Adelahs first month…
Honestly it was not as hard as I thought. Of corse healing from a c-section was a pain BUT all Adelah really did the first month was eat, sleep and poop. So I feel like the only thing I really did was breastfeed, change diapers, and wash & sterilize bottles. The hardest part was staying indoors as much as possible and making sure everyone washed their hands. I literally kicked people out of my house for coughing because it was flu season and I was not even gonna risk it. Of corse afterwards I felt horrible but this mom was a Momma Bear x10 and was not gonna risk having my newborn get sick. I spent a lot of time dressing her up, people tell me I act like if I have a doll and that's what it felt like. the first month. During the first month I napped when she napped and she napped a lot it was amazing! The first week I had help but once Ruben wen back to work I was all alone. I feel like being alone helped me heal faster and had my mommy instincts kick in FAST.
I am in love with her, I could stare at her al day! I have never known a love like this and I already want more kids! Obviously I am gonna wait but I am already looking forward to having more, if I can feel this for one imagine how this love will multiply with my other kids. My world already revolves around this little human and I can't even begin to explain the love I feel for this not so tiny girl!
During the first month she looked at the pictures while we read her books and started listening for our voices. She smiled some but not too much, sometimes she would just glare into space while we talked to her.
I almost posted this without naming my fails, mistakes and my unknown as a new mom.
THE SECOND NIGHT- The second night in the hospital Adelah cried EVERY 30 min because she was hungry, I gave in and gave her formula because I did not want to deprive her of food. This is a BIG mistake if you want to breastfeed. I would recommend anyone who wants to breastfeed read & really inform yourself on everything you need to know about breastfeeding. IT HURTS, a layer of my nipped came off & yes it was painful. I still breastfed but only produced about an ounce so I had to substitute with formula because it just was not enough. Adelah only drank 2oz the first week and then ate 4 for the rest of the month.
FORMULA- The formula and breastmilk combo constipated her & it was sad. I ended up having to change her formula 3 times the first month because she was so sensitive and would wake up screaming because it hurt her so much to poop. The screaming/crying only lasted seconds but it was SOOOO SAD! I made an appointment and he suggested I cut off dairy from my diet and switched Adelah to Similac Alimentum. It took her a while to regulate but she finally started pooping once a day and still struggled but not as much as before.
At week 3 Adelah got clusters of acne but I thought it was an allergic reaction and freaked! Turns out she just broke out, I looked up and read as much as I could and even called the doctor about the bumps on her face. They assured me it was just normal and that 90% of babies break out because their skin is so sensitive. So apparently unless your child has a fever or the bumps bother her (meaning she is scratching or non-stop crying) it's nothing to worry about according to the doctor.
For the first whole month I would check to make sure if she was breathing during her naps. I am horrified of SIDS and constantly would move her while she slept just so I can make sure she was alive. I know that sounds crazy but…. I did it! I also checked her temperature anytime she was fussy just to make sure she wasn't sick.
Month 1 flew & here are some pictures!
Week 1
Her first bath at 2 weeks
(You have to wait until the babies umbilical cord falls off)
Some newborn pics taken at 3 weeks
The photographer asked us to take early Easter pics of her using this chic outfit ♥
Then she turned a month
Here are just some honest truths and some intel on things a new mom might want to know that no one tells you.

BEAUFORT, N.C. — Authorities say a North Carolina man has been jailed on $1 million bond after they say he kidnapped a woman, locked her in a room in his mobile home for four days and sexually assaulted her.
The Carteret County Sheriff's Office said in a news release Tuesday that 55-year-old Steven George McNeill is charged with second-degree forcible rape and first-degree kidnapping. It's not known if McNeill has an attorney.
Investigators say the unidentified woman told them she was visiting O'Neill's home last Friday, but he took her phone and locked her in a room when she tried to leave. The woman told deputies she was repeatedly assaulted during her captivity.
Authorities say the woman managed to escape and called deputies. A special response team arrived and arrested McNeill.

Nebraska Goes Smoke-Free
The statewide smoking ban takes effect on June 1, and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and local health departments are working with businesses to help them comply with Nebraska's new smoke-free law.
DHHS has developed a website with information to help businesses. The site is available at www.smokefree.ne.gov, and contains resources such as questions and answers, informational brochures and the finalized regulations.
"We want to help businesses take steps to be in compliance," said Dr. Joann Schaefer, Chief Medical Officer and Director of the Division of Public Health. "Guidance available online defines an 'indoor area' and outlines where smoking is restricted."
The act protects the public health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in indoor places and places of employment. On June 1, every indoor workplace and public place must be smoke-free.
DHHS has fielded questions about outdoor smoking areas, which are allowed by the law. Such areas must have a minimum of 20 percent of the total wall area permanently open to the outdoors. The Nebraska State Fire Marshal's Office has developed a list of construction and safety reminders to help business owners develop outdoor smoking areas. Guidance and other information is available online at www.smokefree.ne.gov.
There are limited exceptions to the law, such as facilities researching the health effects of smoking and private residences, except when they are being used as licensed child care programs.
DHHS will not inspect all businesses for compliance with the act. The law will be enforced on a complaint basis, meaning complaints from citizens will trigger inspections. In most cases, inspections will be conducted by local health departments.
