I have made more focused preparations over the past couple of weeks for the two tea blending workshops that I am facilitating this month, and that has got me pondering how I best like to create containers in circle and community with others. Making the time to create exploratory structure for the workshops I offer reminds me that it is pretty special to get to bear witness to the discovery and creation moments that take place in circle. Being a spatial cup bearer is really important to me…yarrow and the hiking trail at Wakeena Falls had a few things to communicate to me about creating healthy containers and leadership.
