The Spirited Work reference is to Angeles Arrien's naming of 4 archetypes that
describe what she uncovered in her work as a cultural anthropologist. She
found all cultures have these four systems and she names a practice for each:
* governance - the Way of the Warrior (Show up and be present)
* health care - the Way of the Healer (Pay attention to what has heart and
meaning)
* the arts and sciences - the Way of the Visionary (Tell the truth without
blame or judgment)
* education - the Way of the Teacher (Let go, be unattached to outcome)
still flying,
Peggy

Hello Raffi!
Nice to "hear" your voice again. What was that about using the Fourfold way
in opening space? Can you (or someone ..) explain a little bit more - that
would be great! Because it sounds interesting.
Take care over there!
Big hug
Eva

Hi folks!
I'm reposting this because it didn't seem to make the listserv...

Subject: reflections on Goa
Hi all!
I wanted to put in my few words about Goa. It was all I could have wished
for and more. It was funny how after the first day I was sad that the OSonOS
would be over in two days. By the end of the second day, I was very full, so
full that I felt too tired to carry on with the 4th (!) topic I'd posted--
"Personal preparation for OST". One of the Indian participants (Khosro, I
believe-- I mix up his name because there's a Persian analog of his name) who'd
never been to an OST meeting before, however was curious about this topic. And
it was curious to be the one imparting information about OST. Prior to that I'd
be the one doing the "downloading", listening to more experienced OST
practitioners, challenging them (gently), asking questions. Now, of course, any
human exchange is a lot more complex and curious than either "downloading" or
"uploading".
I took lots of notes and hope to type them up, much to digest for a while.
It's hard even to imagine going to Halifax for now. There was so much from this
event, and so much ahead in my personal life as many at the event learned.
One of the interesting learnings was hearing how Seattle folks, or more
precisely the Spiritedwork community there, include the Fourfold Way in opening
space. I realized that there were certain OST meetings in the past where I
definitely could have used those four practices. As I keep on hearing about the
Fourfold Way I realize that it can no longer be a book gathering dust in a box.
I need to bring those practices into my life.
One thing I somehow never got to say to you Harrison, but I did when we
hugged upon meeting on Day One, was how grateful I am to you (and Spirit) for
bringing OST to our Now and for bringing OS principles into our consciousness.
It is such a gift.
And I am so grateful for Janet Pinto's work in making this OSonOS possible.
There were so many touches that just left me very grateful. So much care,
thoroughness, and thoughtfulness went into the meeting. While I know that some
participants felt awkward about the inclusion of the Ganesha celebration in the
OSonOS - which I understand-- I really appreciated the invitation to
participate in the celebration. And I really valued hearing the story of
Ganesha.
I left feeling much more confident in my abilities as an OST facilitator.
Side remark to all: Shabbir looks like my father; and Zachary looks like my
brother!!
Also I want to express my thanks to OSI-USA for making it possible to come
to Goa. A real gift. I'll be typing up my notes into Russian and sharing them
with the OST world here.
Warmly from a Moscow bursting with autumn colors (after a beautiful run in
Sokolniki Park-- where the tsar and his buddies went falcon hunting in the good
old days),
Raffi
