Hi Everyone!

I just saw Keren at the Wednesday farmer's market here in Portland and we talked about having a reunion next month for all of us from the intensive who are/will be within reach of PDX ... We were thinking of Sunday May 5th as a possible day -- maybe a potluck in the evening? -- the second MAPW residency will be starting shortly afterwards and more of us will be gathered back in town around then ... I'm happy to make my place available but open to all suggestions ...

Apart from that it's been a rich and interesting month for me so far ... I had my 40th birthday and celebration April 12th -- a really special day ... I had been looking forward to turning 40 and starting a new decade and whole new phase in my life -- and now it's here! ... Lots of different emotions came up, some quite unexpected but all part of an evolving process that I'm so excited about ... and lots of other interesting things unfolding too!

Well, those of you who might be able to make it, please let us know if May 5th would be a good day -- or if any alternatives would work better ... in any case I'm so much looking forward to seeing everyone who can be there!

Much love to all,
Alex

Hey there, yes, this works for me. I arrive in Seattle 2 May.

 

Karlita possibly only arrives on the 7th tho?

 

Looking forward to seeing you all and catching up, thanks for organising Alex.

 

Wondering, perhaps we can do a group skype with those far off?

 

 

Hugs,

Paola

Hey all,

Yay for random Portland meetups!

I'd be available that night (May 5th) and will be happy to prepare some food. I'm also potentially open to hosting. Paola and I (and Teng Nging from MAPW4) will all be in the same house in North Portland... but that's not as centrally located as your house, Alex.

I could also potentially do a slightly later date if we want to wait for more people to get to Portland. Not May 6th though; that night I'll be hosting an open forum on the water fluoridation issue at PWI. I hope that many of you can attend! We'll also broadcast over the web.

Congrats on the big 4-0, Alex! Your wisdom exceeds your age :-)

xoxo

That's correct. At this point i'm not planning to be in town until the night of 7 May. Do what works for y'all, and if i'm in town i'll be there!

Happy birthfest to you, Alex! Many blessings for a most amazing new decade!

Yay-excited for a reunion-in person and virtual! I am out of town May 3rd-May 7th -celebrating my 41st bday (wow!) with my sister and nieces. So hopefully this can take place when I am back, if not I will join by skype :)

I would love to have people at my house too. It will be empty besides me for three weeks. I am also happy to go somewhere else if folks prefer. 

Alex-happy birthday!!

Kai

hey all beautiful humans ~

Yes to a skype time for far away folks!  and my preference for a hang time reunion would be when karlita returns, (i also have a community meeting on sunday eves i forgot about when talking with alex...) 
so wondering about throwing out the date May 8th in the eve instead ?

Hi All,

I have class until 6pm on Sunday, May 5 and class until 10:30pm on Wednesday, May 8. A potluck sounds like fun.

(Happy Birthday, Alex!)

Hey everyone,

So, it looks like there won't be a full complement of all of us in the area to gather until after May 7th, and May 8th doesn't look the best of Christopher ... so how do Thursday May 9th or Friday 10th work for people? ... the second MAPW residency starts on the 11th and goes on until the 22nd, so it would be great if we could catch up together before that ... but of course we can we lots more reunions in the future too! ... And it would be great to Skype in too with those who can't be with us in PDX ...

Looking forward to whenever whatever ...
Alex

Thanks all for considering my schedule! And I hate to be difficult, but I have class on Thursday the 9th until 10:30pm.

I appreciate you trying to accommodate me; you all are great. Because I'm the one with the scheduling issues, I'm okay with missing the potluck. Perhaps we can do something another time. 

Love,
C

Ok, so Friday doesn't work well for Christopher after 5pm, so he's saying just to do whatever and maybe he can drop in.
    If we all bring our portable electronic communications devices, maybe we can even have a full Skype face on each screen! :D

Friends,

I would love to make the trek down to Portland for a grand reunion.
If we were to organize a reunion on a Wednesday or Thursday evening, especially during the second week of May, I would love to participate/play/share/love.

