It was a privilege to participate in this 3-session experiment. Thank you Susan and Edwin. While Zoom was not the same as being physically together, it was a close enough simulation that it felt authentic. Two factors were key for me: the skill sets of Susan as facilitator and Edwin as technical supervisor; the intimacy of the chat rooms, which created an environment conducive to listening with and speaking from the heart. Thanks to everyone for your energy and participation!

Thank you for your workshops. It gave me some insights in developing my movement / dance workshops on empathy, as one of the parts of my larger vision of fostering human values through Indian dance and Laban Movement Analysis.

Edwin, a very big thank you to first connect with me personally, then inviting me in your listening workshop and then Susan's workshop. It has helped me moved closer towards my vision.

I wish I had more time to engage, reflect and work on it... In the next month, I will have some more breather. And I will be in touch with some of you as I need to look into everyone's profile for further collaboration.

Since, I am an artist, I always have to write grants to support my work. And to win grant monies or residencies to develop projects, we need documentation of work-in-progress in different forms. It would be helpful if you would allow me to use the link for grant or residency purpose.

In addition, I just wanted to be sure if I could use some of the tools or take inspiration from these activities to further develop my project..

Thank you for sharing your work with us. I was happy and grateful to be one of the first testers for an online program (as it also was learning for me in that area!).

I understand that this was just a part of what your workshop is, and I do not know in which areas you like feedback. Your workshop probably is already an existing training, so this was maybe more for yourself to try out the zoom-possibilities?

Thank you to Edwin for the invite and developing the online stuff as well.

And a thank you to all in the group. I am so pleased to see group 1 back and I am sure the paths with the other participants will cross as well. It was a delight to get to know you all.

Love and Light,

Joanie

Thanks also to everyone on this zoom experiment.

I would suggest building in a 10 minute break in the middle - as, at least for me, sitting still for 2 hrs was quite trying.

best and to all much good luck!
