From a December 2007 board meeting, a few responses to the question, what is engagement at it's juiciest for you?
Engagement is juicy when.
- a team becomes stronger through the fire
- we create a space for radical difference
- we decrease the desire to hurt
- many stakeholders, including children, participate
- the context is civil, safe, and ready for dialogue
- we begin to see alternative perspectives and bring them together
- we see passion areas as possible
- a strong possibility of community, of WE, becomes clear
- we work sustainably, and on behalf of what we care about like the environment
- we connect to natural places and sacred places
- we work on a project without personal agenda
- we feel the new, the dynamic
- I see a need, I do my little part, and I come to expand relationships to know people outside of my tribe
- we expand from what we know to something deeper; we go forward with something bigger
- we come to know more of each others' stories; the shortest distance between two people is a story
