Speakers Note:
As you can hear, this is an entirely raw zoom recording between friends meeting online during Covid to share and test their thinking and to explore one another's ideas. I am speaking here to 2 male collaborators who had invited me to speak about my experiences and work in development and spirituality in different parts of the world.
On this occasion I decided to share in relation to a developmental model that draws from the work of Piaget, James Fowler & M Scott Peck. This 'Stages' model has inspired, challenged and fascinated me, since I came across it many years ago.
This recording was never expected or intended to be heard publicly but was later shared and posted by the listeners on the call.
I would normally remove the obvious errors and hyperbole that happen when one speaks to close friends in a personal and private conversation before any public sharing.
However, I have been encouraged to just be willing to let this recorded ‘rant’ remain - and to accept the vulnerability and faith necessary therein.
I hope that the spirit in which it was delivered may balance the elements that I wish I had improved in my delivery.
