Reflections on Legacy Salons w Andrea Freeman:
Andrea Freeman was asked to facilitate the Legacy Salon series and it has been a real joy working with her to bring these to life. Here we share two from the interview shared in the HEN monthly newsletter!
Note: You can watch Legacy salon and other videos by paying a small donation to HEN. To know more reach out to Lisa at: [email protected]
Any moments that surprised you during the series?
I loved learning more about Ron as a human. How he would become obsessed with some new science concept or lit up by a new article or book he read, and then would pretty quickly start to weave that into the Hakomi method. He was constantly refining and it surprised me how much the method changed right up until he died. I’m watching a lot of the Hakomi legacy library videos right now and I often see Ron starting a video by introducing a new concept and then making up a new exercise the group hadn’t done before. How interesting to learn Hakomi while it was in such evolution!
Anything you'd like to share with the community about the Salons, the future of Hakomi or anything related?
I really felt the stirring of invitation in the last Legacy Salon that was focused on the future. I could feel this invitation to step forward, to bring your ideas forward, to offer yourself in service to this work in the world. I could feel the legacy of hundreds of volunteers who have helped steward this work forward, and I could
feel the inner agitation in myself - what’s my part to play in this stewardship? I’m living that question now and it gives me a lot of excitement and hope for the future that there are so many, just like me, who have been forever changed by Hakomi and want to find ways to help this work deepen and grow.
