Reply to Starting the TAE Process With a Partner
Hello,
Yesterday, while waiting in a car salesman’s office (ugh), in the midst of negotiating the purchase of a new-to-me car (my car unexpectedly died), I received 3 emails from Possibility Space summarizing this current online class.
I read the summaries right there. My nervous system calmed down and my creative side woke up. It was a…

Thank you, Rosie, for sharing this. Yes, I feel we’re all weaving this pattern together, each bringing our unique experience. In that, something larger comes alive. I’m grateful to be part of this unfolding with you and everyone. Looking forward to what deepens in the next Tertulia.

Reply to Class 1 - Forming Felt Sense & Crux Sentence
I’ll start with sharing an aspect where I’d like to be more skilled: how to use a paradox in practical terms (some hint on how using paradox v. Kye Nelson, “Thinking fundamentally”, par 2.

Gendlin disagrees: he proposes a…

Bea opens the session by reading a key quote from Gendlin’s article:
“The essence of working with another person is to be present as a living being.”
She reflects, “How lucky this is—because it means we don’t need to be smart, good, or wise—just human.” She invites everyone to breathe into this idea and sense what it means to simply be a human…

Dear Rosy,
Thanks for taking the time to check out some of the authors I’m reading now. It’s good that you could acknowledge the initial feeling of “going to school without having the homework done.” There will be many moments like that, because we can’t do homework for situations that we’ve never encountered before. Once you acknowledged…

Dear Bea, I went googling Naropa University, then Vanessa Machado de Oliveira and then Bill Plotkin: a vast space of topics that I don’t know at all or I’m not aware either emerged and I also encountered names and persons I didn’t heard before. In googling Vanessa Machado I found a very very interesting conversation between herself and AI…
