Here I am now in Jarna, Sweden as a contributor to the Youth Initiative Program (www.yip.se) that gathers young from 18 to 25 for a whole year so can learn and experience practices of social entrepreneurship. The place is beautiful and is considered to be the center for Antroposophy in Scandinavia, so is quite special...
As Jasmine (my mate for this work, whom I met in Copenhagen) and I were walking towards the venue where the training would take place on Monday morning, this beautiful deer came running and crossed our way. It was just amazing and I wonder what was the sign it was bringing for us.
As the week passes by, and we unfold the Chaordic Stepping Stones to the group and they respond to us saying they are really liking it and that it's being at perfect timing, I realize the deer was telling me about having the courage to step up and take leadership to pass on the knowledge and experience that I have. As I go sharing with these youngsters what my journey has been and what I am holding for the future, it grows bigger in me the sense of responsibility to play an active and intentional role in hosting youth in becoming their full potential as well as bridging them with the adult/ elder world.
And I am so grateful for that clarity and for the opportunity to be here now.

ALIA Europe
This afernoon I got in Elspeet where the ALIA (Authentic Leadership in Action) Program is taking place for the first time in Europe. The place is in the middle of a national park and is all covered in snow now, since it's been snowing strongly for the past weeks in the whole Europe.
On my arrival the first person I met was Margareth Wheathley, author of the book Leadership and The New Science and some other around the power of conversations and learning communities. Wow, I said to myself, I am here and having the chance to meet these great thinkers.
As the afternoon unfolded I got meet other very interesting people who are here to attend one of the 5 modules that are gonna take place for the next five days.
I will be attending the one co-hosted by Peter Merry and Dylan Newcomb called Integral Practice of Evolutionary Leadership and Change, which will explore the living and literally embodied experience of new ways of leadership. Dylan is one of the greatest dancers in the world and has been exploring the combination between dance and theories for the new world for the past years. He has developed what is called the 16 Ways (http://www.dylannewcomb.com/Dylan_Newcomb/The_16_Ways.html). Peter is a facilitator for group processes and designs on sustainability, one of the co-founders of the Centre for Human Emergence Netherlands (http://www.humanemergence.nl/en/index.php) and also one of the partners of Engage (http://www.engagency.nl/).
It's now 9pm and I am sitting in my room, quite tired of all the good conversations I had since this afternoon, as I landed in the space and in this group of around 130 people going from one room to the other, from lunch to dinner, introducing myself, telling my story and listening other peoples stories. Wow, I can feel this is going to be a quite intense week, with much to reflect on as the learning journey continues. I can't wait.

AMSTERDAM
Dia 05 de Janeiro de 2010 e eu estou sentada no sofa do Hub Amsterdam (http://www.the-hub.net/). Pela janela eu vejo a cidade sorrindo com o carinho do sol e do ceu azul, a neve branca nas ruas e as pessoas felizes caminhando na calcada ou pedalando pela rua. Aqui dentro eu observo todas essas pessoas trabalhando em seus computadores, conversando, criando, discutindo ideias e projetos de como fazer deste o mundo que queremos viver.
Aqui no meu mundo particular, mil ideias passam pela cabeca, umas mais excitantes que outras... projetos, perguntas, investigacoes, dilemas, desafios... Estar inserida nesse mundo de pratica e experimento, tentativa e erro, me inspira e desperta ainda mais minha intencao de estar "ativa no tatame da minha pratica profissional."
Na semana que estarei no ALIA Institute participando do curso: Integral Practice for Evolutionary Leadership and Change(http://www.aliainstitute.org/programs/2010europe/module05.html)com Peter Merry e Dylan Newcomb. O modulo e parte de um programa em lideranca que contara com outros 4 modulos simultaneos ao longo de 5 dias, e traz uma abordagem interessante de movimentos corporais com teorias de lideranca
