  "description": "Worm Time Dialogues follow the Wheel of the Year and are a gentle invitation to attune to the rhythms and cycles of nature, and explore your relationship to nature time. If you are feeling the weight of the fast-paced, productivity-focused, mechanistic experience of time, then this workshop is for you.\n\nThis Worm Time dialogue will draw inspiration from the energy and wisdom available to us at Samhain. This Celtic festival on October 31st, is a seasonal midpoint celebration marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of Winter. Together we will explore what we can learn and experience by paying attention to nature's rhythms. \n\n_“Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.” - Lao Tzu_\n\n**What is a Worm Time dialogue?**\n\nThis workshop is an invitation to slow down, listen, reflect, share and connect with yourself, others and the world around you. It is grounded in the principles and practice of Bohm Dialogue - a facilitated listening practice that allows individuals to develop communication, thinking and relating skills and groups to deeply enquire together, share meaning and create new thinking. It combines this with the emergent philosophy of '[Worm Time](https://www.creatingmeaning.club/worm-time-1).'\n\nWorm Time, formerly known as ‘doing nothing,’ is a period of creative rest, where we can\n\n-_metabolise _our experiences  \n-_compost_ our thoughts and feelings  \n-_turn over_ new ideas\n\nLike the magically complex world that exists in the soil under our feet, allowing ourselves creative rest, is the time for the invisible ‘work’ to take place. The integration of our outer and inner worlds.\n\n**Session overview**\n\nThe session will begin with a series of short framing exercises, individually, in pairs and small groups. These simple creative exercises are designed to cultivate curiosity and stimulate deeper thinking on universal experiences and feelings that can be explored in more depth during the dialogue. The dialogue itself is practised in a circle: creating an inclusive and non-hierarchical space. The process requires deep listening that allows for inquiry into what is important to individuals and the group. Participants are not required to speak unless they feel moved to do so; the group will follow the ‘flow of meaning’ and moments of silence are welcome. Dialogue does not require agreement during the process or specific outcomes. However, it does require a willingness to participate with respect, openness and non-judgement.\n\n**Find out about** [**further dialogues here.**](https://dandelion.events/u/creating_meaning)\n\n**A note on pricing**  \nI believe that the world urgently needs more dialogue, and that the experience and skills of dialogue should be accessible to anyone. I keep my public facing dialogue workshops as low-cost as possible, to cover the cost of venue hire for in-person workshops and a small contribution for online sessions. \n\n- If the cost is still inaccessible to you and you would like to attend please get in touch.\n- If you are an organisation and would like to discuss how dialogue could benefit you please get in touch. My facilitation and dialogue work in organisations is what allows me to offer low-cost public dialogues.  \n[jessica@creatingmeaning.club](mailto:jessica@creatingmeaning.club)",