An injunction can be issued against the proprietor or business requiring them to stop allowing smoking on the premises. In addition, business proprietors can be found guilty of a Class V misdemeanor (maximum $100 fine) for the first offense and a Class IV misdemeanor (minimum $100, maximum $500 fine) for second and subsequent offenses.

Some very interesting details have been revealed about the assistance given to the Libyan revolutionaries during their struggle to oust the tyrant Moammar Gadhafi. Despite what some of you think, the issues surrounding the ouster were always based upon the hatred that ordinary Libyans had towards Gadhafi. The people who started the protests were the relatives of those who had been killed in 1996 at Abu Salim prison. For many years after their loved ones had "disappeared" they were not told the truth. Even the LIFG was based more upon the ousting of Gadhafi than any other general aims regarding the ummah and the spread of Islam (at least for the men who were the former leaders and founders of the group).
One of the countries that was a big supporter of the Libyan NTC, and was in fact the first to recognize them was QATAR. Now, I need to find out more about Qatar and their aims and alliances because I do not think that everything is on the level. What has now been revealed is that Qatari soldiers did in fact join with the rebels in their struggle against Gadhafi. Everyone kept very quiet about their existence.
This seems to contradict the request that there be no boots on the ground from the NTC. However, I think that the particular request was aimed at Western powers – British, French and NATO countries in general – rather than being aimed at other Arab nations.
On top of this, it has also been revealed that Sudan supplied Misrata and other regions of Libya with weapons to use against Gadhafi. If you remember, the French did a weapons drop in the mountains region of the Berbers. Sudan chose to give the revolutionaries the weapons because Gadhafi had funded those in opposition to the government of Sudan. It is therefore not surprising that it is a case of karma – what goes around, comes around. Gadhafi had funded terrorism in those African nations and it came back to bite him in the butt!!
However, Sudan certainly acted alone because other African nations were in the pay of Gadhafi, especially countries such as Burkina Faso (sp). This brings up another piece of unverified information regarding Saif Gadhafi, as well as other family members who managed to flee across the border into Niger and Algeria. Once again, as I stated all along, Algeria had been hostile to the revolutionaries, and ditto for Niger, which is why I discounted some of the reports floating about regarding the transport of weapons. I still maintain that if weapons did flow across those borders then it was directl from Gadhafi trying to pretend that it was the revolutionaries, and that Chad, Niger and Algeria were backing up the deception on the subject. However, back to Saif and General Senussi who is still alive. The latest intelligence is that they are attempting to negotiate to give themselves up to the ICC !!
If the rumor is true, what becomes interesting is the reasons given: according to those sources, Saif and Senussi feel that it would be better to face ICC prosecution (I wonder why!!) than end up in the hands of the NTC. On top of that they have allegedly decided not to cross into either Niger or Algiers because of the money that is being requested by those countries.
Did you grasp that point? It seems that Algiers and Niger allowed the other members of the Gadhafi family to seek refuge because money was exchanged for the seeking of refuge. Why else would they refuse to give them up? Saadi is wanted by Interpol in relation to an investigation of an atrocity in Benghazi (relating to the football stadium). Yet Niger is refusing to give him up? Why? How much money exchanged hands for that asylum? Ditto for the members of the family who fled to Algiers.
Some of the things that I am relating here are definitely things I describe as underhand. I most definitely want to know more about Qatar and its involvement. I knew that they were heavily involved but not by the supplying of boots on the ground. At least it is better that it was Arab boots.
This is consistent with the way in which Bahrain called in the Saudis to deal with their protesters. It might also point to the direction that Libya will take in the future, or it might even point to the fact that the Arabs are starting to stop relying on western powers and are more prepared to go it alone in other ways.

With the musicians Musicke in the Ayre.
1618 was an eventful year in the Caccini family calendar: in December, 4 months after his daughter Francesca published her first book of music, Papa Giulio died. His own "Le nouve musiche" first published in 1602 was a major milestone in the birth of the early Baroque style.
Maria Danishvar and Din Ghani explore the contribution and influence of the Caccinis, moving from the Florentine founders to the Venetian variety of Monteverdi and Strozzi.

SatNav machine – or perhaps app? UK-only or UK and Europe? Whichever your needs, we make it easier for to find the most suitable available special deals on the internet right now.
During the past, satnavs had a reputation for being poor performers and in some cases literally taking drivers in the wrong direction. But yet as technological know-how has improved alongside enhanced capabilities, these days when you put in the exact location you can expect to receive instructions, an approx. time of arrival and all of the information you will need to get to your destination. A number of satnavs will even show you where the closest car park is or even your current speed.
Two Kinds
Unless your car is already installed with an built-in sat nav probably you will choose between a couple of possibilities, either a free standing satnav, which could then be attached on a windscreen or possibly control panel, or an app down loaded on to your personal cellular smartphone which you can then use your in-built gps on your smartphone to give you direction.
Usually the more you need, the higher the cost. If all your driving is done in the UK then a normal satnav model will likely suit your needs. Nonetheless you are able to pick up satnavs that include maps of the european countries or even further afield.
On the more expensive models, you can also get new maps at a later stage which you either buy on demand, or that will be cost-free, sometimes these can even be for the whole year.
Touch Screen
Highway safeness is very important so you don't want to be scrunching your eyes to understand the road plan, therefore it's best to look at the display size and be sure you are comfortable with it. Most GPS Devices range between four and seven inches.
