What should I be paying attention to?

But from time to time people ask me how to run one. Today, I got an email from a dear friend who is looking to use TWC in Ukraine on healing old society/familial pain.

- Dear Raffi, it's great seeing you here :-)
Yesterday I was thinking, maybe we should Skype out personally before our goddesses can hold the circle?
Looking forward to sharing stories ...

- Раффи, привет, мне было чрезвычайно интересно быть участницей вчерашне-сегодняшнего действа, люди очень сенситивные, цмеющие слушать и дающие спейс для других, нам в ИТ тоже надо больше разговаривать, чувствовать других, их взгляды, варить общую кашу, пока мы разделены, я так чувствую, думаю, что скайп надо использовать для болле близкого и частого профессионального общения!