I love reading the stories and accounts of everyone, as they trickle in... continue sharing.

Love, love, love --
Lauren

with the MAPW residency coming up, it would be most ideal for me to do it during that time.  it doesn't sound like it would work for lauren though.  my vote would be for friday 5/17 after Arny's class.

so much love to you all!!

Hey everyone,

I'm so happy that it looks like one way or another at least a number of us will be able to get together before too long!

What I'm personally thinking right now is that Thursday 9th might be the best day ... seems like it might be the only good opportunity for Lauren and would also work for quite a few others of us ...

My feeling is that I'm not quite so sure about setting something up for during the residency ... there's a certain flow and intensity to it that can somewhat consume one's attention and it would maybe be nice to have our reunion separate from that ...

But, depending on the flow, we could also think of having a more spontaneous gathering during the residency as well and open it up to our cohort too ... just a thought ... another thing is that if we are going to have a specifically Intensive reunion it might be a bit odd to have a process work gathering during the residency and not invite the cohort ...

Well, those are simply my current thoughts ... I'm really open to what anyone has to suggest and hopefully a natural drift will emerge ...and of course it will be great if those who can't make it in person can Skype in too!

Lots of love to all,

Alex

Hi all,
This is so lovely, thank you.
Briefly for now, I'd love to attend.  Thursday May 9th would be improbable, although not impossible for me.  Friday the 10th would be absolutely possible.  Those who are coordinating, do what you will with blessings.
So great to "hear" your voices.
More soon.
Love,
rain

Thursday 9th is good for me, I can make the 10th too, tho would be great if Lauren and Rain could both join. Amy, you could stay at Nick & I for sure.

 

Warm warm love, imminently departing from Scotland...

thank you to everyone for sharing their thoughts.
it seems like the consensus is to go with either thursday 9th or friday 10th ... apart from myself, it seems the folks who would be able to make at least one of these days are:
nick, karlita, paola, kai, karen, rain, lauren and christopher
what i suggest is that we each write in with our availability and preference (if any) for either day and see what the general drift is ... also perhaps we could add whether we have a stronger or simply a slight preference for one or other day ...
for myself: either evening works for me and i find myself torn between the two days ... on the one hand i would really love to see lauren, who can only do thursday is coming from furthest away and has less opportunity to visit portland than the rest of us ... and on the other hand it seems like both rain (and i think) christopher, would be able to make it on the friday but not the thursday ... so i'm equally open to either day ...
also, if no clear consensus emerges can anyone think of a 'nonlinear' intuitive way of consulting the dao that they would like to share?
lots of love!
alex

Alex, thanks for moving us along here in a helpful way!

I'm available either night. I would tend to favor Thursday if that's the only night Lauren can come, especially since Christopher told me he's not available after 5pm on Friday anyway and since he & Rain could *potentially* manage to join us on Thursday after all. Just my two cents.

Perhaps we could also get together with Portland locals more informally during the intensive, which would allow Amy to join in--not to mention also some folks who might not be able to say hi on Skype during the first opportunity? We could give Skype via smartphone a try from anywhere, and many of us will have our devices handy anyway. But that's a chat for another time, perhaps.

Looking forward to seeing any of you!

Yes, thanks all for helping to clarify best times for us to meet. I am equally good with Thursday and Friday, and feel torn about which day would be best. Arny style someone could spin a pen ;)

I would also love another spontaneous gathering when Amy is in town!

hey y'all,

the way things are shaping up it seems like thursday 9th would be the best day for our reunion ... looks like karen and lauren can only do thursday and there is still a possibility that christopher and rain might be able to make it too ... and i think it would also be great to be open to another spontaneous gathering during the residency too! -- please confirm if this sounds good ...

how do folks feel about time and venue? ... i can certainly make my place available -- however i realize that my housemate tomo will have just got back from japan and may be a bit tired and jet lagged from the journey -- it should be okay though, but i'm open to all suggestions ...
much looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thursday the 9th works for me.

