Yes, it went very well. I thought the three of you worked together very well as a team and I enjoyed the relaxed quality of your togetherness. I liked the pace of the weekend which felt comfortable and not rushed as some weekends like this feel. There is much food for thought and contemplation. It will take a while to “process” all that I recewived at the workshop. I especially enjoyed the mix of people and the ease of sharing with everyone.. By the way, Martin, what do you mean exactly when you say (in the first paragraph above) that “God and Christ were being named all over the place”?
Blessings,
Susanne

@Meg: good luck indeed. Thanks for the ride. It wasn’t so much that the rocks and trees were hair-raising but that the twists, turns and inclines were a bit belly-raising. I love those kinds of roads but whew!, there’s a lot of them out there. Both plane rides were remarkably smooth.

I hope the rocks and trees in the road weren’t too hair-raising.

I’m looking forward to reading more from you, the other facilitators, and the participants!
