"We know what conversations we shall have..."

Imagine that all of what I heard over the 4 days in the salon was written down in one document, and that I could copy here and there a few higlightened sentences and paste them in to one new paragraph – then that paragraph would read like this:

What is  the edge of our community now?
We have co-created, supported and witnessed emergence of capatity for engaging collective intelligence, social creativity and community.
We can trust that collectively, and on the level of organizing ourselves, we do know what conversations we shall have to sustain our community in action.
We call into being that which can now be named.
I see a bodhi sangha.

Coming home, reflecting on the days, and sharing the impressions with other, this is what has become clear in my mind:

Of the many conversations we shall have to sustain our community in action, one is about being an awakening community.

Many conversations so far in many settings and circles have been on what it possibly could be like to be a community of awakened, and other conversations have been about how to become a community of awakened. What I learned from ES2 was that now is the time to have the conversations on what it is to be such a community.

There are many sub-themes I can think of, but most of all the purpose of supporting ourselves by confirming sometimes confusing experiences stands in the foreground for me.

”What do we experience, being awakening communities?”  

(”Community” can refer to many meanings – our known-by-name community of people engaged in sharing the great stories; our wider community of shared intentions; our human family community; our species community;...)
