Not a conference. Not a report. But a fireplace where we can come and meet and do. Meeting around the fire. Working around our fireplace. What do I need so that I can grow? Crystals in the air. Crystals in the room. Crystal clear – something should be crystal clear by the end of it. A vision – a remembering – of why we all came together. Something like a commitment. Like an urgency. What’s connecting us? Focus on what connects us. My task. Our task.
