Hello all! Birgitt wrote > For me, whenever I do an OST meeting, I tell the story of what it is with all of its ingredients when action planning and fine attention to detail are needed. We might not do it that way at that meeting, because the need is different. And I have a handout describing OST. I do this because I want to promote OST in the world by sharing the whole recipe.
I think (and know from experiencing her training) that Birgitt offers a conscientious and ethical approach to the whole recipe. There is a bit of a controversy in my neck of the woods regarding OST. Many have experienced, via local people not previously trained, a 'form' of OST that did not always leave such a good taste in peoples' mouths. I'm fairly certain that some facilitators, even after training, will continue to provide bits and pieces (not with mal-intent, perhaps out a conscious decision or their own personal learning curve or even lack of integration of deeper values inherent in OST). I have been concerned (read afraid) about these stories and, at times, have bit at the temptation to clarify, influence, etc... We can never guarantee that the receiver receives the message as intended > even in the Shamanic tradition there are stories of an initiate who 'strays'. FAITH, my friends is all we have (and open space :)). respectfully, Glory Ressler * * ========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected] Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html =========================================================== [email protected] To subscribe, 1.
