<DIV>At the "OT" conference at The Evergreen State College several years ago, I learned that animals are hanging all around the space, waiting to be invited in. Or at least their voices can be spoken through us, if we are willing. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I went on long walks through the forest to the shore of the sound and brought back so much that informed my speaking and listening during the event. John Seed's practice of the "council of all beings" comes to mind too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm a big fan of taking "two feet" out into the natural world to broaden our deliberations.</DIV>

<DIV>during one of the closing circles here at the Shire, a common night hawk circled above us for quite a while...we had gathered around the fire and it felt like our circle was blessed by the hawk, very magical! :)</DIV>

I have had eagles soar around, through and past our gathering places (even twice in the heart of the city), I have had birds trapped in buildings where we were opening space, and lots of times birds stop by in unusual poses. Once during a closing circle, a gull alighted on a window ledge and peered in. Every time someone finished speaking, the gull laughed. By the time we had heard from all thirty people in the room, we were in hysterics. The gull left after the circle.<BR><BR>Chris<BR><BR>
