Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
Invite Participation. Rituals are much more fun when all are invited to participate (instead of simply watching). I like to make sure that everyone is invited to do something. This is in contrast to pressuring someone to participate. Sometimes it’s a rich experience simply to be present while others participate more actively. Those who choose to participate less actively may simply prefer a more contemplative participation. You can invite participants to do any activity that works for the space and intention. This is the part that many rituals leave out and that makes them boring.
The Art of Community

Thereafter I tried to train everyone to pay attention to every detail, and I organised a chain reaction of feedback. I told them they must say what’s on their minds. The men near the foredeck would speak through the vastly experienced Ya, the rest through Hughey, both filtering the vital information to me. Silence means tension, and that’s no good. I must have told the crew a thousand times: “When we come off the starting line, I want this boat as loose as a goose. I want feedback, opinions, everyone tuned in, making observations, helping in every way—everyone totally involved, contributing. Everyone is crucial to this effort.”
