Gathering the Tribe: Times of Moment and Connection

Psychosynthesis, as “a psychology of revelation”, prompts us to consider what is being revealed.

These times of transition, challenge, affirmation and uncertainty certainly are a revelation - both to us and in us - and ask us to consider how we may be tending to ourselves, others and our world.

We noticed how much of the revelation comes through our bodies’ responses, noticing the difference in our experience and meaning-making when we pay attention, and what happens when the world just happens to us.

How does our experience of these times shape our realisation—of purpose, self and place; of Psychosynthesis as both theory and process; and as both practice and community?

Ultimately, what are these times reminding us about transpersonal will, qualities and heartfelt connection?

In that context, what can we do together, with and for each other, and our world?What can we offer to one another and to others to help in these times?
What do we need?

For community, one must first commune, suggests Nora Bateson.

Join us in an open, communal space, structured just enough to have shape, but open enough for whatever may emerge… “as if your place in the world mattered”….

… and the world steps in
to test the calm fluidity of your body
from moment to moment

as if it believed you could join
its vibrant dance
of fire and calmness and final stillness.

As if you were meant to be exactly
where you are, as if,
like the dark branch of a desert river

you could flow on without a speck
of guilt and everything
everywhere would still be just as it should be.

As if your place in the world mattered
and the world could
neither speak nor hear the fullness of

its own bitter and beautiful cry
without the deep well
of your body resonating in the echo.
