I am awash and abuzz with astonishing learning and reverberations from this amazing 6 days.

I remember in our small group your eyes looking so soft and yet as though on fire, burning quietly with something from within you, and you spoke of the love you felt, felt for all of us, and you seemed so sure of this love, seemed peacefully at home in it... I felt very held by you then, as I felt held by you all, the whole of the CB circle - quite how much I am only beginning to realise now that the circle's gone ....

In order for me to give you the space 'to be you', there were things I needed to 'let go off' within me. However, there was one thing I found I couldn't let go of.... that 'one thing' was love. In finding 'love' just being there on it's own, with nothing else in its way, I believe I have now found my truth. To me, the definition of this 'love' is that 'it is not an emotion' but a 'way of being'.

I've learned a lot about trust with you guys. I guess this was the first time I stayed with a group and didn't exclude myself. What an incredible feeling of permission and acceptance... and also how scary - so much safer to keep my distance. I want to explore this feeling of trust, and so I'm taking a few baby steps.

The possibilities of learning how to be human by taking risks and surrendering to the consequences of the risk.

Greater ability to be open and honest about myself; raised awareness of my innate prejudices and how wrong  they may be; special relationships with some great people; a lot of fun; I learned a bit more about being in the present moment and speaking when moved (but I am a slow learner in these areas); a bit more freedom to speak up about my own feelings even though I know they will upset some people and that is ok; acceptance by and of others.
