Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Conference Closing Ceremonies

[Monty Berman (mberman]

To all,
        I've been reading some (not all) of the comments on the Closing 
Ceremony at the recent conference and found them thoughtful, insightful and, 
most of all, respectful. It occurs to me that more of this latter aspect 
may be what was 
needed in the ending ritual, that is, some stated recognition that what 
was forthcoming might be incongruent with some of the others' 
orientations. I think it would serve me to remember this on the occasions 
I offer an experience "for all" present.
