Well, gosh, Chris, I guess that answers THAT question, eh?? I am on the side of keeping it going. It never occurred to me that a change needed to be made as a result of the downtime. I believe this is a soundly established resource, serves an important function (the safe interchange of ideas, solutions and experiences) and will grow tremendously over time. The contributions made are valuable and come from those who choose to contribute. That freedom makes the site even more valuable. In fact, I've found it to be strengthening just to read through the messages, knowing that others around the world are doing what I am doing with this remarkable tool that Bert developed. I owe thanks to you, Chris, for that. You were spot on when the idea for such a sounding board came to you and it is developing naturally. Your messages water the ground, and your contributions are always gladly received.
I look forward to seeing/meeting many? of you at ZIST or perhaps in Holland at the Organizational Training in Oct. Or perhaps in Oct. 2005 in Portland, Oregon for the First US Congress on the Constellation Work of Bert Hellinger. The opportunities are many. Thank you, Chris, for this one. All the best, sheila

New discussions can be added at any time , but old discussions remain amenable. All the relevant entries then stay together and accessible in one place. The downside is you don't get an email to tell you when there is something new.