Some GPS Units offer alternative roadmap views, including 3D just like you're looking ahead on the streets ahead of you. Its always a good idea that even if you will likely to order your GPS through the web, it is worth trying all of them out in a store first of all. Numerous models offer a camera alarm, warning you when recognised speed cameras are ahead. All these machines typically will show the speed limit of the route, and also your current speed. Check your model when it comes to whether or not it has GPS updates at no cost.
The Models
These satnav units are recommended by the AA, however prices are varible and will depend on the place where you order it, though Amazon is a good option for you if you want to buy on the internet.
Encouraged by AA is theTomTom via 240, which also includes the UK, Republic of Ireland and Western European countries. It comes with totally free roadmap updates for the longevity of the device, "Speak & Go" that allows you to take control of your unit with your voice and hands-free calling.
The 2nd favorite is the 5-inch Garmin Nuvi 2557LMT, left, with entire of the european countries life time maps and traffic, speed camera cautions and hands-free calls. Additionally it guides by showing you know of actual landmarks, for example "turn left after the cathedral". Although well rated, it comes with a considerable price tag.
Software Applications
Phone software applications have matured and are sometimes as feature-rich as the free-standing machines and the processing performance of nearly all smart phones these days is as good as the Sat Nav units therefore route calculations and re-calculations are as fast. However often the screen is actually not large enough to see the maps on especially when a difficulty junction approaches and if you receive an inbound call the routing changes to cellular phone mode, which can be distracting.
Downloading maps will use up much of your mobile data allowance if you are not able to do so via a Wi-Fi connection before you decide to set off. Its suggests that if you were to use a satnav app you must make sure that you have a good display screen size and also make sure the app has voice directions.
Safety is essential consequently your cell phone must be fixed securely in an easily seen location in the vehicle, possibly in a cradle in addition to being dimmed at night to prevent any glare on the windscreen.
Two Options
Trouble is a community driven free of charge App which allows you to share driver-useful information with others on the highway. It is possible to actively record accidents, hazards and street alerts, and it even tells you where the gasoline stations are en-route, usually with updated cost of fuel. For a free app it's superb, although it lags your journey much more when you compare it to a satnav.
TomTom UK is for Android and IOS and is rated by all the best customer reviews. It is possible to select locations from your cell phone contact and the app will start to plan your route. The app works extremely well in offline mode so that you can download the maps on a Wifi network and avoid totally wasting your data allotment. It also features free of charge roadmap updates.

Liga MX playoffs: Pumas eliminates Tigres with dramatic stoppage-time winner
Gustavo Alustiza scored in second-half injury time to complete Pumas' dramatic fightback against Tigres on Sunday to win its Liga MX Apertura playoff quarterfinal 4-3 on aggregate.
Thursday's first leg ended 2-1 in favor of Tigres, but rapid-fire goals from Pumas' Carlos Gonzalez and Felipe Mora, along with an own goal by UNAM keeper Alfredo Saldivar had the hosts leading 2-1 and the tie level at 3-3 on aggregate.
With the game looking like it was headed for extra time, Carlos Gonzalez beat Saldivar and then picked out Alustiza at the top of the six-yard box to slot home and secure passage to the semifinals.
Pumas will play city rivals Club America in the semis after Miguel Herrera's team defeated Toluca 3-2 -- and 5-4 on aggregate -- in Sunday's late game.

Pancakes with frozen berries and sweet vanilla yoghurt……..ultimate breakfast nom
Sunday brunchBreakfast
Life is too short not to have champagne with breakfastBreakfast
Tuesday TrimBreakfast, Vegetarian
I had annual leave yesterday and so Tuesday this week is the first day of my working week and being "back on it!"
In a complete effort to be super duper healthy I hit the gym for 90 minutes this morning and prepared a packed lunch of ultimate "Health" foods.
Breakfast Smoothie
- Bananas
- Whey (Vanilla)
- Kale
- Almond milk
- low fat Greek yogurt
- Pineapple juice
- Two hard boiled eggs
- Kale
- Pineapple cottage cheese
OK, double Kale I here you say? Well, I had Kale speeding towards its sell by date and I hate waste!
I have to be really honest though, I was in no way looking forward to lunch. Feeling starving I really wanted something hearty and better than what I perceived my lunch to be but seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel really satisfied.
Healthy Nom!
And that's a (breakfast) wrap!Breakfast, Vegetarian
Oh I love a good Sunday breakfast. It's an opportunity to actually to take time and appreciate the food we eat, rather than a quick shoveled down snack before we run out of the house.
Today I had no plans and so I rummaged through the kitchen to see what I could utilize. I resulted with a spicy breakfast wrap!
- Scramble some eggs with butter, seasoning and chopped black olives
- Fill a tortilla wrap with the eggy mix and layer on some hot sauce and cheese (if you want a naughty twist)
- Grill the wrap to make it nice and crispy
See. Easy! Also delicious.

We're partnering with postsecondary education institutions and corrections departments to plan refinements for existing HEP programs and share lessons learned with the field.
Practitioners of higher education in prison have long recognized a need for a centralized set of resources that could help strengthen their programs. This grant supports the launch of a national organization that will advance the field and serve as a hub for these resources.
We've partnered with the RAND Corporation to study whether state financial aid grant programs could improve student outcomes by devising a more equitable way to allocate their funds, especially for those students who file for aid late or who just miss out on eligibility.
