I'm so excited you're going to be at Winter Intensive 2014 Kanya!! ... and as some of you know, I'm also going to be doing the first 3 weeks, before I have to take off for the 4th residency of the MAPW program ... I'm also looking for another more sustained immersion in the fundamentals of process work in developing my skills ... Our 2013 Intensive was magical but for me was most about simply exploring process work without too many preconceptions or specific expectations -- now that I have built more of a foundation and have embarked on the MAPW however, I'm approaching the intensive in a different spirit and I hope it will be just as magical in different ways!
As for places to stay, I am currently myself in transition and looking for a new place to live but I will also put out the word for you Kanya ... how do you feel about neighborhood? ... I might be able to come up with one or two possibilities in the South East where I live but the NW is of course most convenient for PWI ...
My own living situation is complicated right now! ... I had been in the process of deeply simplifying my life, giving away a lot of my possessions, moving into a single sublet room with a room mate and getting my own house ready to rent out ... the situation I was moving too initially seemed ideal -- just the location I wanted, nice furnished room, very reasonable rent with all utilities included, and a flexible month to month lease ...
The funny thing was that I was just feeling so much resistance to completely transitioning over, in spite of my lease having begun ... initially I thought it was all about emotional attachments and associations with my house, where I have lived for 6 years, as long as I have lived anywhere in my adult life ... however this week I just realized that the real reason is that the room mate from whom I was subletting is actually a little bit crazy and I just can't live with him! ... even though I have had some great experiences living with unusual people! -- what I had originally thought were fairly minor oddities turned out to be representative of more than that ...
So I am now all of a sudden recalibrating ... seeing what the New Year will bring and feeling strangely excited about it, although also stressed ... and life also feels full of promise in other ways as I look towards 2014, feeling wide open about what it may bring ...
Well, most of us in our small group recently had a skype reunion which was a lot of fun and I hope to hear from/be connecting with more of y'all in the year to come! ... Sorry I'm not on facebook but I would love to hear from folks one way or another ...
Love to all,
Alex
