PrintHow We Explored Three Topics at Once
August 18th, 2008
Welcome to Maggie and Keith, who joined us for the first time this month. We explored our group metaphor again and newcomers since its last outing added some ideas of their own, including: stepping out and back in again and a glass elevator. TV programmes 'The Lost Jaguar' and 'Pacific Abyss' put in an appearance, too.
A Really Clean Evening
July 21st, 2008
Welcome to Janet, who joined us for the first time this month.
Since last time, some of us had attended the Clean Conference which we agreed was well organised and worthwhile. It was particularly good to see so many people from the Clean Community altogether in one place, and the presentations were of a high standard.
Feeling to a Metaphor
June 9th, 2008
With no meeting in May, it was good to get together again for our June meeting. We welcomed three new members to the group: Neil, Joy and Richard. To get them into the swing of things, we explained our group metaphor and then a few of us described what 'Clean' is.
Clean Set Up
April 14th, 2008
We started the meeting by explaining our 'melting pot' metaphor to our two new members, Karen and Rachel, who then both contributed their ideas about the kind of group they'd like to belong to. Rachel added an armchair because she wants the group to be safe and comfortable. Karen talked about the group having an intention and being vibrant and added yellow 'sparkle' to our metaphor map.
Next, we had a go at the Clean Set Up Caitlin describes on her DVD.
Then What Happens?
March 17th, 2008
We started the evening intending to model sequences... and although there were some diversions along the way, that is what we practised in our small groups towards the end of the evening.
As a context for modelling sequences, we'd start by asking "What would you like to have happen?"