Alex, thanks for offering to host this. If your house becomes unavailable, I can still potentially hold it at the house where I'm staying in North Portland. Paola, Dennis (MAPW3) and Teng Nging (MAPW4) will also be here. It's right on the yellow MAX line (Killingsworth stop), and bike accessible from Williams or Interstate. I can send more info about that if necessary.

Love,
Nick

Thursday works great for me. Thanks for everyone's patience in working this out!

Seems like Kai also offered her home? I hope i'm not saying that and being wrong! Anyway, i know her housemate is out of town that week, which might make it an ideal spot. I also think, quite frankly, that it would be ideal to keep it to intensive people for this one if possible, as dearly as i love Teng Nging.

Yes, my house is definitely available to host us all, and it would be my pleasure :) I do have clients on Thursday tho, so if folks are coming here we will need to start 6ish...Scratch that actually, Karlita will be staying here, so it can happen earlier and I will just arrive 6ish. 
If someone has a strong feeling to do it elsewhere, that is also fine!
So excited to see you all!

Hello, lovelies --

Thank you all for keeping me so close to your hearts and schedules. I could also come down for a Wednesday or Friday, though Thursday seems to have consensus.

Would anyone offer me a floor or a corner for Thursday evening? 

Is anyone taking Amy's class on the 22/29th?

Love, Lauren

Now you are talking.  I wish I could be there.  But I have downloaded Skype so hopefully I'll be able to join you that way.  My Skype name is berry.dilley.  I saw something about a group setting.  Does the Winter Intensive have a group setting?  Hugs to all, and I'll dance here and be with you that way.  Hugs, Berry

Hello friends! 

So, I'm thinking Thursday's reunion may be best at another location with Nick's wish for music and dance (and I concur!). Kiva will be downstairs and she needs to be asleep by 9pm for school the next day, so we wouldn't be able to rock out much past 9. With that in mind, shall we gather at Nick's or at your place Alex? If we are good being quieter past 9, we can def meet at my place (we could sing softly, and dance with our tippy toes)? What do you think??? Also what are people's thoughts about when we want to gather? I am free after 6pm. 

LOVE,

Kai

Hi Everyone!

I can certainly make my home available Thursday ... however I will be attending the Dalai Lama's seminar at Portland University and am not sure when I will be back home as there may be people I would like to connect with afterwards ... also I'm not sure my place is ideal for dance ... but I'm sure we can figure things out one way or another and it will be so wonderful to see each other however things work out ...

Love,
Alex

I checked with Dennis and the other housemates and we're open to having a get-together on Thursday night. The only catch there is that two other PWI folks are already in the house, so we'd probably open it up to other PWI students and grads in the area... especially MAPW students who will be in town for the residency that starts May 11.

It's a great place for a potluck, huge porch, nice garden area, we can broadcast on Skype to those around the world... and, of course, loud music! (Also, fireplace if it gets cooler at night.)

It's 5235 N Maryland Ave: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=5235+N+Maryland+Ave,+Portland,+OR&hl=en&ll=45.53906,-122.648792&spn=0.077432,0.163937&sll=45.560978,-122.681388&sspn=0.009675,0.020492&oq=5235+&hnear=5235+N+Maryland+Ave,+Portland,+Multnomah,+Oregon+97217&t=m&z=13

Anytime is fine. We could probably start around 6:30.

It doesn't have to be a dance party rager, but it would be hard to keep our group quiet even talking-wise after 9pm. And Alex, it sounds like you might be busy into the evening.

Maybe we should all vote?

This sounds good to me. The house is big enough for intimate connecting between us.

Provokes an Intensive gather later in the residency when Amy and Chris can join!

