thank you Anna, keep on nudging and pushing, it may not always achieve all the desired results, but certainly improve compared to the status quo!
I agree with you Michel. In my own experience I participate in a sharing group which styles itself sacred activists. It has no particular agenda. Someone wanted to join who found climbing the stairs to the meeting room difficult. She proposed looking for another space with disabled access. Others objected that they really liked the room where we are meeting. Personally I was shocked that they would not consider moving to include this person, and I did consider leaving the group. But I had to accept that to them inclusivity was not a priority. And I have continued to attend the group which I still find very rewarding.
At the same time I have maintained a connection with the person who was excluded, and Inclusivity is still important to me. June and I may continue to 'nudge' while really appreciating and supporting the work that you do, and also appreciating your responses and the opportunity for this discussion.
(I will try to always remember to sign so that you know who this is from.)
