Welcome to the group, Chiara! I'm happy to announce that I have just finished my masters degree and I have now more free time. If anyone is interested in meeting for a coffee, I'll be more than happy to spend some time in a nice conversation!
I found this beautiful poem in our Art of Hosting booklet and I wanted to share it with you:
I will keep the fire in my heart
With the bright face of the moon as my witness Friends, I promise you That I will keep the fire in my heart. I will lean into that fire Even if it melts the soles of my shoes Even if it singes my hair and blackens my fingers I will not stop For our humanity is at stake. There, in the centre of the fire, there where we have always met Are the embers the wise ones have sheltered on our behalf. What we have always known, long in the forgetting Is rising through the flames again. It takes those of us who are the firekeepers, Who are the rocksitters, who have the circle in our blood and bone To make the shape that calls the others home. We have hidden the patterns in our stories, our poems, our songs In the deepest parts of our being. And we will speak, we will sing, we will dance our way Back. Even now the plazas beckon. Even now the squares call out For life lived in its fullest expression. You who have been solitary, you who have been alone Remember this word: Together. - Mary Alice Arthur

I found this beautiful poem in our Art of Hosting booklet and I wanted to share it with you:
I will keep the fire in my heart
With the bright face of the moon as my witness
Friends, I promise you
That I will keep the fire in my heart.
I will lean into that fire
Even if it melts the soles of my shoes
Even if it singes my hair and blackens my fingers
I will not stop
For our humanity is at stake.
There, in the centre of the fire, there where we have always met
Are the embers the wise ones have sheltered on our behalf.
What we have always known, long in the forgetting
Is rising through the flames again.
It takes those of us who are the firekeepers,
Who are the rocksitters, who have the circle in our blood and bone
To make the shape that calls the others home.
We have hidden the patterns in our stories, our poems, our songs
In the deepest parts of our being.
And we will speak, we will sing, we will dance our way
Back.
Even now the plazas beckon. Even now the squares call out
For life lived in its fullest expression.
You who have been solitary, you who have been alone
Remember this word:
Together.
