spaciousness over stimulation
We teach what we most need to learn. I’m easily overexcited, and excitement can tip into anxiety, so being unhurried matters to me. In an anxious world, events should relieve pressure, not add to it.
Less experienced facilitators over-design and fill silences with stimulation. The master skill is self-restraint: slowing down, staying present, creating space for genuine connection, a kind of unhurried improv. That’s what my April Cambridge workshop, What Else is Possible Here?, explores.
