Well, Philip, I have met Pema Chodron several times. In fact we just got back from driving through Cape Breton for a few days post OSonOS. And Gampo Abbey is just outside of Pleasant Bay, Cape Breton. I've sat in circles with Pema a few times, had meals with her and meditated with her. She is both extraordinary and ordinary at the very same time! Pema beautifully brings a mindfulness meditation practice into her day to day existence. And to all -- Cape Breton sends loving wishes -- the Moose, Pilot whales, Minke whales, Fin whales, dolphins, coyote, eagles, etc...... all paid us a delightful visits - the beaches, vistas, mountains....... from Baddeck to Meat Cove - the weather is still remarkable here -- as a few more OSonOs participants begin to depart Halifax! warmly, Judi __________________________________________________________ Judith Richardson, MA Pono Consultants International Consulting and Executive Coaching Optimizing Performance, Potential and Profitability Winner -- International Coach of the Year! www.ponoconsultants.com www.emergentfeminine.com Subscribe to our newsletter at www.emergentfeminine.com Nova Scotia, Canada Phone: (902) 434-6695 Facsimile: (902) 435-1085 E-mail: [email protected] If you live your life as gracefully as you know how, as playfully as you know how, as kindly as you know how, as joyfully as you know how, you are bound to influence, inspire and uplift others by your example. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- This email message may contain personal and/or otherwise confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.

I'd particularly like to recommend a little pocket book by her, called "Awakening Loving-Kindness". An essential tool for me when I'm opening space, to remind me that I can let go of my attachments to outcomes, and that all I need to do is to forgive myself and everyone else, and be present with what is happening. I do find that I need to remind myself of these simple truths quite often... ;-) Philip Joseph Philip Joseph Consulting +44(0)1892 853086 [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elwin and Joan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 06, 2005 9:20 PM Subject: When Things Fall Apart > To my dear friends at OSonOS Halifax: > A dear friend recently gave me a copy of the book "When Things Fall > Apart" and today I arrived at Chapter 13, "Widening the Circle of > Compassion" and found this prologue: > > "Only in an open, nonjudgmental space can we acknowledge what we are > feeling.
