This dialogue group is an invitation to explore together. Kevin Shuey has a good way to articulate this: "This arena is a paradox and a compromise in that we have chosen to use language and concepts to get beyond language and concepts - or at least to point in that direction. To that end, our conversations are an attempt to share what we are seeing or have seen and (especially) to ask questions that help each other to look deeper - beyond our own barriers, conditioning, and beliefs. At least that’s my understanding. What are you seeing that you would like to share?"
I really don't want to put any boundaries on how we can participate. Meaning, ask questions, express where you're at, and what you're seeing. Everything is up for exploration. I would like the dialogue to be as spontaneous as possible, letting it go where it may. Maybe something new will show up.

From Dan:
I am fully with the spirit Paul and Kevin are expressing here about moving with the spontaneous. What this is saying to me is freedom to come as we are, which is undefined. So even if I come to the dialogue with an implicit format or intention in mind (such as, don't have an agenda!), this is also moving in me spontaneously. In this way, my ongoing agenda might suddenly reveal itself, spontaneously, without needing to be judged. So having an agenda is simply part of what is happening spontaneously, and is not preventing our moving with the spontaneous. In freedom, -Dan