After writing that last message, I thought I should represent the part of myself that feels nervous about hosting right now -- while still struggling to get settled in Portland (mostly work-related), and preparing for more intensive process work training starting this weekend.

I'm still open to having it at this house. I just wanted to at least speak this voice out loud. Maybe what I mean is I don't know how much I can offer in terms of planning or running things. But the space is available.

I was nervous at the suggestion of having a bigger party or even with just people not from the intensive around. It seemed like more than i wanted to deal with; i actually considered whether i'd still go or whether i'd have an easy way to leave.

I decided to lighten up, and somehow that just worked, but i am glad you mentioned this. I don't think anything about it has to be a big deal because people will just be happy to gather, but let us know if there's anything we can do to make it easier on the hosts. Thanks for making yourself available in spite of the pressure, Nick.

Lovelies, thank-you for your open reflections... I am happy keeping things small too and Nick, if food is potlucked, the sound system available, I figure the Tao will take care of th rest. If there is anything else, please let me know. I will head in from PWI around 5 and happy to help with anything.

hey y'all,

the way things are shaping up it seems like thursday 9th would be the best day for our reunion ... looks like karen and lauren can only do thursday and there is still a possibility that christopher and rain might be able to make it too ... and i think it would also be great to be open to another spontaneous gathering during the residency too! -- please confirm if this sounds good ...

how do folks feel about time and venue? ... i can certainly make my place available -- however i realize that my housemate tomo will have just got back from japan and may be a bit tired and jet lagged from the journey -- it should be okay though, but i'm open to all suggestions ...
much looking forward to seeing everyone!

Unless we were also considering meeting before the evening on Friday--i guess that's another factor. Maybe we could have a brunch party, Lauren, Christopher, AND Rain! ;D

I'm available either night. I would tend to favor Thursday if that's the only night Lauren can come, especially since�Christopher told me he's not available after 5pm on Friday anyway and since�he & Rain could *potentially* manage to join us on Thursday after all. Just my two cents.
�
Perhaps we could also get together with Portland locals more informally during the intensive, which would allow Amy to join in--not to mention also some folks who might not be able to say hi on Skype during the first opportunity? We could give Skype via smartphone a try from anywhere, and many of us will have our devices handy anyway. But that's a chat for another time, perhaps.

Looking forward to seeing any of you!

thank you to everyone for sharing their thoughts.
it seems like the consensus is to go with either thursday 9th or friday 10th ... apart from myself, it seems the folks who would be able to make at least one of these days are:
nick, karlita, paola, kai, karen, rain, lauren and christopher
what i suggest is that we each write in with our availability and preference (if any) for either day and see what the general drift is ... also perhaps we could add whether we have a stronger or simply a slight preference for one or other day ...
for myself: either evening works for me and i find myself torn between the two days ... on the one hand i would really love to see lauren, who can only do thursday is coming from furthest away and has less opportunity to visit portland than the rest of us ... and on the other hand it seems like both rain (and i think) christopher, would be able to make it on the friday but not the thursday ... so i'm equally open to either day ...
also, if no clear consensus emerges can anyone think of a 'nonlinear' intuitive way of consulting the dao that they would like to share?
lots of love!

This is so lovely, thank you.
Briefly for now, I'd love to attend.� Thursday May 9th would be improbable, although not impossible for me.� Friday the 10th would be absolutely possible.� Those who are coordinating, do what you will with blessings.

So great to "hear" your voices.

Hey everyone,

I'm so happy that it looks like one way or another at least a number of us will be able to get together before too long!

What I'm personally thinking right now is that Thursday 9th might be the best day ... seems like it might be the only good opportunity for Lauren and would also work for quite a few others of us ...

My feeling is that I'm not quite so sure about setting something up for during the residency ... there's a certain flow and intensity to it that can somewhat consume one's attention and it would maybe be nice to have our reunion separate from that ...

