Well, that’s another Introduction to the Way of Council course safely delivered! An Online one this time, with committed people from 4 countries and 2 continents.

I was really struck by how much events in global politics were very present for everyone, and by how much everyone was seeing Way of Council as part of their resistance to the destructive forces at work in the world today.

We shared some tears for sure, but we also shared a lot of laughter, and some joy at the sheer beauty of this practice we call Council, and what it is capable of.

Beauty and hope shining through.

What gives you hope in these days? What lifts you up when you get knocked down?

Here are some reflections on the course by those who took part:

“[Dave’s delivery is] Very good. Clear, warm hearted, sincere, enthusiastic. It’s an amazing practice. I got a lot out of it.”

“Wonderful! I really appreciated all of the personal anecdotes which gave a sense for how what we were learning might play out in the real world. All really beautiful stories and on point.”

“This course will give you everything you need (background, real life examples, hands on experience) to get started facilitating.”
