Background
We have talked, wondered and met toghether for 2-3
years, seeking ways to meet our goals. I
appreciate the connection, community, learning and development we have
achieved :-) At the same time I have unmet needs of focus
and clarity on what to do, and because of that partly lack of life and inspiration.
I want to move
on, but first take a deep breath and connect to what is alive inside
and harvest learnings. We have strong
human resources with members' years of experience learning, living and teaching NVC. I would like to find a way to see that spread to more
people in our region. Our economic
resources are limited, we are dispersed in different countries in our
daily activities and I do not see the capacity to do regional projects
together at the moment. An organization needs a
concrete output as Annewiek once told
us.
So I ask myself what activities are possible to
fulfill without physically meeting nor co-operate directly on something
big. I want us to
produce just a few things that are simple,
achieveable and that gives relatively
quick, understandable, and
concrete products. (Later we can do more and bigger stuff).
Well, when I started to learn
NVC I was searching the Web for experiences. I still remember I finding small
stories among others written by Inbal Kashtan. That opened my eyes of how to use
NVC in daily situations and gave me
inspiration.
Proposal
So I propose us to
1. write short stories from daily life situations that people recognize, our
own and course participants' stories, and
2. publish them on the website of each country in mothertounge and in
English for the NBC-site; and
3. by
life-enriching e-mails to the network
(monthly or bimonthly) .
Write the
stories when they are alive (they don't have to be "perfect"), and get them
going to the webmaster, (who I request to publish
them).
By this I hope we can
have more dynamics, inspiration, life &
learning among ourselves & the people reading
them.
As stories spread,
hopefully the receivers will find them meaningful & forward them to others
--> the network will grow.
Any opinion about this
will be well received by me.
It will be difficult for
me to participate tonight as I have gourmet-club and am without Internet, I
wish you a good meeting :-)
Warmly
