Always work with the information that is there, instead of making inferences (assumptions, guessing, psychological conclusions)

🌀 You cannot facilitate well if you are constantly preoccupied with making sure everyone is comfortable in the process

🗝️🔓 The fear of discomforting others with our communications takes away agency from you and the others to take responsibility for their emotions, feelings, and energies.
