[CRNMC] Decolonization of Mind - Discussion Group - Meeting Notice

[Kelly Larson]

Thank you, Charles. Just this invitation is stimulating!  I love "crisis is
instead a call for change, an indication that it is time to rebalance, and
a chance to learn something new."

CRNMC has accomplished so much, and I am reminded that we still haven't
accepted a method of resolving conflict.  I look forward to adopting ways
to work through the inevitable bumping into each other that happens when
folks work together.   I have seen that with tools we can come out of these
encounters stronger, more effective, and with more love and understanding.
I look forward to finding the methods we can use in CRNMC.  I can only
imagine how unstoppable we will be!  See you on Nov. 11th.

Blessings,
Kelly