To address the needs of incarcerated students, many of whom have experienced trauma, the Prison University Project is incorporating trauma-informed teaching techniques and sharing best practices with practitioners nationwide.
Expanding access to higher education programs in prison could help more justice-involved individuals earn industry-recognized credentials that lead to post-release job opportunities.

The Spirit shall look out through Matter's gaze
And Matter shall reveal the Spirit's face
And all the Earth becomes a single life.
– Sri Aurobindo; Savitri. A legend and a symbol.
Now that my question about holding space had found a provisional answer, I embarked on a deeper quest to explore the big concepts 'spirit' and 'source'. Why was it that in our women's gathering we rarely ever talked about 'spirit', but spoke of 'source' instead? I delved deep within to uncover the core qualities and functions of both concepts as I understood them in my body and through my experience. This was no easy task, because so many concepts and ideas in our language are made to separate, while I was looking for synergy and interweaving. To get more clarity, rather than thinking and reading 'about it', I resorted to my more familiar tools like drawing and contemplation.
On a blank sheet of paper, I wrote the words 'Spirit' and 'Source'. I tend to see Spirit as somewhere high out there, while I experience Source as something deep within. So Spirit went at the top of the page and Source at the bottom. It is worth noticing my use of language here: I 'see' Spirit 'out there' and I 'experience' Source 'within'. While it was possible that this distinction was valid only for me, other people were also prepared to go along with it, so I let it stand as the basis for what followed.
If Spirit lives at the top of the page and Source at the bottom, then the real world is in the middle. I use 'real' here in the sense of space and time: the manifest world that we see and know in its three or four dimensions. This is the world of our senses and experiences, the world of incarnation. Now, how was I to understand the interaction between these three: Spirit, Source and the manifest world?
My contemplation showed me the movement from the manifest world towards Spirit as a way of taking some distance from an experience, to witness, think and reflect about it; to gain more consciousness and awareness; also, the ability to capture the world and life with language, symbols and concepts. By contrast, the movement upwards from Source to the manifest world seems to originate in a huge space of potential, transiting through layers of ever denser energies, until the potential takes a form and manifests. In Gaia's Quatum Leap (p130), Marko Pogacnik speaks of 'source' as life force "through which the fabric of creation is continually enlivened". The reverse movement, sensing from the manifest world into Source, is the capacity to sense what is coming, what is possible and what has life in it. More specifically in terms of our practice here, it is sensing what is about to happen but not yet here. If we consider the latest scientific discoveries in quantum physics, my image might not remotely resemble how it works; nevertheless, it was enormously helpful to me in understanding a lot of situations.
Returning to my paper, my next step was to draw a circle connecting Spirit and Source, because to me, somehow, they inhabit the same realm. Somewhere they are one; perhaps together they are 'the One', or perhaps they share the same origin. I can envision Spirit and Source as the first couple that came out of the One, whatever that is (which is beyond the scope of this book to define). The first polarity arose with this pair. Related pairs are: light and darkness, yin and yang, inward and outward, masculine and feminine, and so on. "The One is inclusive of unmanifest and manifest, the being and the non-being, the before and the after, all present now." This quote comes not from a renouned guru or philosopher, but was a reflection by one of our participants in a Women Moving the Edge gathering, after representing 'The One' in a systemic constellation. (see more about this practice in chapter 8)
Back to holding space… In a nutshell, when holding space I connect in and through my body with the subtle energy dimensions, with the potential that is able to unfold. In my drawing, therefore, 'holding space' is another layer between Source and the 3-dimensional world. But, as with many failed experiments with non-authoritarian education, something is missing here if we want to see this potential actually coming into being. Holding space asks for its counterpart at the same level on the side of Spirit. Some structuring energy is required to balance the vastness and openness of holding space. That structure is provided by keeping our attention on the intention or purpose. This focus or intention must not be closed or fixed, however, or there will be no room for unfolding, emergence or birthing of the new. The best articulation I have found for this activity is 'staying in inquiry'.
On my paper, I now draw a circle connecting Staying in Inquiry with Holding Space. It's looking good, but I'm still not satisfied. The distance between the two outer circles feels too great. How does Source become Holding Space? How does Spirit become Staying in Inquiry?
In the movement towards the manifest world, what is Source providing? What is its first discernible level of manifestation? When I contemplate the trajectory towards manifestation from the perspective of Source, I experience a vast ocean of possibility. That makes a lot of sense: Source provides the material world with an infinite reservoir of potential. What, then, is Potential's counterpart on the side of Spirit? How does Spirit show up in the world of manifestation? I am inclined to name that 'Consciousness'. With this notion, I could now draw the third circle, between the first two. The resulting image struck me as highly revealing. Later we started naming this the Spirit-Source model and I continued to delve deeper.
Spirit-Source model
Before looking into this model, I want to state explicitly that it does not aspire to be an accurate representation of reality. Wiktionary says: "'Model' has many meanings, one of them is: A simplified representation used to explain the workings of a real world system or event." I don't claim to have found the truth with my model, although it continues to help me understand how emergence can come about, and what its essential elements are. You might find it helpful too.
