The Trump Era: Day 1

My colleagues Diane Hamilton and Terry Patten are here at my home, preparing for the Integral Living Room gathering which begins tomorrow. They arrived a day early, yesterday (November 8), so we could celebrate Hillary Clinton’s victory together. Ha ha! Instead we, like millions of people, are trying to come to terms with the victory of Donald Trump.

Suddenly we are in a new world, dealing with questions like:

  • Where are we?
  • Why did this happen?
  • What do we need to see?
  • How might we respond?

Of course nothing is settled, except that we are embarking on a new adventure together — one that Diane, Terry and I, at least, would never have chosen. We recorded a conversation of our process to share with you, in case it might help you make sense of things as well.
