Winde Rienstra

I lived two days in The Magic of Presence weekend, two days of getting in touch with what's below the surface level of relations, with the group and even more importantly with myself. Coming out more alive. Grateful!

Small, intimate, full of opportunity and invitation to find myself. Being in connection isn't always easy, but seldom so beautiful and eye opening. All of me was there, all along, ready to be heard, expressed, seen, and - although terrifying - even there to be met by others. Transformational Connection is an invitation like no other to come find yourself, let go, touch, transform.

Winde clearly has depths to her one couldn't begin to call "explored" if one signed up for 10 weekends. It's hard to describe well but one thing that stands out for me is how she both shares herself in the group in a way that leads to further layers being uncovered and at the same time manages to give lots of space for others to bring themselves. I also really enjoyed how she created space for one of the senior participants to lead a singing session. I don't consider myself an enthusiastic singer by a long shot but enjoyed every second regardless. Impressive! It shows how much of Winde's power seems to lie in how she's able to play with those around her.

This was the Surrendered Leadership meeting that I was hoping for. Thank you Winde and David. I'm looking forward to the next one.
