Meeting of Tribes

At Spirited Work, a 7 year experience of OST as a learning community of
practice, that met every season for 3&1/2 days and were linked
in-line...our circle was permeable, open to everyone. And we had amazing
appearances of “strangers” who contributed deeply to the well being of the
whole!

AND we had a circle of Stewards that re-upped each year: each of whom had a
personal inner work practice, who took responsibility for Spirited Work
infrastructure and learning about the nature of an OST collective. As Peggy
Holman said: “Stewards got the SW intensive!”

Hope this helps. Love & optimal health to all of you!!  Anne
