Healing Rifts

Monday, August 28, 2000

Our monthly ritual and healing workshop was moved to Sunday because of the May Queen Potluck. The healing workshop is part of the Grok System that I have mentioned before. It provides a structure for our practice and training while allowing plenty of lee way for adapting to the needs of those present. I am finding working with these energies quite interesting. After each exercise or healing we share our various perspectives and experiences.

This was a very healing gathering. Since the Walpurgisnacht ritual at my house a couple of nest members have been at odds with some of our regular visitors. (Actually attendance at our rituals overlaps quite a bit with another Madison area nest - we seem to have developed what I hope is a very nice symbiotic relationship while still maintaining individual nest identities.) They have been keeping a dialogue open and were both present for the workshop and ritual. They both felt that it helped to heal their relationship. Another person came who hasn't come since last year because of a problem with another nest member. I felt that this willingness to come together and work together was a good sign for the future of our nest.