Emergence of Collective Wisdom
My next question was: When I am holding space for the highest potential, what is it for? What is the real purpose of holding space? Why would anyone do it? Slowly it dawned on me… Ah! I am holding the possibilities because I want them to manifest. It seems obvious in hindsight, but at the time I was thunderstruck. In essence, then, holding space provides a supporting energy or attention that bridges between Source and the real world: it is Holding Space for a Potential to Manifest. That is what parents do for their children, and it is what we do when we host conversations and change processes in groups. Equally, it should be a core competence in leadership teams dealing with complexity and uncertainty.
The next question to arise was: What is the counterpart on the side of Spirit? I wanted my model to be balanced; simple, beautiful and elegant like a good mathematical formula or excellent programming code. Not having any clear distinctions myself for this part of the model, I turned to a male friend for help. We concluded that the basic purpose of Staying in Inquiry is: for Inspiration to Show up.
In this way I saw how Source and Spirit work together in synergy to create new life. If we hold space so that potential can manifest, and if we keep the inquiry open for inspiration or innovation to show up, then these two interweave in co-creation and emergence will happen.
Emergence is the manifestation of something really new, the novel that never existed before. An example of emergence from science is what happens when hydrogen and oxygen atoms are combined; it makes water. The wetness of water is found in neither hydrogen nor oxygen, it emerges from the interaction of the two; it is an emergent property. The scientific concept of emergence is now finding its way into mainstream conversations, but is not always well understood. In the realm of collective intelligence and wisdom, we talk of emergence when connections have been made between different elements – like different insights from diverse participants – that lead to a totally new feature or insight. A potential that was not known or even possible before, has come into existence, and we notice an innovation in products and/or processes.
In real life, even in intentionally designed group situations, emergence seems too messy and chaotic for many people to feel comfortable with – there is not enough order or control, things are too unpredictable. Although what emerges actually is some form of order, it is not any kind of pre-determined – or even pre-existing -order but something that is too complex for us to grasp in the moment it is happening. It is not until after the event that we can discern patterns that have formed and become visible. Emergence does not spring from external structures or controlled order, rather, it can be facilitated (but not guaranteed) by creating a strong energetic container (holding space for potential to manifest) while staying focused on a core question that holds an intention or purpose. This is when new and unforseen connections can arise from the chaos and emergence can come through. In some circles, this way of working is known as 'walking the chaordic path'. There is little that is tangible to hold on to: this holding space expresses itself only through a few guidelines or principles and is basically done in the intangible, subtle or energetic space.
Chris Corrigan, a Canadian colleague from the Art of Hosting network, says: "Emergence is what happens when everyone leaves from the party with something that nobody came with." He points to one of the conditions in a group that makes emergence possible: the interweaving and cross-pollinating that happens when people enjoy being together and engaging with each other, like at a party. What emerges is what I call 'collective wisdom' – a wisdom that is not the sum of constituent elements, but a weaving and bringing together of the intelligence and wisdom present in the members of the group. While this is already a welcome outcome, the emergence of generative, collective action is something more, as we shall see in the second part of this book. It requires greater alignment, more deeply into ourselves and more widely out into our context.
If our purpose is truly to let collective wisdom have its way, this model of emergence can inform us in designing meetings and strategic change processes. In addition to having a clearly articulated purpose that is translated into cogent guiding questions, the processes we design must include and support the holding of the space. In essence we need formats and approaches that can illuminate the potential that is present in the room and bring it into expression. While the skills of deep listening and true dialogue are crucial, this model clearly shows that listening to all the diversity, allowing all the voices to be heard and holding the energetic space are not enough on their own. Of equal importance is the open inquiry around the purpose that calls our attention and guides us to innovation. (more on emergence in chapter 7)
Ongoing spiral dance between Holding Space and Staying in Inquiry
Wisdom is a love affair with questions; knowledge is a love affair with answers. The questions are there, not to be answered, but as a guidance.
– Julio Olalla, on video.
There is an ongoing dynamic, coil-like, involving the level or depth of Sourcing and the level or depth/height of Consciousness (or Spirit). We can access the full depth of the potential in service of manifestation and generative action, only to the extent that we can articulate a clear and lofty intention or purpose. This explains the importance of finding powerful guiding question(s) and clearly naming the shared purpose. Just as the tallest tree has the deepest roots, the higher the consciousness from which our question is voiced, the deeper the level of sourcing it will invite and the deeper and more subtle layers of information to which it will grant access. This field that grows wider through many cycles generates authentically new wisdom.
Quote from participant:
I know this feeling of having a deep sense of something that wants to happen and then your mind goes to work and fills it in. I've learned to just hold it. And when things don't align, to just see that my idea is not aligned, or not right timing yet, or whatever. At least in me, sometimes it is a lonely thing. I feel some loneliness in just holding the sourcing of it, knowing something wants to happen. And sometimes it takes years of just holding that potential. – Ria

Chapter 3: I and Us: Circle Practice
The move from the I and You of the previous chapter to the I and Us dealt with in this one is easy to understand and to make. To remind us of the larger context: we are extending outward in the process of aligning, becoming increasingly aware of the complexity of life and the interrelatedness of all that is in it. In any group there are constantly multiple relationships unfolding, back and forth and in all directions, both visibly and invisibly. To realise the full potential of such a collective, and to access the collective wisdom available in the group, we need to acquire another skill: that of becoming aware of the inner dimension, the inner collective, the inner plane of a group – for lack of a better word, the group's field.
