Katelyn Field Garcia I think I might be a bit late to the party, but I would love to work through this with someone. I'm interested in doing it for myself, and I also work in a community center and am interested in potentially facilitating some kind of workshop on the topic with our families. [ more ]

Meet a member through a Relational 1:1
Maria D. [OPEN] I'd like to see if anyone is interested in weaving in the context of STEM, especially mathematics. It's likely easier to look for weavers among math lovers than the other way around, yet low-probability encounters often spark more joy, so here we are! I live in the Research Triangle, NC. Bonus fractal cats just for fun [ more ]

Share your Story of Self with weavers
Nathan Hult It has been awhile since I checked out this storytelling thread. I really enjoyed your sharing, Rachel, of how you have worked hard to weave the various parts of your life together. I also grew up in an area where I was in a distinct religious minority in Boston. My dad was a pastor in a Lutheran church, so I had ample ammunition to argue with my friends over the fine points of theology, usually feeling that I had won the argument. There was only one truth about God and the eternal, and I... [ more ]

Elizabeth Dishman Thank you for sharing your story, Rachel! I'm struck by the difference between "mold" and "weave" that you intuitively pursued. Lots of complex threads you've integrated so skillfully (and stubbornly πŸ™‚ . Bravo. [ more ]

Share your experience of sharing your CareMap with weavers
Rajiv Mehta Hi @Andy Swindler . Thanks for posting your reflections. I'll be sure to share your comments with Alison, Susannah and Luke. I'm sure they'll be delighted to know they've had such an impact. It is often eye-opening to share your CareMaps with others in our web of care, especially if you remain open to discovering that their perspectives differ from yours. Like your experience I think we're often surprised to learn how much positive impact we're having on others. Perhaps we just don't speak... [ more ]
Andy Swindler First, reflecting on the videos from this section: Alison Wagner - I felt a profound sadness when she talked about her and her friends' realization of how little care was flowing back into them as mid-life mothers caring for two other generations. I can relate in my own life how easy it is to feel like I'm giving more than receiving care. And then I was heartened when she talked about how they used this realization to redefine their friendships and provide more care for each other. Susannah... [ more ]

What have you learned when conversations get hard?
Maria Oah That's a really great learning, @Carol Wilson . There's so much power in slowing down and noticing what's happening in a conversation. [ more ]
Carol Wilson I have learned that it is helpful to be an observer of the conversation, even when a participant, which allows me to stay curious and interested in the other and direct my personal investment to our relationship rather than to my participation and position. [ more ]
Roger Gustafson One major learning I've received in difficult conversations is my tendency to close down or defend when conflict arises. I need to be alert to this tendency and challenge myself to stay with the conversation when I sense it rising up. Another learning is the freedom to choose how I see a hard conversation. I can choose the perspective of seeing it as an unpleasant exchange or as an opportunity to learn. [ more ]
