So beautifully written, the magic of really being present with what's in front of you without any agenda or other forced idea is palpable through your words! Each of your personal participants' reflections on how they've experienced this in their lives is inspiring, thank you for sharing! I volunteer with a Climate Emergency Center where I live, and we always start our meetings with a 'check-in' which is about arriving into the space before we start discussing anything, but I'd love to bring your offer of building in silence to them and see how that changes our gatherings.

Thank you, Divya!

Checking in is important and

Many meetings don’t start there.

The interesting thing with silence

Is that you pick up on other things than words.

Even online, presence can be felt in others.
