I will have to reflect more on this, but I sense from my experience so far, many of our collective spaces formalized into organizations become easy places to hide, rather then hone the leadership we carry, too often in our shadow bag. </div><div><br></div><div>So to me, following your beautiful invitation Ashely, I come to this circle to witness, and the act of witnessing now, is hosting myself into that sense of responsibility that comes so easy when I hear the calling to be with and of this circle we each are born into, call it earth or humanity or...? no matter, its the act of seeing and listening into meaningful and deep callings, like this question.That is passion at the center of responsibility for sure. Riffing on this, tonight I have no opinion, only song...ears and a keen sense of the leadership in our collective shadow. I wonder if my question would nt now be, "What is leadership have we keep in our collective shadow that we now need to call into the center"....</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Dec5, at 6:13 PM, Julie Caldwell wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#008000"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#004080">an invitation (which is like a mandala --- why, who, what question to ask)</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#004080"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#004080">Julie Caldwell</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#004080"><a href="http://www.emergingfuturesyouth.net">www.emergingfuturesyouth.net</a></font></div></span></font></div></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br><div><div>On Dec 5, 2009, at 12:24 PM, Christine Whitney Sanchez wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>A circle.<br><br>Christine<div><br></div><div>Sent from my iPhone</div></div><div><br>On Dec 5, 2009, at 11:01 AM, ashley cooper <<a href="mailto:mail.easilyamazed@gmail.com">mail.easilyamazed@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="gmail_quote">Hello,<br><br>I'm curious...
