I Am I Here to Be Right, or to Be Collaborative?

Space Holding: an Essential Skillset for All

I see three kinds of space holders in my world: The first kind are people who have a high degree of competence for holding space: for listening, being patient, giving people in their lives a lot of room to share, feel and speak. Until they hit a limiting edge. These…

The Cost of Living

I worked in a superstore in a past life, and I remember one day sitting on my break, up in the staff room overlooking the huge store and ‘seeing’ what would be included in the cost of each thing sold there: my wages, the wages of my manager, and her…

A New Cult for Childhood

What is it like to have been raised in a Cult? Yes, I am asking you. You weren’t raised in a cult? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? A cult is a place where unless you hand over your life and/or your money, you are excluded. Where unless you tow the line…