But, depending on the flow, we could also think of having a more spontaneous gathering during the residency as well and open it up to our cohort too ... just a thought ... another thing is that if we are going to have a specifically Intensive reunion it might be a bit odd to have a process work gathering during the residency and not invite the cohort ...

Well, those are simply my current thoughts ... I'm really open to what anyone has to suggest and hopefully a natural drift will emerge ...and of course it will be great if those who can't make it in person can Skype in too!

Lots of love to all,

Alex

Yes, thanks all for helping to clarify best times for us to meet. I am equally good with Thursday and Friday, and feel torn about which day would be best. Arny style someone could spin a pen ;)

Unless we were also considering meeting before the evening on Friday--i guess that's another factor. Maybe we could have a brunch party, Lauren, Christopher, AND Rain! ;D

Alex, thanks for moving us along here in a helpful way!

I'm available either night. I would tend to favor Thursday if that's the only night Lauren can come, especially since�Christopher told me he's not available after 5pm on Friday anyway and since�he & Rain could *potentially* manage to join us on Thursday after all. Just my two cents.

�

Perhaps we could also get together with Portland locals more informally during the intensive, which would allow Amy to join in--not to mention also some folks who might not be able to say hi on Skype during the first opportunity? We could give Skype via smartphone a try from anywhere, and many of us will have our devices handy anyway. But that's a chat for another time, perhaps.

Looking forward to seeing any of you!

thank you to everyone for sharing their thoughts.
it seems like the consensus is to go with either thursday 9th or friday 10th ... apart from myself, it seems the folks who would be able to make at least one of these days are:
nick, karlita, paola, kai, karen, rain, lauren and christopher
what i suggest is that we each write in with our availability and preference (if any) for either day and see what the general drift is ... also perhaps we could add whether we have a stronger or simply a slight preference for one or other day ...
for myself: either evening works for me and i find myself torn between the two days ... on the one hand i would really love to see lauren, who can only do thursday is coming from furthest away and has less opportunity to visit portland than the rest of us ... and on the other hand it seems like both rain (and i think) christopher, would be able to make it on the friday but not the thursday ... so i'm equally open to either day ...
also, if no clear consensus emerges can anyone think of a 'nonlinear' intuitive way of consulting the dao that they would like to share?
lots of love!

...but don't plan it around me...there's always the future!!

Hi all,
This is so lovely, thank you.

Briefly for now, I'd love to attend.� Thursday May 9th would be improbable, although not impossible for me.� Friday the 10th would be absolutely possible.� Those who are coordinating, do what you will with blessings.


So great to "hear" your voices.
More soon.
Love,
rain

Hey everyone,

I'm so happy that it looks like one way or another at least a number of us will be able to get together before too long!

What I'm personally thinking right now is that Thursday 9th might be the best day ... seems like it might be the only good opportunity for Lauren and would also work for quite a few others of us ...

My feeling is that I'm not quite so sure about setting something up for during the residency ... there's a certain flow and intensity to it that can somewhat consume one's attention and it would maybe be nice to have our reunion separate from that ...

But, depending on the flow, we could also think of having a more spontaneous gathering during the residency as well and open it up to our cohort too ... just a thought ... another thing is that if we are going to have a specifically Intensive reunion it might be a bit odd to have a process work gathering during the residency and not invite the cohort ...

Well, those are simply my current thoughts ... I'm really open to what anyone has to suggest and hopefully a natural drift will emerge ...and of course it will be great if those who can't make it in person can Skype in too!

Lots of love to all,

Alex

with the MAPW residency coming up, it would be most ideal for me to do it during that time. �it doesn't sound like it would work for lauren though. �my vote would be for friday 5/17 after Arny's class.

so much love to you all!! ��

Friends,

I would love to make the trek down to Portland for a grand reunion.
If we were to organize a reunion on a Wednesday or Thursday evening, especially during the second week of May, I would love to participate/play/share/love.

I love reading the stories and accounts of everyone, as they trickle in... continue sharing.

Love, love, love --

Lauren
