excellent chapter, Joe! I feel you've covered a lot of ground here and made many important points about the facilitator's role and the opportunities (for both) when working with a partner. And yes, of course, there is always more... but there are always limits to how much we can absorb and integrate at any one moment.

Thank you, Veronika! Yes, there is always more... At the center of it all is a trust that at the deepest level, what is within us wants only good, and that if we make the effort to access that core, we can experience the natural thriving that is our birthright. All the various ways we might approach that core can take us there, as long as we hold and serve that trust. My sense is that your own work is also deeply grounded in this, yes?

yes, that's exactly my feeling too. We've been writing and working in the same field all these years, covering the same ground, diving into the same source, exploring the same landscape, just with different maps. Not surprisingly, we have comparable insights and come to similar conclusions. That's probably the greatest encouragement of the work I have found so far (apart from the work itself).
