FW: Tolle Group - Feedback Requested

[craig sheehan]

Hi Craig, Thanks for the invitation for feedback. I think Lara's suggestions have merit. I think variety in meetings would add that element of change  that  we hope to inspire in all. Dr. Chan's talk last night was a good example. I believe people should decide whether they are 'beginners' or not based on there own assessment (we would hate to encourage a heirarchial system to our group). Also many have deepened in other walks before they  are introduced to Eckhart and could offer much to an 'advanced' group discussion. Perhaps a more deepened person could faciltate the 'beginners' discussion group thus providing guidance and acquiring skills to 'chair' the larger gatherings (you've got  to take a sicky sooner or later). I like the thought of us all meeting together rather than separate nights for 'advanced' and 'beginners' and am conscious of the need to not loook elitist to any new members. We should be free to float between groups to find our own level of growth and speed of advancement. Should members feel the desire to consult in more personal groups they may wish to utilise the Three Monkeys or a more private venue but I think to divide more than the above suggestions could risk fracturing a formula that yoursef and others have nurtured for so long. However I  am a strong believer in refreshing a winnning formula from time to time. Hope this adds to the debate.

Hi Craig,

Just some quick feed back

it was good having some advanced people in the group when I was a beginner as then it helped with questions, I guess also how we evuate wether people are advanced or not, but Lara, could be right the intimicy and help from the group has gone due to the large number as expected, but its still great.

oh and studying the books again would be very helpful

cheers
