Online space as Sacred space

March 16th Gizmo conference call notes and reflections
Participants: Ria, George, Ashley

"What is the field calling for?" in relation to an online space?

Below is what unfolded as we focused in on what is calling, what is emerging, how we are connected, …

We held in our awareness that:
The most inspiring outcome that we could imagine would be that each person felt truly seen and heard for the wisdom that they bring to the group and that the connections between us would be strengthened, forming coherent bonds and the beginnings of a trusting collective that is inspired to work together. If we show up in the call with a passionate curiosity for each other's wisdom, talents, and how we can combine them for meeting our significant challenges, we WILL realize that potential, no doubt.

It has been named that we currently have 2 entities, there is the nexus-site-as-it-exists-right-now -- the life and shape that it has, the audience that is engaging it. Then, there is the vision-nexus-site-as-it-could-be -- a sacred online space available to serve the evolutionary edge and individuals and groups that feel called to be connected to it and one another (or something like that). And there is a HUGE gap between the two.

The current purpose of our togetherness (online, with voice, and in person) is to deepen our vision of what could be, sharing with one another the insight, wisdom, and inquiries that we know to be important, dreaming together the greatest thing we could imagine, resting in silent stillness, letting go of our expectations and attachments, sensing what is emerging, and collaborating to give form to that which is alive with essence.

We are guided by our personal life callings and synergistic connections with the Nexus mission. What is your life work calling you to do? Is there a relationship with the Nexus mission? How do our individual visions give way to a shared intention?

We intend to embrace deep engagement with each other’s vision and a generative conversation for discovering and supporting our highest potential, individual and collective.

We are learning how to work together, listening with curiosity to each other's voices, seeing with new eyes what wants to emerge. Inviting creativity, boldness, passion, and fun we move forward with a sense of responsibility and integrity, our attention is aligned with a larger whole. We notice that when we sense into the whole, the practical wisdom arises without our added doing effort.

Some questions and observations: What are the needs of the community? Are we paying attention and responding? How do we hold and create and then invite into a sacred space? How do we imagine a sacred space? 'Our personal life callings' are the other side of the same coin of 'what are the needs of the community/world?' Whatever the needs of the community are or not, we can only bring our personal life calling, our own passion, nothing else! And it turns out that the world needs it; great!

We are committed to honoring as much as we can the integrity of the emerging social field of evolutionary transformation, and from that place of mindfulness experimenting with the best ways we can connect our minds and hearts, and accelerate our individual and collective evolution.

We acknowledge that co-inquiry into mutually inspiring questions would be a great contribution to our collective intelligence and wisdom. Perhaps this is the core of our togetherness practice: Co-inquiry into mutually inspiring questions. Perhaps to begin with we only play with questions that are mutually inspiring to those who are present and let that be the Guide for our rhythm and agendas. That feels juicey!

Do you resonate with anything that you are reading here? Do you feel called to join us in these conversations (online or on the calls)? The next online call has yet to be scheduled but we would love to hear your thoughts, insights or inquiries here or at the experimental wiki.