I would like to start by sharing another story, one which contributed greatly to my understanding of what might be possible in circles tended in this way.
3.1 What is holding space?
The unmanifest realm contains all that exists and all that could potentially exist. Elementary particles manifest from this place then vanish back into it. The whole of the physical world constantly vibrates in and out of the unmanifest realm.
– Brian Swimme, Nature and Eros lecture (Tunitas Creek Ranch, CA: September 9, 2011).
In the summer of 2007 I accompanied a dear friend in Denmark on what he called a writing retreat for himself. I expected that we would enjoy our habit of deep and inspiring conversations over breakfast and dinner together. He would then dive into his writing and I would be free to do my own thing: reading, exploring the neighbourhood and enjoying the beautiful nature. Soon, however, he announced that his writing practice would best be supported by fasting and that he would show up for neither breakfast nor dinner. I continued doing what I fancied, but missed the good conversational company and was wondering: What am I doing here? I still felt good about it, but why exactly was I there? I could read books and explore nature anywhere and at any time! Why here and now? After holding this question for a couple of days it dawned on me: I was holding space for my friend and his writing. I noticed a clear relief in my body when I realised this. After the five days, as we were driving home, I shared my insights with him and recognised what an intimate thing it is to offer to hold space for someone. It made me wonder…
A few weeks later in a phone conversation with another friend, I told him I was holding space for him and others as they engaged in large-scale strategic, systemic work in the world – not always easy. I explained to him that this strategic work within a huge bureaucracy was not mine to do, but that nonetheless I had something to do with it: I was holding space for it. As I spoke these words, I was astonished to find tears welling up in my eyes. Articulating this inner knowing had stirred up some deep sadness.
For a long time I had been holding the question: What am I really doing when I hold space? I had noticed that many facilitators and hosts nodded their heads in recognition when we spoke of holding space. They/we seemed to understand what we meant by it, but I had never heard anybody explain it, nor could I find reference to it in books. The experiences recounted here made me aware of certain aspects of it, and I realised in that moment on the phone with my friend that this capacity of holding space needed languaging: words and distinctions to make it visible in the world. Another friend called it 'grandmother's work', which was a nice metaphor but not a useful distinction.
The next important experience came in a training seminar, where an awkward situation revealed to me that holding space, for me as a woman, was not something I did in the cognitive sphere of the mind, but was essentially something that I accessed in and through my body. This realisation was very grounding for me, as if I had finally landed in my right spot. From the response of other female participants at that seminar, it transpired that this was not just my unique individual experience, but something that many women resonate with.
Nevertheless, the question remained, although now in a slightly different form: what am I actually doing when holding space, in and through my body? Some years earlier I had realised that I could sense what would happen next in a group process or systemic constellation, and that this was alien, weird or simply not possible for others. I also came to recognise that this sensing of what would happen next was quite different from the visions of the future experienced by others. My friend at the time was clearly years ahead in seeing what would become possible in the future, but he had no (trained) sensing organ for what might be the first next step in this unfolding, and so he was quite unable to discern where best to invest his energy, with much frustration as a result.
Having been in this years-long inquiry for myself, and looking back at our experiences in the gatherings of Women Moving the Edge, it dawned on me suddenly one day that we never spoke about 'Spirit', but would always use the word 'Source'. It intrigued me as to why this was. Upon reflection, I discerned that Source – at least for me – points to the depths, to something deep inside, while Spirit seems to encompass something high above, with an eagle's view… Hmmm… I began to draw on a sheet of paper to flesh out these insights.
Totally focused on my quest to understand this difference, I first apprehended that Source can be seen as 'unmanifest matter' – a potential that can materialise or not, depending on a host of circumstances. And so the answer to the question I had been holding for many months began to emerge. When I am holding space I connect through my body with the unmanifest potential of the person, group, place, project or gathering that is my focus. This was it! Holding space is shorthand for holding the energetic space in which the potential of people or groups or projects can unfold and enter the reality of time and space.
This holding space is only possible from a state of emptiness and a deep inner stillness. Without this, the potential cannot be embraced free from attachment. Of course we do not perceive this unmanifest potential through our physical senses; rather, it is an awareness of the subtler, energetic levels. We can learn to become aware of and choose to open our subtle senses to intentionally connect with this potential in service of that what wants to or can become manifest.
This intuition was later confirmed in a conversation with two dear friends about their joint project. I explained that they, as the callers or initiators of the project, would always be the ones who held the deepest and widest wellspring of possibilities. Even if they eventually expanded their core group, as they were thinking of doing, they would continue to be the callers. Other people could join and become very active in the project, and if they left the project would endure. However, if the initiators both withdrew their energy and attention, the whole project would die. In my understanding, and according to the little model that was emerging, the new collaborators were not holding the space as deeply; they were more about bringing the project alive. In further conversations, the three of us articulated that the 'callers' are holding the source-point of a project. (There will be more on the practice of being a caller in chapter 5).
At a training seminar in the Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter, the question presented it self to me: "If a small group were to sit in silence, what influence would that have on the collective?" As it happened, and somewhat unexpectedly, many others where interested in this question. We spent what time we had together not 'talking about it', but practicing it directly. First there were 3 or 4 women, then 7 or 8 of us sitting in silence, with 10 minutes at the end to share our reflections and learning. I noticed at this particular seminar that people were invited to be in silence on many occasions. We were a big group, and some had to sit on cushions in an inner circle due to lack of space. I noticed that people would deliberately choose to sit near the centre in order to hold space for the rest. It seemed that a pattern was emerging and consciousness about it was growing.
