i have been thinking about this all day,,, and it occurs to me that if we are to provide a safe place to introspect and interact, we must focus on becoming the kind of person who has those skills. i know i need to work on them myself.

how does one refrain from being the unskillful self ? how does one recognize when a mis-step has been made. what does one do with that information ? this group is more than just a place to feel safe, and learn to trust others; it is a place to learn to see oneself and trust in the stillness within.
