A circle-based dialogue practice with four intentions — speak from the
|
|
heart, listen from the heart, be spontaneous, and be lean. Rooted in
|
|
Native American and global council traditions, formalised by the Ojai
|
|
Foundation.

|
|
A facilitator opens with a dedication and reads the four intentions:
|
|
speak from the heart, listen from the heart, be spontaneous, be lean.
|
|
- headline: Pass the talking piece
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The talking piece is passed; only the holder speaks. Each person shares
|
|
what is alive for them, spontaneously, without rehearsal.
|
|
- headline: Witness without response
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Listeners receive what is said without rebuttal, advice, or cross-talk.
|
|
The piece moves on when the speaker is complete.
|
|
- headline: Close council
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The facilitator closes with a dedication or silence, marking the end of
|
|
the held space.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
The group shares authentically and listens deeply; trust and connection
|
|
grow through witness rather than debate.

"Be lean" means say what is true and stop — don't pad. "Be spontaneous"
|
|
means don't rehearse while others speak. Both are hard. |
