	•	Everyone has a different experience, different wants in an organization.  How do you get things done? Is there a new way of organizing without an authority system?
	•	How do we take responsibility?  How are we co-creators in what we see?  We see the rage?  How does it tap into our own rage?
	•	How do we meet the grief?  How can we do this quickly?  There is a moment of self-indulgence, we have privilege.
	•	We open conversation the we close it down when it gets uncomfortable 
	•	We close the conversation …. From the space of authority.   How do I get myself out of the way?  Yet be responsible for the outcome?
	•	Example retreat 2.5 days of working on relations with each other, .5 day of efficient work.
	•	“Slow down to the speed of wisdom”.  The power of soak time.
	•	Paradox of the world is burning and needing to move slowly.
	•	What do we have to do:   1. give opportunities to everyone to do what they need to do?  2.  How each of us needs to develop in our group work?  
	•	Each emotion/feeling/view is valid.
	•	What to do when you think someone goes off topic?  Who gets to decide?
	•	Holding the space for that to happen.  In silence.
	•	What enabled (the woman) to speak up?  She said love.  I did not get that.  She was in a space of loving witness.  She found that it was her place to speak
	•	It looks messy, that is okay.
	•	Being centered, discernment is essential.  Whether it is wrong or right is peripheral.
	•	There was a power struggle we should talk about it.  
	•	I felt there was a violation of an agreement, coupled with a responsibility to serve the group
	•	We need to talk about hierarchies
	•	Patterns of behavior that need to die
	•	We don’t want to admit that it is there.
	•	Healthy side of hierarchy.  Making decisions efficiently, this is healthy for people.
	•	Making agreement explicit
	•	You cannot have a functioning group without a common purpose.
	•	You are valuable.  We don’t have power over anyone.
	•	To dishonor hierarchy and not recognize rank and hierarchy is wrong.  To dishonor the father is not the way to move forward.
	•	Global interconnected world.  How to bring in more feminine energy.
	•	How much we have all suffered by our wanting to rush forward.  This is what we got, let us honor it.  Let us honor what is good about hierarchy.
	•	What was happening for me?  I like father.  I have bought into the “good daddy” and not take responsibility for my own power.  I am comforted by the “good daddy.”  I was uncomfortable by the whispering.
	•	Some were totally oblivious to what happened
	•	And some were only witnessing.
	•	I am a tasker and not a processor.  I was the eldest daughter, I could argue with my father.  Argument and debate does not have to be personal.  I can be in the corporate world.  Honor the sacrifices; honor the losses that mothers and daughters have felt.  Tap into both my feminine and masculine side. 
	•	Whose business is it?  Is this my business?  It is not easy to tell.
	•	The lesson I get, is that I have to take it in.  Physiology will tell you if it is about me or not.
	•	Groups are dysfunctional
	•	It is a point of view.  You could say all groups are functional.
	•	Imagine if dysfunctions did not come up … where would we be?
	•	This is not about “me”.  There is a whole universe.  Celebrate that I do not know.
	•	What would I do if I were the host?
	•	Energy in the room supported the women.  (Men) felt rejected, abandonment.  Maybe (they/he) are trying to unlearn leadership, authority.
	•	I felt we were disrespected and abandoned.
	•	Intellectually I would not have done it.  It would have totally emasculated him to do what I asked.  I felt like I would have betrayed my sisters, I needed to follow my two feet; I needed to breath.  (She) was seething, pissed.  I felt joined.  How do I compassionately deal with this situation?
	•	Solomon Asch’s groupthink experiment.  Angst about speaking their truth.  The people that did speak their truth said the right answers.
	•	“Law of Two Feet” is against the social norm.  Evolving the system forward.
	•	 “The law of two feet” seen as walking out, debrief what we learned from it.
	•	What I learned, what can I learn?
	•	When we (people) leave without knowing why, we lose the opportunity to learn.