Holding space and place for the unfolding of what is possible looks rather passive on the outside: you are essentially doing nothing on the visible plane. And yet this holding is active; it takes a certain presence, awareness and attention. You are giving care in both the physical and the energetic dimensions. The physical attention can be seen in the careful tending to the space and in the quality of the invitation to a gathering. The energetic attention is of course subtler by nature. Still, as people enter the room they feel that there is a connectedness and a depth in the space. They notice the difference, enjoy it and are sometimes even reluctant to leave.
Generally speaking, I realised, women have a natural tendency to hold space for people, places and projects. This reflects their capacity to literally hold space in their bodies for unborn babies, something they do unconditionally without knowing what this budding human being will look like or how its life will unfold. This capacity to hold a safe space in which the full potential can emerge seems to have been forgotten in the West, at least outside the domain of the family. In business, politics and organisational life, we (even those who do it naturally and automatically) are still unaware that this skill exists and is needed.
Some people seem to have this innate ability to hold. It is a fine quality of moving into a vibrational resonance with what is present and what is possible. It is not exclusively women who do this intuitively, but very many do and are happy when we articulate it and give it words. I have no mainstream 'scientific' way to verify this, but the fact that the female body has a womb – an empty space whose function is to hold and manifest potential – could explain why so many of us do it spontaneously.
Holding space is by no means always easy. In contexts of collective inquiry where there is potential conflict, where people are triggered into personal, emotional content, or caught up in giving advice or getting their point across – in short, wherever there is downloading – it can be hard to stay present to the potential. In such conditions, it can be a challenge to hold steady in that place of acceptance and support. At such times, someone needs to keep the energy and attention of the collective on both the intention of the inquiry and what can become possible through the conversations. Bringing in a question that evokes the intention and/or the potential (although without expectations) can help to shift the conversation to a more generative space.
Holding space springs from a different quality of being than engaging in the conflict or debate. It can create a very different atmosphere, and at the same time it builds (on) our capacity to become present and aligned within. By tuning into and staying attentive to the intention and potential, we broadcast this frequency out from ourselves to others. In this way we invite other participants to inquire and speak from the same space, frequency or alignment. We offer each participant an opportunity to reach for their greatest potential in the here and now. Holding space is both holding the unmanifest potential and holding the tensions in the process of inquiry. Depending on your perspective, it is holding the space open for the best possible outcomes and the greatest possible participation, at the same time. It implies absolute trust in both the process and the people.
Harrison Owen, the inventor of Open Space Technology, says that holding space "dates back at least to the first shamans". The practice and skill of holding space is not limited to gatherings, training seminars and workshops, although facilitators of such events are to some extent aware of this quality they can bring in. I have learned that holding space is also used in other contexts: dance, psychotherapy, spiritual groups, and so on. The Quakers have a 'vibes watcher' in their meetings. Holding space also applies to mundane situations we find ourselves in every day. Wherever we are, we can be present to what is possible, in a benignly detached way without emotional engagement, expectations or fixed plans. We are just holding the potential; holding the space for wherever we are and for whatever is emerging.
We know from the work of midwives and doulas that birth outcomes are improved when there is someone present during the birth process who is there to hold space for the woman giving birth, alongside the midwife, who is there for the baby. We are gradually coming to understand that this is equally true for teams and organisations. What if this quality, this tending of the energetic space, were acknowledged as important in any new endeavour? Surely it would improve the quality and outcome of any project. Later in the book, once all aspects of the Collective Presencing practice are laid out, we will build on this strategic aspect of this new human capacity.
In order to avoid any confusion arising around this new concept, and in the interests of creating clear distinctions, it is important also to specify what holding space is not. I remember a story of a woman who spent many years 'holding her sister' through many challenging situations. All those around her could see that this kind of holding was no longer the right thing for her to do. The space she was holding for her sister did not arise from a place of stillness and centeredness; rather, she was stuck in a rut and could not respond in any other way. She was not able to say to her sister: "Do it!" or "Move on." In her case, then, this holding space was not a capacity but a habitual pattern that she was unaware of and unable to relinquish. How sensitive is our understanding of what to hold and what not? Of when to hold and when to let go? Echoing earlier chapters: how flexible are we in our responses?
Holding space is always about keeping open the possibility for potential to manifest, be it in people, in seminars, meetings and events, in teams, in companies, and so on. Sometimes the holding is more passive, like an open hand: being present, supporting, giving attention. Sometimes it is more active, giving a clear signal or impulse: now do it yourself, give it a try. Always being like an open hand is too much of one flavour, and can let a situation stagnate without realising its potential. In this case, the holding gets blocked in a kind of waiting… waiting for the thing that we hope for, but that will never happen unless someone acts. Sometimes withdrawing the holding and support and trusting in the strength and resourcefulness that is present challenges the one being held to dig deeper into their actual power that was there all along.
In our Western culture, the expectation that the potential should manifest immediately blocks a natural unfolding. There is too much pressure to get things done, to take a step right now, even when it is not yet clear what the real purpose is or what action is aligned in time, space and context. Holding space needs to happen without any expectation of a specific outcome, reward or recognition; it is offering a space to unfold, and is not necessarily focused on tasks as such. Much of what good parents do is exactly this: sometimes supporting, sometimes challenging, but always open to the response and sensing what is aligned with the potential of this particular child.
