As we begin to wrap up STIA+ 2014, we are asked to reflect on where we are, personally, presently and fully. Some reflections from our time together thus far.
"When I think of conferences, I think about having information pushed at me. Here I feel the space has been made for connectiveness. Compared to many other conferences out there, I see that the new faces are now people who I feel connected to."
"It was a gift for me to witness how other participants brought their whole selves, and their authenticity to every moment."
"This conference has given me the space to understand what it is I want to do, what I was meant to do."
"I am in a place in my life where I want to make a bigger contribution. I have an inkling of what that looks like. This conference has inspired me by the generosity and the stories that you've shared. I am inspired to dream bigger."
We also gave a 'popcorn' style checkout. Here are some of our words were shared.
real. transcended. full. transition. space between being and longing. appreciating. authenticity. cared for. content. expanded. love and happiness. responsibility. appreciated. grateful. overwhelmed. grateful in excess. energized. divine fatigue. curious. jump. hopeful. thankful. joyful. loving. connected. awed.
Although it seems like we are at the end, we have only barely begun.
