Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: vibes watcher/process observer

[David Heimann (heimann]

Hi,

	We also have a vibes-watcher at our general meetings, who does 
similarly to what you describe.  Also, a participant who wishes to share 
an emotion can hold up an orange card to do so, which takes precedence 
over any other discussion item except a process/point-of-order item (red 
card).

Regards,
David Heimann

We have a "Keeper of the Heart", whose job it is to attend to the
participants' emotional well being.

Also, anyone at the meeting can hold up an orange card at any time to
make a "Keeper of the Heart" comment.  Like Sharingwood, we stop and
process it immediately.
