Camp Caravan, Royalston, Massachusetts.
A grey, warm, beginning day at Camp Caravan.

And if in doubt, have a whizz!
Personal meetings beginning just after 11.30.
14.07 Good comments at lunch on the evolving forms & patterns; their nomenclature; an examination & testing of circulating, including small group examples standing & clapping, and clapping around the table.

22.34 A few words on the morning sitting.
"Address the process rather than the outcome.
Then, the outcome becomes more likely."
