Our early work in GC also aims to create situations & conditions where we may have a direct taste of higher quality experiencing, and a sense of what life might be like if we were to step outside the mundane. Then, we continue to have a connection to the mundane, but we recognise it's not where we properly belong. If this taste of "real living" has a resonance for us, then perhaps we might take a shot at learning how to row upstream.

The first Circle meeting with the Level One at 09.45 addressed, inter alia, intention, listening & the function of the left hand.
The GC course at Gandara earlier this year completed the second of Guitar Craft's life cycles. This course is the first within the new life cycle. This implies a change of focus within the community of more experienced Crafties, and myself, that we may better respond to the necessities of Guitar Craft's creative future.

Several good comments at lunch on the work of the morning. And the Hell Boys performed "Hell Boy Cha-Cha-Cha".

The Level Two performed "Calliope" at dinner, plus a circulation. Many interesting & useful comments on the day.
The full Team meeting, with around 85 guitars in two circles - the inner and outer circles of Guitar Craft, as it were - pitifully attempted dual circulations before moving on to polymetric thrakking.
It is interesting to note how our experience of time changes on GC courses.
