to a Vippasana retreat in Igatpuri, Maharashtra, India –
near our old project in Vaviharsh. This retreat was followed
very quickly by my first experience with M. Scott Peck’s
community building process which is a deeply reflective
structure. I experienced a reconnection with spirit and a
reconnection with my vocation.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR:
rgb(20,20,20)">Everything changed, it was like putting back
on my glasses after several years of working without them.
I did not realize what I missed until I had it. What had
been missing was my ability/willingness to reflect with
others on my interior or spirit and that of the group. This
has led me to twenty wonderful years working with colleagues
at what I have considered a much more profound level
striving in each encounter to hold the space for dialogue
and deeper exploration based on the wisdom of each member
(including listening to my own voice).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR:

with several exciting communities exploring leadership
development and organizational change: Appreciative Inquiry,
Strength Based leadership, Theory U are examples,
constantly striving to combine this with our work in
participatory process, contradictional thinking and image
change. I feel I'm on the edge of a breakthrough that won't
quite come.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR:
