Skeezyks (and others,)
As we're trying to figure out how to proceed -- I very much agree with the idea of going slowly and getting it right, rather than rushing in for immediate gratification -- I wonder if it would be helpful to us to discuss each of the separate principles and practices in the forum or in chat.
For example, as I look at the first principle as it's listed, I can see lots of area of discussion and learning and understanding each other's personal points-of-view.
Quote:
Everyone has an inner teacher.
Every person has access to an inner source of truth, named in various wisdom traditions as identity, true self, heart, spirit or soul. The inner teacher is a source of guidance and strength that helps us find our way through life’s complexities and challenges. Circles of Trust give people a chance to listen to this source, learn from it and discover its imperatives for their work and their lives.

The concept of the inner teacher can be taken literally or metaphorically, we can have a sense of immediate access or it can be buried, it can speak to us in every day life or in our dreams. Maybe we hear it and ignore it or maybe we hear Ego demands and mistake them for wisdom. So many possibilities. It would be fascinating to discover if we're on the same wavelength with this basic principle or if we're left saying, huh?
Does anyone else have interest in discussing the basic principles?