This capacity to hold the whole and hold space for unmanifest potential has been attracting more attention in recent years, and is starting to surface more into awareness (in the West). Because it is part of learning how to consciously and intentionally manifest, alongside actually practicing holding space, it is equally important to name and articulate this skill. It needs to be included as a foundation stone to enable every project that is set up to develop in a natural and organic way. We have noticed that once this invisible activity has been illuminated it is more easily seen and recognised by others who have never given it attention before.

The 14th of June was the Austrian Press Day. Five agencies in Vienna presented their customers to journalists and bloggers. I got the invite from Heroes&Heroines a few weeks before and knew I had to go. Today I am sharing with you what I liked and why one agency was a disappointment.
As I mentioned before, five agencies were part of the Austrian Press Days. It was perfect, because it meant I could visit them all in one trip to Vienna. It also meant I could see my blogger bff Bobby! Michi, another blogger friend, as well as my cousin Claudia also came along. And Benjamin, of course!
The first agency we visited was bbpr, where the ladies were super nice and Benjamin immediately got his flirt on. Some of the brands that caught my eye were Havaianas, Reno, Pandora, Kissa Tea and, my favorite interior decoration shop, Depot. I could have smuggled every single pair of Havaianas on the display, but I was good and only thought about it.
Our second stop was Andrea Leitner PR, which featured more of a luxurious selection of brands. Among them Dr. Hauschka and Thomas Sabo. The ladies at the reception were very nice, but it felt like there was no one from the agency inside – or at least I didn't see anyone (with exception of the waiters who offered us drinks).
The third agency we went to was Spread, which featured some of my favorite brands: Verival, Henkel Beauty Care and all i need. We got to speak directly with some of the ladies from the agency and I overall had a very good feeling there.
After a quick lunch pitstop, we continued witht he Austrian Press Day, heading to PR International. I was already looking forward to seeing some of the news from their brands and did not get disappointed! Benjamin took up the opportunity to catch some "Zs", while I checked on Comma, There's a book for that and Peek&Cloppenburg.
The agency I was looking for the most, was Heroes & Heroines. Unfortunately, it was also the one that disappointed me the most.
We got there around 5 pm, the Press Day was until 6 pm. However, it seemed like the members of H&H weren't into it anymore. I get it, it was the second of two long days. Nonetheless, I felt it was very unprofessional.
But some of the staff members were wearing jackets over their t-shirts, making it hard for us to recognize them. I fed Benjamin his bottle when we got there and wasn't even aware that two of the girls hanging out in front of me were part of the agency!
I can understand if the staff cannot personally greet us at the door if there is a lot going on. But there wasn't a lot going on! And once a group of "bigger" bloggers arrived shortly after us, they immediately had two people giving them the grand tour. Which I found very disrespectful towards the rest of the visitors.
Bobby, being her awesome self, took things into her own hands and asked someone to answer her some questions. The poor girl seemed to be an intern and had to go ask herself the answers to give us. And when Bobby asked who was in charge of a certain big retailer brand, the person felt like she wasn't very keen to speak to her.
I understand that after two long days the staff was more than ready for the after-party to start. However, the invite said "from 10:00 to 18:00". I expected the showroom to not only be open, but the staff of the agency to be professional and forthcoming. It was a disappointment and I honestly felt I wasted my time going there.
It especially annoyed me, because I have been very well received at their previous showrooms! This just was not the Heroes & Heroines that I got to know and love.
With the exception of the last agency, I really liked attending the Austrian Press Day! I I'm already looking forward to the next edition.

05 Dec Always Be Prepared When You Head Out Hiking
There are many things to consider before you take off for a day of hiking in the woods. Never be done unprepared in case of an emergency. What you plan on never happening usually has a way of happening when you are least prepared.
Whenever you are planning on an outdoor trek to your favorite spot, it is important that you include some basic emergency supplies along with your regular gear. It is always smart to include a few extra energy bars and bottles of water. This may a little extra weight to your pack but it is always better to be prepared than prepared in a situation where you wish you had extra.
It is also smart to include a compass, no matter how many times you have been to the same area there is always a chance that you could get turned around and lose your bearings or landmarks that you have come to relly on may no longer be there . A compass is an inexpensive way to maintain your location if you find yourself in unfamiliar surroundings.
Also include some type of poncho or covering that can protect you in the case of a sudden and unexpected storm. Although you checked the weather before you left, it is not uncommon for a sudden downpour to occur. A poncho is very light and will serve as a barrier between you and the weather.
If you become stranded overnight due to unforeseen events, there should also be some type of fire starting kit in your back pack. Having the ability to produce a small fire will be very important. The temperature may drop and a fire will provide you with enough warmth to survive the night.
It will also serve as a light source very dark and dangerous surroundings. A small flashlight is another option to provide light but the importance of being warm can be achieved by just including a small flint or other fire producing source in your pack.
Just by adding these items to your pack, you will be much more prepared if something should occur on your hike.
There is nothing more important than planning for the unexpected in any situation. Even though you may consider yourself to be an excellent hiker, there is always the chance that an accident or unforeseen weather conditions may arise. Always be prepared and you will feel safer on every outing.
