Great photo. It illustrates the dilemma: Truly saintly people (these days) show up silly in photos. Judy and I stopped to visit Jan last summer at her little house. We interviewed her, tried to talk about the past, her / their ICA legacy. Failed. All she would talk about was the Pachamama movement and transition towns and how they had a way to get people almost as excited as we could back in the day. When I asked push questions, she went deeper into how they facilitated and that this could move people / communities / groups forward. She also told the story about moving into a religious house and how Abe's boss agreed to support them in doing that. Wow . . .

I’ve been sorting photos and found this picture of Abe and Jan that I took at a January 1994 celebration of the ICA Network which evolved into the IAF – International Association of Facilitators. I love the picture and had it out to send to
Janice but instead will send it to all of you as we celebrate the lives and contributions of this spirit couple.
In gratitude for our community,
