Peggy and all, Quite a story. My hat is off to you for work very, very well done.
A few personal reactions... The person who said your bell-ringing was unnecessary was cruel and rude. I can find no excuse for such poor behavior. He owes you an apology. You owe him nothing. Just because you¹re a facilitator and serving the community does not give anyone the right to pick on you in public. Folks who make actual requests for intimacy as an outcome of a meeting may have issues about their own inability to create and/or participate in intimate relationships. Breadth from depth is a good concept, but I don¹t want ³depth² prescribed or forced on me by a few folks who think they know what¹s important for everyone. As an introvert, I would hesitate to show up at any gathering where the someone has deliberately set things up in this way. I certainly wouldn¹t want them applying this concept as an unconscious way of dealing with their own needs. I look forward to whatever further contributions you care to make about the evolutionary/cosmological aspects of that meeting. I¹m something of a devotee of the ³new story². I see the work I do in open space as the format and dynamics most closely resembling the flaring forth and evolutional history of existence and life. Good going, Peg. Congratulations.
